THE MOST DECEITFUL PRESIDENCY EVER ..... Analysts believed that the Jonathan administration may be looking for a window of peace, preparatory to President Jonathan’s declaration for the nation’s presidency, days after his likely principal contender, Muhammadu Buhari made a similar declaration in Abuja. At the moment, there has been a lull in fighting in the frontline, despite reports that many towns in the North east seized by the sect, are still in their firm grip and their Islamic Caliphate. Among them are Bama, Gamboru Ngala, Kala-Balge, Gwoza and Dikwa LGAs of Borno State. “Contrary to earlier reports that the said local government areas were reclaimed by the Nigerian government and are now under the control of Nigerian troops, they are still under the control of the Boko Haram,” representative Abdurrahman Talbe told the House on Thursday. As Nigeria observed ceasefire despite the $1 billion loan approved to buy arms, neighbouring Cameroon, has been busy piling pressure on the Boko haram insurgents. In its latest statement on brushes with the insurgent, the cameroon defence ministry, said its soldiers had killed 107 insurgents this week. The “fighting of rare violence” occurred in two areas in the north on Wednesday and Thursday and also resulted in the deaths of eight soldiers, the defence ministry said in a statement read on state radio. The question most Nigerians should ask the military authorities is: Why will the military accept with gush a ceasefire by the sect at the time the country is building a West African coalition counter-force against the rag tag soldiers of Boko Haram? Why waste all the time hosting defence chiefs of the neighbouring countries and the foreign affairs ministers, when we seem to have lost the appetite to crush the enemies? Why did the officials give conflicting accounts of the terms of the ceasefire: one person said the kidnapped 219 girls would be released. Another said, their freedom was not part of the deal. What deal should be more paramount now: buying fighting holiday for our soldiers or buying freedom for the girls spending their seventh month with the Boko Haram militants? I wonder and I think you should wonder too.... POSERS FROM PMNEWS
