Political support for terrorists

by Eze Eluchie 

Some Nigerians who had been under the illusion that the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) represented anything good for our contraption will remain eternally grateful to Mr. Lai Mohammed, the loquacious spokesperson of the ACN for giving us a clear insight into the mindset and mentality of the characters who populate the ACN, and by extension, its hybrid, the yet to be registered All Progressives Congress (APC)

The ACN which has never been on record as condemning any of the numerous murderous terrorist attacks perpetuated by terrorist organizations against innocent Nigerians suddenly finds its voice and has the temerity to declare as unconstitutional the recent proscription of terror groups by the Goodluck Jonathan Federal Government.

Perhaps the bombings and killings of innocent Nigerians by Boko Haram was constitutional and the Federal Government should have protected the right of the terror groups to continue the senseless murder of thousands of Nigerians?

Earlier in the week, another apologist for terror groups, Muhammed Buhari of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) had likewise condemned the proscription of these same terrorist organizations, preferring to equate terrorism with the quest for justice and equality.

ACN, well done. Well done CPC. Well done APC. I do not blame you guys.

Part of the blame goes to President Goodluck Jonathan who has allowed such criminality to thrive under the guise of opposition politics! There is no other place I know on earth where entities who call themselves politicians will come out in support of murderous terrorists and yet be allowed to roam about freely in society.

If Lai Mohammed and his cohorts feel so strongly about the ‘unconstitutionality’ of the proscription of terrorist organizations, they may as well travel to the bases of these groups in Bornu State (northeastern Nigeria), and try to interfere with the operations of our heroic soldiers who are giving their all to secure us all.

Nigerians, and indeed the international community, are taking note.
