General Muhammad Buhari has blasted President Goodluck Jonathan over his attendance of a rally in Kano a day after many Nigerians were killed in a bomb blast. Buhari expressed his anger and disappointment of the President's action on his facebook page.
I'm afraid i agree totally with the General here,it didn't look good at all seeing the President at his party's political rally all smiley and in a buoyant mood just 24 hours later after families
and lives of Nigerians have been destroyed.I don't even think a National mourning period has been declared,yet we are quick to do this for foreign countries when they are hit by tragedy!
Below is the General's outburst....
It is inconceivable and utterly disrespectful that the president can afford a political rally in the wake of yesterday's tragedy. This morning, dozens of our girls were abducted in an area that is supposedly under state of emergency. All these are not enough to evoke the
appropriate empathy and restrain from the authorities concerned.
I ask just like every other Nigerian; what amount of tragedy, what amount of death toll and terrorist inhumanity can compel the government to expose and bring to justice all those who are responsible for this violence?
How many more will have to die and how many more will have to suffer before this government wakes up to its responsibility and wield the long arm of justice on any individual or group threatening the security and stability of this country?
The war against terrorism cannot be won by merely issuing statements and condolences while merrying and dancing at political rallies. It can only be won with decisive leadership and unflinching political will.
