This interview of Hon. Farouk Adamu Aliyu is a most important document in Nigeria’s developing history. Mr. Aliyu went to the United States to seek the assistance and cooperation of the Obama administration in the arrest of Nigeria’s President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. He defended the reasons why he and many Nigerians, myself included believe the accidental President of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan should be swiftly arrested for crimes against humanity, support and leadership of terrorism and gross abuse of office. Mr. Aliyu formally presented the submission to the United States government who have the capacity to arrest Goodluck Jonathan, protected by immunity in Nigeria. He expressed that it will be insincere and reckless of the US and international community to continue to ignore the direct leadership, affiliations and coordination of terror by the Nigerian President on the country’s 167 million people. It is noted that a top US think-tank, STRATFOR, has informed that Goodluck Jonathan is a Patron of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, MEND terrorist organization responsible for multiple events of terror including oil installation bombings and the 2010 Abuja independence day bombing that left over eight Nigerians dead... Another top US intelligence think-tank, the Council of Foreign Relations in a report[PDF] by Robert I. Rotberg, “THE CENTER FOR PREVENTIVE ACTION: Nigeria Elections and Continuing Challenges,” described Nigeria’s president as notably “compromised,” and his wife, Patience Jonathan as “indicted by the Economic Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC,” a notably “cruel” being for “ordering the fiancée of a prominent Ijaw leader locked-up and turning down all pleas to have her released;” and described her as the “greediest Bayelsa person;” referencing International Herald Tribune of September 11, 2006 and the Vanguard (Lagos), March 31, 2006. Most recently, the Chief of Army Staff of Nigeria for the past four years, General Azubuike Ihejirika was accused of being a top sponsor of Boko Haram terror organization by a chief negotiator hired by Nigeria. These serious allegations further implicate Nigerias President in terror and treason. Hon Aliyu was a northern Nigerian who sought a court injunction against his fellow northerner, late President Umar Yar’Adua in favor of the assumption of the Presidential role for then disenfranchised deputy President Goodluck Jonathan.

Farouk Adamu Aliyu, former Member, Nigeria House of Representatives. SAHARA REPORTERS: HOW DO YOU THINK THE GOVERNMENT IS HANDLING THE TERRORIST GROUP SO FAR Hon. Aliyu: Very badly because there are two Boko Harams- the visible Boko Haram led by Shekau, and invisible Boko Haram led by President Jonathan Goodluck. Which means the government can never do anything that will contain the Boko Haram absolutely. SAHARA REPORTERS: WHY DID YOU SAY THE GOVERNMENT IS ALSO BOKO HARAM Hon. Aliyu: You remember very well the President said himself there are Boko Haram members in his cabinet and we are yet to see who they are. He has not handed them over to the police and as I speak to you now, there is not one person that is being prosecuted. Not one high-up level person that is probably in jail for Boko Haram. And as I speak to you today, people are being killed in Kano where I live. In Maiduguri, Yola, Yobe, in all these states and other towns in the Northern part of the country. And the government is doing nothing. I was in Maiduguri for six weeks and I’ve seen the conditions of our soldiers there. You know the government is not serious in tackling Boko Haram and the menace will not go. SAHARA REPORTERS: I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THE MISSING GIRLS. IT’S BEING LIKE FOUR MONTHS NOW; DO YOU THINK THAT THEY ARE DOING ANYTHING AT ALLHon. Aliyu: Well, I think yes they are talking, making noise. But doing things underground I don’t think so. As I speak to you as well, not one military officer is in Sambisa forest. They have never ever been there. Never! They have never been to the forest where the Boko Haram members are. The government knows. So how do they tackle it And you see, the unfortunate part of it is that, the Nigerian military will rather go on the streets and kill you and I. Last week in Zaria, they went and kill El-Zakzaky and his three children; or on the road, on the street or in Lagos bus drivers and so on in other parts of the country. Take money from public, muscling people but to go to Sambisa and fight, they will not because the leader of Boko Haram, the invisible who is Jonathan Goodluck , invisible Boko Haram leader will not give them funds, necessary ammunitions to go and work or to go and fight. SAHARA REPORTERS: HE (PRESIDENT JONATHAN) RECENTLY ASKED FOR ANOTHER $1 BILLION TO FIGHT BOKO HARAM. DO YOU THINK THAT HE IS NOT USING THE MONEY FOR WHAT HE CLAIMS THAT HE WILL USE THE MONEY FOR OR DO YOU THINK THAT HE JUST DID NOT GIVE THEM ORDER TO GO AFTER THE GIRLSHon. Aliyu: Well, they have already appropriated more than a trillion naira between 2009 to date to fight Boko Haram. But what are they doing They are just having parties, coming to Washington with 78 people to come and spend peoples’ money. Or what are they doing again Maybe the first lady going on jamboree; what are they doing again Celebration of Nigeria’s 100 years. What are they doing again Making sure President acquires another aircraft. What are they doing again $20 billion that were said to have been missing, instead of the President to ask for where the money is he sacked Sanusi. What he did Sacked the Managing Director of NNPC; What he did You know this is the only country that in four years, you had four MD’s of NNPC but the Minister of Petroleum has never been cautioned. You know this kind of things so this is where the money is going to. Now the President is looking for another one billion to steal the way they have been stealing the country. If the President is serious, he should ask for the whereabouts of the 20 billion and probably take from that 20 billion and use whatever he wants to do for the military but he is not going to do that because he is not serious. He doesn’t want peace in this country that is why I am in Washington to solicit the assistance and cooperation of President Obama to arrest President Jonathan Goodluck, to ensure he doesn’t go back to Nigeria. Because if the American government could be after Mugabe, Bashir of Sudan, with even arrest warrants on him, there are no more people killed in Sudan than in Nigeria. So if the United State Government is serious, if the international community is serious, the person to be arrested is here in Washington. They should arrest him; we shall provide evidence against Jonathan Goodluck with blood in his hands. The country we emulate, United States, you could see how they deploy their resources to bring in two American citizens from Liberia that were affected by Ebola. Two! As I speak to you now, probably 100 Nigerians are killed and nothing is happening. And you mean this man will be walking streets of the greatest democracy in the world That means American government is not serious if they allow him to go back. SAHARA REPORTERS: I’M GLAD YOU TALKED ABOUT THE WASHINGTON SUMMIT GOING ON. BECAUSE I WAS JUST TO ASK YOU ABOUT THAT. FIRST OF ALL, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE WHOLE IDEA OF INVITING AFRICAN LEADERS HERE AND SECOND OF ALL, DO YOU THINK ANYTHING GOOD CAN COME OUT OF THIS FOR REGULAR NIGERIANS ON THE STREETHon. Aliyu: The American government is doing it for its own interest just like the Chinese also did this kind of conference in their own interest. The African leaders and Chinese leaders,- is to foster economic gains of these countries. But whether African leaders you know will also seek for an opportunity to enhance Africans that is another thing. Some African countries will do but certainly the leadership of Nigeria will not do anything to ensure you and I ordinary Nigerians benefit from this kind of jamboree. SAHARA REPORTERS: YOU HAVE BEEN SAYING NIGERIA HAS THE BIGGEST ECONOMY IN AFRICA AND IT’S BEEN SOME MONTHS NOW WE ARE NOT SEEING THE EFFECT OF THAT YET SO I’M JUST WONDERING YOUR VIEW ABOUT HOW THEY’VE BEEN SAYING NIGERIA IS THE BIGGEST ECONOMY NOW AND ALSO THE FACT THAT YOU ARE SAYING THAT COMING HERE DOESN’T RELAY /TRANSLATE INTO ANYTHING GOOD FOR COMMON NIGERIANS.Hon. Aliyu: You know the economic indices of Nigeria are different from reality. The economic indices, inflation, whatever inflation figure or any economic indices Okonjo Iweala tells you or President Jonathan tells you are total lie because they don’t even know what they are doing. Economic indices should show the number of jobs created in a month; the number of people that can feed, the numbers of children that can go to school. As I speak to you now, doctors in Nigeria are on stri
