The JNI, led by the Sultan of Sokoto,
Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar, said despite the concerns expressed by
well-meaning Nigerians, the President had gone ahead to inaugurate the
conference, in Abuja on Monday.
The JNI’s Secretary-General, Dr. Khalid
Aliyu, at a news conference on Wednesday in Kaduna, said no amount of
conferences would solve the myriad of problems confronting Nigeria,
except “when our leaders lead with justice and equity in the country.”
According to him, 62 per cent of the
delegates to the conference are Christians while the remaining
percentage is shared by Muslims and other religions in the land.
The Secretary-General said that of
specific concern to the JNI was the representation of the security
exports in the conference, noting that out of the 18 security exports at
the conference, only 22.2 per cent were Muslims.
He said, “What is most disturbing is
that the Muslim leadership and Islamic groups have called the attention
of the President to this matter but he has paid no attention to the
concern of the Muslims
“Let me comment on the conference, which
the Federal Government has convened. It is on record that many
Nigerians, including the leadership of the Muslim community in the
country, have expressed various concerns regarding the confab.
Nigerians have warned that the confab is ill-timed given that
electioneering is about to begin. Even with all these cries, the
conveners have gone ahead to host the conference.
“We find it a great disregard and
disrespect to the conscience of the Muslims that of the 20 delegates of
the Federal Government, only six are Muslims. No Muslim is deemed fit
to make the list of the Nigerian Economic Summit
“In fact, in the representation of the
security agencies, Muslims have been so unimaginably short-changed with
only one Muslim out of the six retired military and security
personnel.”
He said, “One needs not to be told that almost the whole north is on fire.
“In the north today, police stations and
military barracks, which are supposed to be the most secure have become
the most vulnerable to attacks.”
He then appealed to all Nigerians,
irrespective of their religious and ethnic affinity to come together to
address the problem of insecurity in the country in order to safeguard
the future of the nation.
President
Jonathan’s woes have nothing to do with his minority ethnicity, but the
manifestation of his incompetence, cluelessness and inferiority
complex, and the fact that he is backed by a greedy, visionless and
crooked cabal, both within his government and his party,” APC said.
The party said if indeed the PDP believes the opposition is sponsoring Boko Haram to stop President Jonathan from realizing his so-called Transformation Agenda, what prevents the PDP-led Federal Government from instituting a probe into all the incidences so far, and to unravel the sources of the sect’s weapons, as demanded recently by Gov. Murtala Nyako?
APC said just like ethno-religious crises in Nigeria predate President Jonathan’s assumption of office, the Boko Haram insurgency started in 2002 during the Obasanjo regime, even though it became aggravated in 2009 when then President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua ordered a joint security operation, following the killing of over a dozen policemen, and the failure of police action to curb the crisis.
The party said it is public knowledge that the operation led to the killing of an estimated 1,000 alleged Boko Haram members, including the extra-judicial murder of sect leader Muhammed Yusuf, and set the stage for the insurgency that Nigeria is witnessing today.
”Even then, the insurgency that could have been quickly curtailed has worsened under President Jonathan because of his ineffectual leadership. Instead of tackling the insurgency decisively as a well-honed leader would have done, the clueless President and his equally feckless party have resorted to blaming the opposition and everyone but themselves for the worsening of the crisis,” it said.
APC said the usual recourse to President Jonathan’s ethnic origin to cover his glaring non-performance does not impress Nigerians, who are aware that as a minority, Jonathan could not have become President without the votes of the country’s majority ethnic groups- Hausa/Fulani, Igbo and Yoruba
”In any case, if the PDP is arguing that President Jonathan is being ‘persecuted’ because he hails from a minority ethnic group, is it the majority ethnic groups that supposedly voted massively for him that are now persecuting him? And what will be their reasons for persecuting the same man they voted into office?
”The truth is that President Jonathan is overwhelmed by the demands of his office, and his party is more interested in looting the public treasury than assisting him to succeed,” the party said. ”The President and his party should admit their failure to meet the yearnings and aspirations of Nigeria and give way to those who are willing and able to perform.”
