BSO PRESS RELEASE: JONATHANS BOLD VISIT TO THE NORTH EAST Mr. President must be commended for eventually building up the courage to visit Maiduguri in the North East just yesterday. People had wandered if Mr. President will ever campaign in the North East. By this action he has further underscored the absolute requirement of a President to maintain sovereignty of Nigeria through the valleys and hills ,from the swampy creeks of the Niger Delta to the semi desert regions of the Northern Nigeria. We would have applauded President Jonathan for this August visit to Maiduguri, a town that has suffered constant bombardment by the Boko Haram insurgents, with resultant tremendous loss of lives and properties. As the President and Commander –in -- Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria he owes all Nigerians a duty of care and responsibility to first and foremost secure lives and properties, this visit is certainly a little too late and contemporarily disingenuous. To have waited after several years is most unfortunate . To visit when presidential election is imminent, wreckswith a great deal of suspicion and we cannot be taken in by this late visit to Maiduguri as its nothing but softening of ground to pave way for President Jonathan’s support seeking gambit of same people he had failed to empathised with during their greatest hour of need . However, hope is here.When Buhari/Osinbajo presidency is elected under APC things will be done differently. An APC presidency will urgently and completely secure the territorial integrity of the nation. It will never leave defence of the nation in the hands of Hunters, Children, and Civilian JTF. An APC presidency elected by Nigerians will embark on the following listed operational actions to secure Nigeria with the intention to efficiently manage and prosper our people. 1. Urgently address capacity building mechanisms of law enforcement agents in terms of quantity and quality as this is critical in safeguarding the sanctity of lives and property; 2. Buhari/Osinbajo presidency will establish a well trained, adequately equipped and goals-driven Anti-terrorism Division (ATD), to combat insurgencies, kidnapping, armed robbery, ethno‐religious and communal clashes, nationwide; 3. Buhari/Osinbajo presidency will consult and amend the Constitution to enable States and Local Governments to create city, Local government and State Policing systems, (based on the resources available at each levels), to address the peculiar needs of each community. It will therefore work with the National Assembly to set and revise, when needed, boundaries of operations, for Federal, State, and Local government policing units, through new Criminal Justice legislation to replace the Criminal Code, the Penal Code and the Police Act. 4. Buhari/Osinbajo presidency will push for more robust support in the Security and Economic stability of the West-African sub‐region and African Continent as a whole. It will seek and maintain close and frank relationships with ALL of West Africa; Special relationships with South Africa and its Sub-region; UK, USA, Canada, EU, Asia, and the Middle East In so so doing, the Buhari/Osinbajo presidency will be responsive and sensitive to the security needs of all Nigerians. The choice before Nigerians is clear. To vote massively for an APC-led government on the 14th of February 2015. This is the surest way to secure lives and properties in Nigeria..
