PRESIDENCY ARROGANT AND CONFUSED
The response by the Presidency to Governor Nyako's memo to Northern Governors has further proved that those running the Federal Government are arrogant and confused. They arrogate all knowledge and wisdom to themselves alone. We hold the statements we released as true and challenge those who claim to have a sense of history to cut-off the use of jaundiced sementics to address the issues raised in this and several other documents before it. By telling black lies about the attack on Governor Nyako which was never investigated no acertaind, the Presidency is providing further proof that it knows more than it is willing to admit in the whole saga. Feeding the public with untruth is becoming a new culture in Abuja. The statement on the supposed rescue of the abducted girls is enough to prove that. It is a pity that responsible and supposedly educated people could manufacture statements and attribute them to others just to create an escape route from their glaring failures. None of the statements attributed to Governor Nyako by the Presidency were ever made by him. They were all manufactured for lack of a sound counter argument.
If indeed the Presidency is not complacent about the killings in the country how come the President went dancing a day after several citizens were killed in Abuja? If they claim that Nyako does not deserve to be Governor, are they fit to be where they are? When we say the Boko Haram phenomenum is phantom we are talking based on several testimonies by the President. At one point he said there are Boko Haram in his Government, at another point he said they are ghosts he cannot dialogue with ghosts, yet recently he admitted that the young poverty striken persons so far arrested cannot afford the guns they carry. And we say to them you have full command and control of the Armed Forces and Security outfits with all the Intellegence units, investigate their activities, espose their patrons, sponsors and strategic commanders and arrest them. We also challenge them to expose their sources of arms. We still repeat the earlier questions we raised. 1. How come the insurgents move about unchallenged at night in our states under so called emergency rule when we have a night time curfew in place? 2. How come the insurgents operate for many hours unchallenged when we have military units all over the place? 3. How come the insurgents move with a large convoy of vehicles through routes that have 24 hours military check pointts? 4. How come statements by the Presidency and other authorities in Abuja are always at variance with realities on ground at the theatres of conflict? We want answers not insults or empty rhetorics.
On the issue of creating divisions among the peeople, no one does it better than a Prresidency that urges its backers to direct its people to implicate innocent Northerners in Bombings they know nothing of, or one whose known official uses online sources to inplicate someone it choses to hate for no just cause. This Presidency also encourages some of its spokespersons to speak ill of certain persons and religion without a reprimand. This is the most divisive leadership in the history of this country and it also the most desperate to cling to power even at the cost of several lives of innocent citizens. Unfortunately it is also the most inept, confused, greedy, corrupt and incompetent regime ever.
On the corruption mantra, while the Presidency is fond of asking Governors to account for allocations given, we challenge them to live by the same token, declare what you got and account for it. After all we now have proof that certain projects which are not executed have been announced as completed such as the Hong to Mubi road in our state which the Minister of Information announced its execution at their Bauchi Rally. Meanwhile, someone should help us ask the President under what Budget sub-head did he get the money he alledgedly gave Governor Kwankwaso to bribe delegates to vote for him which was alledgedly diverted. We think rather than vent their venom in insulting people, presidential spokespersons and media managers should do better by re-focussing the man to be more open minded and competent in grappling with the mirade of challenges facing the nation.
