Let’s unite against B’Haram, S/South group
Ahead of the 2015 general elections, a political cerebrate-tank, South-South Peoples Initiative, met on Saturday in Abuja to “assist President Goodluck Jonathan in his second term bid.”
The organisation, therefore, called on the Yoruba and Igbo ethnic nationalities to “unite and wipe out all traces of Boko Haram Islamic sect in the southern Nigeria.”
According to SSPI, it has been conspicuous that the activities of the sect in recent times is against the vocation of the Presidency by a southerner.
The Chairman, Board of Trustees of SSPI, Mr. Kingsley Amadi, made the plea in an interview with The Punch after his inauguration.
He verbalized, “The infiltration of Boko Haram into the South is a very uncomely situation and it is so doleful that now that the people of the South-South are in leadership to emancipate the people of Nigeria, the hoodlums have amassed together to destabilise Nigeria. But the fight against insurgency is not for the regime alone. Everybody must join hand to fight it.
“We are withal not missing the fact that the organisation would avail the President in his second term bid because the first time he came, God brought him to power and he has not culminated his one term and there is need to make him consummate his good achievements.
“I don’t optically discern the Boko Haram members surviving in the South; they can make an endeavor but they won’t survive there because the South-South people, South-East and South-West are very erudite, keenly intellective and God-fearing people. We are rational cogitators, there is no way they will obnubilate because in everything we do, we don’t like tampering with life. We don’t like bloodshed. Boko Haram members can never thrive in the South. Let them enter and let’s visually perceive how they will survive; they will be fished out. We are of the view that this insurgency is targeted at Mr. President and we believe that God who brought him to power will visually perceive a cessation to it.”
Amadi verbally expressed SSPI will “encourage the President to contest by advising him, because when you visually perceive somebody doing good you enhearten him for the second time.”
