ABUJA – Senator Ahmed Zanna, representing Borno Central Senatorial District has Berated
the Federal Government in its efforts at
rescuing the abducted Chibok girls, saying
President Goodluck Jonathan has not made many efforts for the release of the girls.
Meantime, Senator Zanna has predicted that
any attempt to re-elect President Jonathan in
the 2015 election will lead Nigeria total
collapse, saying the government of the
president was the most irresponsible not only
in the history of Nigeria but Africa as a whole Zanna, who spoke late yesterday, while
addressing members of BringBackOurGirls at their daily sit-out venue in Abuja, said the way
the insurgency was going, it will not only
spread to other zones of the country but will
not end.
According to him:
“If care is not taken, this
thing will continue, it will not end in Borno,
Yobe or the Northeast, according to my own
analysis, it will continue beyond, it is just a
matter of time and if Nigerians make the
mistake of brining this government back, I am afraid, we are not going to survive in this
country, the truth must be told because what
I am seeing, maybe some of you don’t see.
“Today according to my own investigation,
an Emir is being installed in Bama, what will
be their mission again? they are trying to
attack Maiduguri and all this intelligence are
being relayed to the intelligence
headquarters, if they don’t take action, then it is their own problem, their own fault not
ours, any information we get, we relate.
“If the world has a conscience they must
come to the rescue of Nigerians, we are in a
very deep trouble, this is not only affecting
Muslims but including Christians and those
who don’t have religion.
What they are after is just to destroy Nigeria
and they are using the Boko Haram to do it,
what was Boko Haram three years ago? The Peoples Democratic Senator from Borno
State further said, “In the history if Nigeria,
we have never had a more irresponsible
government like the one we have now,
when this incident happened they played
politics first before action, i have never seen any action been taken by the government on
this girls, they have never ever taken any
action.
“I did my own investigations and whenever I
say anything, it will be the truth and nothing
but the truth, I don’t know where we are
going to place thins government in the
history of Nigeria or Africa, if they say that
the bring back our girls are from the opposition, I am not from the opposition, I
am a PDP senator, to me party is secondary, is
my party is not doing the right thing, i will
come out and say it.
“They did not take it likely, they went and
ransacked my house and brought out my
family unto the street and humiliated them
and not stopping there, they went and
arrested the boy they claimed was a high
profile Boko Haram commander in their mentors house, that is Sheriffs house but
they came out to claim that he was arrested
in my house.
I came out to and told them that they are
lying and up to today they cannot prove that
they arrested that man in my house.
“They can go to any length, their moral is
very low, so they can do anything to destroy
anybody, anybody who is ready to destroy a
society will not stop at anything like an
individual but we are ready for it, and
without sacrifice you will never mend the wrongs of others.”
Also speaking in the same vein, Senator Ali
Ndume representing Borno North said, ‘’ “I
want to tell you that we in the National
assembly and particularly i can speak for
myself and Zanna, we would do our best and
we are open to your suggestions and criticism because we believe that this you cause is
because you only want the girls back and alive.
“The National Assembly especially the
members from the North East, we are trying to
stay away because one of the things that is
now common with the government is to say
that anything that one does is opposition
sponsored, this government is so allergic to criticism that anything you do is opposition.
“Why we came here today is to join you in
pushing and making the government to bring
back our girls now and alive, we are with you.
People of Borno generally, Chibok and the
Northeast are with you in this, we are trying to
come and learn from you, we want to do something like save our state or save our
people and we will also seat until they save our
states in the Northeast because we no longer
have states.
Apart from us, there are so many internally
displaced persons from Chibok, Gwoza, Bama
and lots more who want to join your
campaign.
“Yesterday some girls were abducted from
Bama, i want to say now, that you should
include that government should bring back all
the girls and not just the Chibok girls, as the
government has not yet brought back those
girls, more are being abducted.
“As i said this government is allergic to the
truth and allergic to criticism, because if you
know somebody’s problems then you will
know how to handle him, please handle this
allergic government with care so that it dosint
distort what we are trying to achieve.
“I want to believe that this government will at
last after they do the right thing and rescue this
girls, they should thank you for that, the
government should be able to come and say,
“ok come here we have brought back your
girls, thank you very much for reminding us to bring back the girls who are also our girls.”
