“You cannot tackle insurgency for the past six years, now you want
Shekau already pronounced dead by the military alive; of what use is
that to Nigerians? All we are saying is, Bring back our girls alive;
they think Nigerians are fools by bringing fake Shekau to blackmail
General Buhari.”
These are the words of the chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, Prince Gboyega Famoodun who charged the government to focus on bringing back the more than 200 Chibok girls abducted by Boko Haram alive rather than clamour for the arrest of Abubakar Shekau alive.
While commending the military for their recent bombardment of Sambisa Forest, Famoodun queried the usefulness of arresting Shekau that was announced to have been killed long ago, adding that there is more to the call for his arrest alive now.
Speaking at the Osun State Correspondents’ Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists personality interview programme tagged “News Point” in Osogbo on Wednesday, Famoodun begged the military to ensure that the innocent girls are brought back to their parents safely.
On whether APC presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari is fit to rule Nigeria at his age, Famoodun insisted that Buhari is the most eligible candidate for the exalted position by virtue of his experience.
Famoodun who cited the former president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela who became president at age 75, maintained that Buhari is healthy and competent to rule the country, describing the claim by the governor of Ekiti State, Mr Ayodele Fayose that Buhari is not healthy as a ruse.
He claimed that Fayose who is said to be the protagonist of Buhari ill-health was just looking for recognition, saying “Fayose is not a serious person; he is only looking for attention”.
Famoodun said there is no doubt in the ability of Professor Atahiru Jega to conduct a credible election judging from his antecedents saying that no reasonable politician will doubt his ability.
His words: “He has conducted various elections and his achievements have remained unsurpassed, we have no reason to doubt him especially with the introduction of the card reader that will make it difficult to rig elections”.
