The minister of state for defense, Obanikoro on Wednesday stated that Tinubu and his Cronies created boko haram and as a result responsible for the acts of terrors perpetrated by the group. Tinubu the APC national leader refuted the allegations in a press release below.
"The
defence budget to fight Boko Haram and terrorism has become a conduit
pipe for the ruling party PDP just as the likes of Obanikoro continue to
use Boko Haram as a tool of blackmail against the opposition. This time
, just like it failed in the past, it will not stick. It will not
stand. It is the PDP-led government in which Obanikoro is an active and
pliable agent that is perpetrating the insurgency for pecuniary
benefits. This government has no shame. It lacks the moral authority to
point fingers at individuals or the opposition. The country is literally
on tenterhooks and all the PDP can do is lie to Nigerians in order to
cover up its failures.
“Obanikoro’s
allegation that Tinubu and his friends in the opposition created Boko
Haram is both fallacious and untenable. It is the kind of fable that can
only come out of the mouth of someone who is delusional. One whose
intoxication with power is not in doubt. This allegation is both
unreasonable and unsustainable, but not surprising coming from the
person it came from. Bola Tinubu and the APC have been on record
repeatedly condemning killings and bombings by Boko Haram and proffering
solutions to the menace.
“The
PDP is preparing the grounds for its next round of hounding opposition
leaders, militarising our cities and violating the democratic rights of
Nigerians to move freely. This is political Boko Haram of which the PDP
is the Chief Architect.
“In
Ekiti, we saw a dress rehearsal of the impunity and near brigandage of
this government and its agents. Nigerians are urged to be vigilant
before a few desperate persons steal our voices, our rights, our
liberties and freedoms.”
