As significant as the "recapture" of Sambisa forest is (I'm struggling to believe it, honestly), it is insensitive to be celebrating it while the people of Southern Kaduna are being slaughtered and Fulani herdsmen invade Enugu. If you are not aware, a "fleeing" Boko Haram member was captured in Lagos (My overactive mind wonders if he is the only one that got to Lagos).
This is how ethnic cleansing started in Rwanda and everyone looked the other way. President Buhari, what is happening in Southern Kaduna? Can they sleep with their eyes closed? Why are you taking on Boko Haram, if insurgency is supposed to be a "state affair", though the military and para military are controlled by the Federal Government? Why is it okay for Jonathan to have been vilified for the abduction of Chibok girls? If we follow Femi Adesina's warped logic, it was a state affair and the buck should have stopped on the Borno State Government's table. Posterity will judge you and everyone supporting you harshly if this ethnic cleansing continues. I have (minus) 100% confidence in El-Rufai's will to address this matter. This is a good one to declare a state of emergency and tackle the matter decisively.
I thought the APC would make the State Police idea happen. I remember it being one of their campaign promises. Femi Adesina's defense of Buhari's silence will only make sense if the we introduce state policing.
Dear International Community, a genocide is happening in Southern Kaduna. Fulani herdsmen have invaded Enugu. It's time to mount pressure on this government to deal DECISIVELY with the issue. Dear activists, it's time to set up online and offline petitions against this government. The silence is criminal. The best time to act was yesterday, today is the second best.
Good morning.
