Nigerian Youths Dare APC To Disprove Involvement In BokoHaram Affairs

In a press release forwarded to Naij.com, one of Nigeria's
youth organizations condemns the opposition party, the All
Progressives Congress, for their criticism of the President
Goodluck Jonathan-led government, and urges them
to disprove their involvement in Boko Haram affairs.
The Movement for the Advancement of Youth Governance
(MAYG) describe themselves as "a positive social catalyst
targeted at rejuvenating youth consciousness for good
governance" . In their message, they say they are watching
with "amusement" the "ongoing debacle of Nigerian
opposition".
"First, their [the APC's] failed attempt to wish away
Fani Kayode's assertion, and, secondly, the veiled
acknowledgment of the rising political profile and
influence of a supposed "clueless leader" who
outwitted them in their own terrain in the "Ekiti
tsunami" as accentuated by their cries of militarization
and no militarization after their woeful loss.
"The position of the British Parliament where Labour
MP Sandra Osborne, Mr Andrew Rosindell alongside
other prominent MP's sought to examine alleged links
between APC and Boko Haram in their notices to the
UK foreign secretary, vindicates our position that these
opposition "Chief Patrons" General Buhari and Alhaji
Atiku Abubakar inter alia and indeed APC has
questions to answer with regards the escalated level of
terrorism and sectarian violence in Nigeria, especially
when taking cognizance of their irrefutable verbal
bombs (pre and post the 2011 elections) that speak
volumes of their proclivity to non-violence, peace and
statesmanship," the statement reads.
Recall that about a month ago, former Aviation Minister
Femi Fani-Kayode, known for his bold political statements
on controversial subects, has warned the APC against
publicly attacking him, threatening to expose their
"atrocities" such as "ties" with Boko Haram, "truth" about
Chibok abduction, "Islamist agenda," etc. Mr. Kayode and
the main opponent of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) became engaged in a series of mutual accusations
and threats.
In a related development, following the world's careful,
albeit short-lived, attention to the fate of Chibok girls
abducted by Boko Haram, some prominent MPs of the
United Kingdom's Labour Party prompted to examine the
alleged links between the terrorists and the APC. In their
statement, the MAYG commended the British Parliament for
"asking pertinent questions on this terrorism conspiracy".
"When the Mother of this Nation raised a lamentation
with regards the terrorism conspiracy and warned that
"there is God" (Daniel 2:28), the "cabal," in trying to
prove her wrong and state by their actions that "there
is no God," masterminded the ridicule and mockery of
the message and the messenger and orchestrated a
mega and hyped spree of bombings, forgetting that
its only "The fool that says in his heart that there's no
God" (Psalm 14:1; 53:1)," the statement further
reads.
This particual excerpt refers to the episode of Dame
Patience Jonathan's dramatic speech on missing Chibok
girls, when she was reduced to tears and shown on national
television. The video clip was used to ridicule the First Lady,
with the APC calling her outburst "the theatrical intervention
of Patience Jonathan".
The MAYG, therefore, urges the APC "to expel every arm-
twisting, diversionary, character-assassinating and
disparaging antic against those asking pertinent questions,"
and "leverage their moral burden by proving beyond all
reasonable doubt … why we should disbelieve the
insinuation that Boko Haram is the armed wing of the
opposition."
The youth organization then urges Nigerians, "especially
the youth, the British Parliament, the International
Community and the United Nations" to strongly support
President Jonathan, the National Assembly and security
forces so as to identify and neutralize sponsors of terrorism.
"Finally, in keeping with the deductions from
Corinthians 4:18 and Romans 4:17b we want to urge
all men of good will to join in Operation 20:27, a
prayer modus operandi of Job 20:27 ("The heaven
shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up
against him") and let the God that answers by fire
(speedily) be God," they state in conclusion.
