A Snippet from PENtagon There is seeming tactical silence or rather tactical maneuver from a section of the country over recent revelations by Australian Boko Haram negotiator, Dr Stephen Davis, fingering the former governor of Borno State, Ali Modu Sheriff, and former Chief of Defense Staff General Ihejirika (rtd) as sponsors of Boko Haram. Let me make it clear that still I do not believe the Federal Government has a hand in Boko Haram. As always, I will only accuse government of lack of commitment. Let me also restate my belief that the military (past or present) dont aid Boko Haram. I will only accuse them of corruption and lack of commitment. Again, let me reemphasize that politicians (Northern or Southern) dont also support Boko Haram. Borno politicians only supported them when they were a pacifist religious movement before transmuting to well-armed terrorist organisation — but certainly not today. But why is a section of the country silent over the Aussies exposé? Obviously because the man did not implicate General Buhari or any opposition politician. Femi Fani-Kayode would have had a field day, pouring invectives, saying the revelations have further confirmed his earlier avowal. Asari Dokubu would have held press conference, calling for Buharis head. Olisa Metuh would have sighed and said this confirmed APC is Janjaweed party. Marilyn Orga would cap it up with a freshly-made intelligence report. And if Modu Sherriff is still in APC, I am sure former FCT minister, Nasir el-Rufai wouldnt gleefully share the story to his large social media audience. He will keep mum, or tactically maneuver. .................................................................................................... *Keep a date with PENtagon on Thursday for the full story.
