Boko Haram: Do not waste time on amnesty |
2013-05-12 |
[DAILYPOST.NG] As controversy continues to trail the proposed amnesty for the Islamic fundamentalists, Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... , respected holy man and President, Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, has advised President ![]() ... 14th President of Nigeria. He was Governor of Bayelsa State from 9 December 2005 to 28 May 2007, and was sworn in as Vice President on 29 May 2007. Jonathan is a member of the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP). He is a lover of nifty hats, which makes him easily recognizable unless someone else in the room is wearing a neat chapeau... not to waste his time pampering the outlawed group, stating that amnesty was not the way forward. Oritsejafor, gave this advise in Abuja after receiving an award of "A True Servant of God" given to him by the Christian Elder Forum of Northern States,NOSCEF. He also called on the federal government to set up cattle ranches for Fulani herdsmen, instead of allowing them to wander around major cities across the country. Oritsejafor who wept openly for victims of Boko Haram insurgency dismissed the amnesty deal, coupled with the earlier quoted statement by Abu Qaqa. He said that they had reinforced their stance that the sect's only interest is to eliminate Christians and enthrone an Islamic state in Nigeria. He said, "This is why we are again calling on President Goodluck Jonathan not to waste taxpayers' money on a futile exercise. He should review the amnesty deal for Boko Haram, in view of the bravado by the sect leader, Mallam Shekau. Boko Haram is not only a local terrorist organization; it has a ring of international connection to it. Do not waste time pampering the sect members because amnesty deal will not work. |
