Jonathan handed Nigeria over to Boko Haram -BSO

The Buhari Support Organisation on Tuesday said contrary to what the Peoples Democratic Party and its spokesperson, Chief Olisa Metuh, would want Nigerians to believe, it was President Jonathan who literally handed over Nigeria to Boko Haram.

The BSO was reacting to claims by the PDP spokesperson that the Jonathan administration prevented the extremist Islamic sect from taking over the nation.

Metuh had, at a press conference in Abuja, on Monday, claimed that it was the President’s tactics of fighting the insurgency that saved the nation from being overrun by the sect.

Director of the newly created Directorate of Media and Information Management Directorate of the BSO, Dr. Chidia Maduekwe, said this in Abuja.

He said, “It is the Jonathan administration that handed over Nigeria to Boko Haram when Mr. President admitted publicly his strategy of dealing with Boko Haram at its infancy was one of treating them with kid’s glove.

“This singular miss-judgment of strategy made him lose valuable time to tackle the insurgency most appropriately.  When the Chibok girl’s saga erupted, it took the government weeks to come to terms with the reality.

“Handlers of Mr. President such as Mr. Olisa Metuah, Doyin Okupe and Reuben Abati were always busy chasing shadows, calling the APC all sorts of names as the people sponsoring Boko Haram while available global intelligence pointed in the direction of Al-Qaeda with the radicalization of these home grown insurgents.”

Maduekwe also said the President’s body language emboldened terrorism when one recalls his comments after the 2010 Independence Day Bomb blast -that the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta was not responsible for the bomb blast.

The BSO noted that a Commander-in-Chief, desirous of securing of the nation and prospering the people, would have made the sect history by now, if appropriate responses were deployed at the appropriate time.
