The All Progressive Congress Presidential Campaign has asked President Goodluck Jonathan to address the nation on the massacre in Baga town, which the Amnesty International has described as the single most deadly incident since the unfortunate insurgency started in the country. A statement by a Director of the Directorate of Media and Publicity of the APC presidential campaign office, Mallam Garba Shehu, on Saturday said the PDP had dwelt so much on the issue of academic certificate of its candidate, Maj. Gen Muhammadu Buhari, while there were more pressing issues for the government controlled by the party to address. “This government should not go on being insensitive. It has to be accountable to Nigerians. The issue of certificate of General Buhari is a non-issue as everyone knows that Buhari is a product of Daura Primary School, Katsina Provisional Secondary School (now Government College, Katsina) and the Nigerian Military Training College. This is in addition to several other courses he attended at home and abroad.” The statement added that “while the PDP government has failed in its duty and responsibilities to the citizens and the nation, it has intensified effort to pull the wool over the eyes of Nigerians.” It said a leading member of the party, Governor Babangida Aliyu of Niger State, a few days ago, informed Nigerians that in politics, you must tell lies. It said Nigerians should take their cue from there. “Unfortunately, PDP has become a political party that is so fixated with keeping an incompetent government in power and is lustfully engaged in pursuing a non-issue about an individual’s academic qualifications,” the statement added.

Everything is NOT divisive politics. Fighting requires unity and all hands to be on deck. Omo Ogun Apc is now teaching Jonathan his job. Mr president please do us and yourself a favour and resign, it would be the your best contribution to Nigeria yet Kayode Are you celebrating this massacre? So you delibrately asked your foot soldiers to carry out this Massacre to distract the President? Are you really working for the good of this nation or you just take pleasure in killing innocent Nigerians just to advance your ungodly and evil desire to take Power. Buhari is indeed behind Boko haram. zoroLion What is APC doing about the insurgency in the North east? France won’t have been able to kill those guys if those that helped the police with information wanted to be president before they do it. Please let’s save Nigeria together and stop causing problems to make the government look week. God help us all ben In a democracy, a government that is effective is one that is afraid of it’s citizens. It is obvious that this government and the party it stands for has no respect for nor fear for it’s citizens. How else can one explain their callousness and total disregard for the destruction going on in the northeast of the country? Do these people have any iota of humanity in their hearts? BLACK SAINT Why not kill all d alamajiri in d north and go ahead to blackmail d president apc fool CONSCIENCE You are speaking to the wrong person! GEJ address the nation? Tall order! antonie I have been waiting for this news from APC. My spirit today me if APC replied this attack then they are behind it. My spirit does not lie. APC is heavily behind BH direct or indirect. But its quite unfortunate that the are playing games and politics with people’s life. No help,encouragement or solution from them only hipping blames upon blames on GEJ leaving FG to fight the way alone how on earth? God is on ur side GEJ move on. bukola @@ Bukoharimasacra, vic apc, did not you know, nigeria has no president but a chop-chop clueless dummy??? PINCO APC IS A MUSLIM PARTY. THEY TAUGHT THEIR ADHERENTS JIHAD. THEY CELEBRATE MURDER OF CHRISTIANS IN BAGA AS THEY ARE EXTREMISTS. THEY USE TERRORISM FOR POLITICAL GAIN. ANY ONE WHO SUPPORTS BUHARI SUPPORTS TERRORISM INCLUDING FADA MBAKA THE VOODO PRIEST ralph These are desperate times. It is shameful that the president has not found it necessary to address the nation to update on the situation and the actions being taken. Apparently it is not serious enough for him but the western media who recognise this as a massacre are the ones taking this seriously. Its even sadder that some people on this forum who have no respect for the souls lost to this senseless murders are accusing the opposition party which stand to lose more if the situation is not controlled. Absolutely shameful that the leaders and some of the led are so petty and clueless Darlington Mudiaga Atumu Does buhari have a hotline to boko haram to which he can call if elected President to say”Hey boys, mission accompanied, i am now the President so you can stop the jihad now” I am asking this question because GMB claims to have the magic wave to stop boko haram….these people are fighting a jihad war and believe if they die then there will be 72 virgins waiting for them….boko haram can only be stopped if the locals stop providing them support and intelligence. … my own take away from this statement by APC is that APC is boko haram and boko haram is APC Kayode Even Hamass is more human than APC. Hamass has openly condemned the act by the French Boko Haram members while APC celebrating the act in Nigeria. Gold Head Jonathan is a sectional leader he doesn’t care about what happen in the north but yet he wants Votes from the people. Even Amnesty International made comments before our clueless president. na wa woooo! Defash There is no reason why GEJ should not address the nation, it might be through him or his Generals, but silence is not acceptable. Equally, APC behaves like they have hands in this which is equally unacceptable. Gold Head #Buhari/Osinbajo 2015 Reality APC is Boko haram.. Defash At this point we have to support our President even if some perceived him as clueless. We should give all necessary support & advice but no playing politics. Nigeria is at war with unknown forces “BH”. May Almighty God help Nigeria. Abdul Jonathan and PDP are killing and displacing APC stronghold in NE. By next week, PDP will start giving us reasons why election should not hold in this states. The north will never be intimidated or cajole by there antics. ELECTION WILL HOLD IN NE. Abiodun Olayinka This is where I disagree with APC. How can they be telling Jonathan to address the nation about what is happening in Baga. Has he ever addressed the nation on anything before? Missing oil money, Chibok girls, several bomb blast in Kano, Adamawa, Yobe, Kaduna, Abuja, Borno etc. Has he ever addressed us on any of those so why are they asking him to do it now. To Jonathan killings, corruption, bomb blast, kidnappings, impunity are business as usual ….another normal day in the office for him. Please leave him in peace to enjoy the few months he has left before we usher in the change we deserve and can see. Atuegbe Ehizogie Invest $3,000 and earn $1,500-$3,000 every month on forex trading.

Adedayo Akinwumi Excuse upon excuse!!! APC is sponsoring Bokoharam against my govt, who is sponsoring oil thieves who are taking away 450,000 barrels per day and C-in-C can not do anything but lamenting like crying baby. ayobamiba Buhari ,boko haram and APC are members of an evil triangle.too bad Gideon lomat DSS could get intelligence about APC cloning permanent voter’s cards, but they have never gotten any intelligence about the true sponsors of BH. Nigerians are not fools. Jonathan must go!!! Benny born Nigerians should remember what Buhari said during a radio programme with Liberty FM Hausa Service on June 2, 2013. He said, “Buhari asked the Federal Government to stop the clampdown of Boko Haram insurgents, saying Boko Haram members were being killed and their houses demolished unlike the ‘special treatment’ given to the Niger Delta militants by the Federal Government. “That was not the only time he spoke against measures against the dreaded Islamic sect. Another story was published in the June 3, 2013 edition of The PUNCH, the headline was, ‘Buhari faults crackdown on Boko Haram.’ “After the 2011 elections, Buhari was quoted by The PUNCH of May 16, 2012 to have said that, ‘God willing, by 2015, something will happen. They either conduct a free and fair election or they go a very disgraceful way. “If what happened in 2011 (alleged rigging) should again happen in 2015, by the grace of God, the dog and the baboon would all be soaked in blood.” Ajayi also stated instances where Buhari allegedly executed and jailed some Nigerians when he was the military head of state, adding that the former military leader had no regard for human rights.
