According to Punch Newspaper reports, President Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday said Nigerians’ penchant for politicising issues was responsible for the violent activities of the Boko Haram sect. He also said his administration had had a difficult time containing the sect because it was not getting enough cooperation from the people.
In his words "Everything is politicised; for example, when the Americans were attacked during 911, every American was together with the government of the day, yet they have political parties"
He said his administration was unprepared to handle suicide bombing and kidnapping, noting that unlike armed robbery, they were novel security challenges.
Boko Haram introduced suicide bombing in Nigeria when a suspected member of the group detonated explosives in a car he drove into the headquarters of the Nigeria Police Force in Abuja on June 16, 2011.
If my President can come out and say this, then we are in trouble in this country.
