Elder statesman and chieftain of the PDP Alhaji Tanko Yakasai over the weekend explained why he thinks President Jonathan didn't visit Chibok. He said:
“Why I think the president’s decision not to visit the area is not bad is because we were all aware of the deteriorating level of insecurity in that part of the country. We all know it was too risky for the president to visit Chibok at that time. The president is not a soldier, soldiers are the people that should be sent there. If I was the president and such an incident occurred, the right thing for me to do was to send soldiers and to be frank, our soldiers are doing their best. We are hearing on radio and reading on newspapers how soldiers are being killed but yet they are doing their best.
I don’t know what is happening, the Minister of Defence, Ali Gussy, is a northerner, the National Security Adviser is a northerner, the Inspector General of Police is northerner, the Chief of Defence Staff is also a northerner.
“All Nigerian soldiers are under his order, if all these people cannot address the problem how would it be easy for the president to do it? Don’t forget that suicide bombers are now experts, so what will happen if they ambushed the president and something bad happened to him? Do you think his people will accept that? Except if people want the country to return to the Niger Delta militants era.”

He didn't visit chibok because he doesn't give a hoot about the chibok girls...in fact he doesn't believe the girls were kidnapped..Tb joshua singing "i am inspired by sex"
ReplyDeleteInspired by sex mp3
If you have to comment do it with your senses, go and Google for CNN documentary on their visit to chibok and tell me if you think it's advisable for him to go.
Delete"...the insecurity in the place at the time". The irony.

ReplyDeleteALHAJ TANKO SHAME ON YOU BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT HE IS A COMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE ARMY IF HE DIE ON THE PROCESS NO PROBLE ALREDY HE TAKE OATH TO DEFEND AND PROTECT NIGERIA HE FAILED PLS SHAME ON YOU AND THE PRESIDENT
ReplyDeleteLet dem bomb him sef
ReplyDeleteThere is sense in what he said. If allthe forces in place can not fight these people is it d president that ll fight them?
ReplyDelete~charles Ifeco~
Okay!
ReplyDeleteTruth is too simple... GEJ has provided the enabling platform for the indigens of the north to contain BH. But it seems they want his head. A president who gave out the country's key security positions to the north because of the prevalent security situations in the region could not have done anything better. Please stop blaming Mr president for insecurity in the north.
ReplyDeleteI think you've gat a point there. But when you talk about the security of a nation, it's the responsibility of the first citizen of Nigeria or any country to go to any length to subdue any threats threatening its populace
ReplyDeleteHe is not a soldier but he is the GRAND COMMANDER OF ALL MILITARY AND PARA MILITARY. THERE IS NO REASONABLE EXCUSE

Is his life more valueable to those soldiers? Story for the gods
ReplyDeleteLinda, u ve nt been faithful postin our comments since u travelled o ga o o
ReplyDeleteIf key people whose people are mostly affected choose to sabotage the 'war against terrorism', what do you expect the president to do? Embark on a suicide mission? If he chooses to follow these saboteurs as they truly deserve, these same people complaining will start calling him names. Let's analyse these issues the way they really are.
ReplyDeleteStory for the gods
ReplyDeleteFoolish jona loyalties, wot a pity. Jona shud stop looking for excuse and start campaigning base on his achievement.
ReplyDeleteTanko Yakasai is a very close family friend and I regard him as another father and his children as my sisters. He has already confessed to his family that GEJ gave him N250 million. He actually told the family that he had done the politics of 'poverty' since NEPU days with them Aminu Kano and now at the winter of his life, he will not die and leave his family in poverty. So please tae whatever he says with a pinch of salt because he is now a prostitute selling his wares to the highest bidder.....

ReplyDeleteMy friend shut ur buccal cavity! Stop spewing shit here! All these haramites! Come go aso rock nah! Idiot!
DeleteOga sir, that's no excuse
ReplyDeleteA child is talking
ReplyDeleteIt would have given the people of Chibok hope! The true mark of a leader is his willingness to sacrifice, but our coward President chose to hide in Aso Rock and farm his school of tort that stealing is nor corruption. Maga!!!
ReplyDeletejohna jux let some1 else take d lead
ReplyDeleteGEJ, GEJ
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm,
ReplyDeleteU don't have to be a soldier president to visit a war zone. Afterall we see US presidents visit war zone. This go a long way to show care to the affected people and appreciation to the soldiers on the frontline, thus boosting their morale.Money is not the only morale booster , but gestures like a surprise visit of the president count a lot. This PDP chieftain is certainly out of touch with the civilized world. He has also indirectly passed a vote of no confidence on our armed forces by depicting their inability to protect the president if he's to visit a risky zone. He also painted the incoherency in the Nigerian system by depicting the president as a property of one side of the country whereas he's supposed to be for all Nigerians, and not just a representative of the Niger delta. If he dies in the line of duty, it's for the nation, afterall it's part of the oath of allegiance which he took before assuming office, except if all that was mere rhetorics and ceremonies, then one would say : what a nation!
ReplyDeleteThis is mutiny,you can't go to a place in nigeria because you re not soldier,but you re send soldiers to go and die but remember you re the commander in Chief of arm forces,**EMZEALLOUS**
ReplyDeleteThere is a chance Buhari could be worse than GEJ.There is a chance Buhari could be better than GEJ.But there is no chance GEJ could be better than GEJ. If you think and you are confident Jonathan is a good president so far,please say Amen to the prayer below.
ReplyDeleteMay God run your life the way GEJ is running Nigeria!

We have seen "moses' who is ready to take the bulls by the eye. Courageous and determine to rescue the girls that's if they are still alive.Please was that an excuse. Can you imagine. If you grand dsughters were to be there and some ministers children plus including president son, will you be sitting down there and be yearining opala? So easy mr president cant go and the who wan go you're saying his a fundamentalist. chai. E se, e de eni tio fese ko se- is wickedness.

ReplyDeleteCan u imagine dis stupid baba talking nonsense out of his mouth,had it been dey ave bomb some of his family members n dis baba's children he won't be sitting down talking without sense.
ReplyDeleteArrant nonsense. Did president bush not go to iraq. Abeg abeg
ReplyDeleteThem go say aboki no get sense; Am telling you this aboki is smarter than GEJ. This is politics at it's core...only for the noble minds. Emeritus said so.
ReplyDeleteatleast somebody is making some sense... wonder when the North would stop thinking everything in this country should revolve around them
ReplyDeleteGEJ is scared of the town
ReplyDeleteHe feels its of no use wen d girls re not there
ReplyDeleteVisiting d town is not important to me,but releasing the girls.
ReplyDeleteIn the aspect of the girls,GEJ failed us
ReplyDeleteHe has lots of unanswered questions
ReplyDeleteCool story.

ReplyDeleteCan u imagine wht dis mediocre is saying? Shameless people. So d president is afraid to die and he's sending our soldiers to go and die. Heartless people. U people's time is up, Nigerians r now wiser dan u people think, we shall defend our votes come 2015 and it wil count by His grace.
ReplyDeleteMany of u here who claim to sympathize with the chibok girls and feel govt isn't doing enough to get them why not gather yourselves,prove your true love and join the civilian JTF crew to get them out?after all BH members are humans like you are also.
ReplyDeleteMany of you here think we are still in medieval era where kings lead battles abi?he should go to chibok.Please try and Google what happened the night the president of Rwanda's plane was shot down,then u will know what genocide truly is and how easy it is to trigger it in a polarized nation like Nigeria. You think chibok is an issue?wait until Jonathan is assassinated and see what it is to be a refugee.
