The All Progressives Congress, APC, has congratulated President Goodluck Jonathan for surprise visit to Maiduguri which is considered to be the hotbed of Boko Haram’s terrorism.
Although Nigeria’s main opposition party members praised the
President for an unexpected visit to Borno state, they also expect him
to visit Chibok, Buni Yadi and Potiskum, among others. APC also asked
the President to address the shortage of military equipment as well as
the low morale of the troops.
In a statement issued in Makurdi on Friday the party said,“We have always said the President and the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces should never be afraid to visit anywhere in the country. We have always said the President should not just be the Commander-in-Chief but also the Consoler-in-Chief.
We are glad that the President has finally agreed with us. But it is necessary to remind the President that he must not play politics with human lives, and that he must stop putting Jonathan first, Jonathan second and Jonathan third, at the expense of the nation.”
It would be recalled that the parents of the 219 missing Chibok girls are still waiting for their children to come back home. While the families of the boys who were killed at the Federal Government College in Buni Yadi, Yobe State, last year, are just hoping to meet with the President. More details at Premium Times.
