Chief John Nnia Nwodo, President
General of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisatioon, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has likened Nigeria to a jungle facing imminent collapse under
the current government of President Muhammadu Buhari.
According to him, Nigeria currently
does not represent the wishes and aspirations of the people.
Nwodo told Sunday Sun that the
country must be restructured, saying that the Council of State has arrogated to
itself the power of the legislature.
“Now, this is our plight; does it
mean that our security forces cannot infiltrate the Boko Haram? All over the
world, that is the essence of intelligence. Enter the organization with your
own informant within the organization”, he said.
“Does it mean they don’t? Does it
mean the $1 billion is going nowhere? Now the Council of State has arrogated to
itself the legislative organ. The other day, they budgeted $1 billion to give
to states that are prepared to give grazing colonies. This is the rule of the
jungle and the country is collapsing.”
Nwodo also bemoaned the poor
security situation of the country, which led to the recent abduction of some
girls from Dapchi, Yobe State.
“The porosity of the security in
Nigeria leaves one with a lot of disgust that I am beginning to wonder whether
there is not something behind all of this.
“Boko Haram has sought for ransom
before and they were given ransom; so soon after the children have been
kidnapped, somebody who calls herself Mama Boko Haram said she was now being
contacted.
“When you give them this money,
they will use it to re-arm themselves and they will use it, come back and kill
more of our troops. Is government part of Boko Haram?”, Nwodo quipped
rhetorically.
