[A Must Read] This Is Not Fair In All Ramification! Boko Haram, Northern Leaders & Amnesty. In 2008, former President Musa YarAdua declared that if the militants in the Niger Delta come out and denounce violence, he will grant them amnesty. Immediately this was said, the region stakeholders folded their sleeves and trousers and jumped into the creeks to convince the militants how serious and genuine YarAdua was, to the extent that Chief Tony Anenih used himself as a guarantee by allowing himself to be held hostage in the creeks while the militant leaders went to accept the amnesty. Alaibe and Clark all walked around the creeks begging Tompolo and Ateke Tom to accept amnesty! Meanwhile, President Musa YarAdua never stepped his legs in the creeks. He made the statements in Aso Rock and he also received the militants in Aso Rock even without him knowing exactly how the militants were convinced. Now president Jonathan has given amnesty to Boko Haram if they denounce violence. I expected the northern leaders to fold their sleeves and trousers too to jump into Sambisa Forest or wherever these people hide and plead with Sheikh Shekau and his men. If possible, the northern leaders should offer themselves as hostages the way Tony Anenih and others did and allow Shekau himself to come out and dialogue. If you talk, they wouldl say Jonathan should fight the sect alone afterall that he is the chief security officer of the country and Chief in Command of the Armed Forces. When kidnappings was growing lease and bound in Anambra State, the then governor, Mr Peter Obi had to use his head to think of any possible way to asist the FG to combat crime in his state especially kidnapping. He even signed a law that any house that kidnappers use for their activities must be demolished and the land confiscated. Not that this crime has been totally eradicated but atleast, it has reduced. Now tell me, what action has the North-East governors taken so far to help the military? Blackmailing the military? When kidnapping and rape was getting out of hand in Edo State, what action did Adams Oshiomhole took? Did he just fold his hands and insist that it was President Jonathans work? The answer is, NO! Rather he looked for possible ways to help within the law by signing into law a death penalty for kidnappers. He helped to an extent of even signing the death sentence of some fools and we knew how extent this helped. But what efforts have Borno, Adamawa, Yobe, the northern elders and leaders of the norths taken so far to assist the military rather than blackmailing the military and making threats of going to the World Court at the Hague?? See...these whole mess is like a football striker who has the opportunity to stop the opponent player from scoring but simply leaves him alone because he feels that it is the job of the defender to stop opponent from scoring and not the strikers job. Wicked people and enemies of the citizens.
