To end the current violent insurgency in the country, all hands must be on deck, so says the Kwara State Governor, Dr. Abdulfatah Ahmed who made the charge while receiving a group of women protesting the kidnap of secondary school girls in Borno State at Government House, Ilorin on Tuesday.
Dr Ahmed described the insurgents’ activities as a test of Nigerians’ faith in the country and stressed everyone join hands with the government and security agencies to end the menace.
“The success of the current pursuit of peace by security agencies will require every hand to be on deck. Information is very important. We must see ourselves as each others keepers to live in peace”, he said.
The Governor promised to deliver the message of the women to President Jonathan with an expectation that the presidency will give Nigerians confidence that the prevailing security challenges would be brought under control.
The Women wing of the Nasrul-lahi of Nigeria NASFAT in Kwara State who staged the peaceful protest against the abduction of over 200 female students of Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State and other acts of violence by insurgents in parts of the country, said their heart bleeds for the country.
Their leader, Hajia Ummuani Abdulrahaman said the activities of insurgents, particularly the bomb blast at Nyanya, Abuja and the abduction of the female students called for concern by all stakeholders in the country, irrespective of religious and political differences.
Hajia AbdulRahaman who presented a letter of protest to Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed for transmission to President Goodluck Jonathan said “We know what it takes to lose a pregnancy talkless of a child. We want these children to be recovered because they are our futures. They are what we depend on as mothers”, she pleaded.
The NASFAT women leader who said as mothers the women felt the agonies of the mothers of the abduction girls, noted that the activities of the insurgents have gone beyond religious affiliations, adding that people of all religious faiths must come together to tackle the slaugh of insurgents, especially the violence against women in different forms.
Boko Haram has threatned to kill parents of the abducted students oooo. Story unfolding.

Finally Muslims are speaking out against boko haram. Good!
ReplyDeleteYes,cos they are killing everybody now. Formerly they targeted churches n easterners but now they hv turned against the ppl that created them.
DeleteIf you've the correct statistics,you ll know that uncountable Muslims have died from the attacks,likewise Christians & others.
DeleteThis is certainly not a religious war BUT pure politics, though the myopic ones still believe its for a religious course.
People should try & focus on how to live peacefully amongst themselves, instead of always trying to put up my religion is better than yours attitude,there is too much hate in peoples hearts(can't deal).
Religion has brainwashed a lot of Nigerians & all atrocities perpetrated are from two popular ones- christainity & Islam not traditional or atheism.
Nigeria ll continue to go round in circle, till we learn to be our brother's keeper & wish for others what we wish for ourselves.
I am aware that muslims have also been killed and I'm also aware that BH is more political than religious. My point is that now muslims are speaking out against the violence. My comment had no malice or hate to it, rather it was a commendation.
DeleteLetter of protest? Never heard of that before,atleast it is good they are lending their voice,we are waiting for the sultan of sokoto to do his own.
ReplyDeleteGod heal my land, but which desk is he taking abt
ReplyDeleteSaraki houseboy
ReplyDeletena real Saraki houseboy.
ReplyDeleteNo, make una leave every thing for Mr President. Mtcheeew.
ReplyDeleteIs this a real protest, or some paid women on fashion parade, doing a political show?. If a mother is truly pained at the abduction of some young girls who probably would be turned to sex slaves, would she remember to wear jewellery and then pose for photo shots with the governor?, Do they look like really troubled women/mothers?
