Xclusive: President Jonathan’s Declaration Of Emergency Rule [OFFICIAL STATEMENT]

Dear compatriots,<br />
<br />
1.    It has become necessary for me to address you on the recent spate 
of terrorist activities and protracted security challenges in some parts
 of the country, particularly in Borno, Yobe, Adamawa, Gombe, Bauchi, 
Kano, Plateau and most recently Bayelsa, Taraba, Benue and Nasarawa 
states.  These unfortunate events have led to needless loss of lives and
 property of many innocent Nigerians including members of our security 
forces.<br />
<br />
2.   The recent killing of security operatives by a cult group in 
Nasarawa state is particularly condemnable. I have directed that no 
effort or expense be spared in identifying and bringing to justice all 
those who had a hand in the killing of the operatives.<br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5438533803477296299" name="more"></a><br />
<br />
3.   The activities of insurgents and terrorists have been 
reprehensible, causing fear among our citizens and a near-breakdown of 
law and order in parts of the country, especially the North. We have 
taken robust steps to unravel and address the root causes of these 
crises, but it would appear that there is a systematic effort by 
insurgents and terrorists to destabilize the Nigerian state and test our
 collective resolve.<br />
<br />
4.  Since I returned to the country after cutting short my visit to 
South Africa and aborting a planned state visit to Namibia, I have 
received detailed briefings from our security agencies. These briefings 
indicate that what we are facing is not just militancy or criminality, 
but a rebellion and insurgency by terrorist groups which pose a very 
serious threat to national unity and territorial integrity. Already, 
some northern parts of Borno state have been taken over by groups whose 
allegiance is to different flags and ideologies.<br />
<br />
5.   These terrorists and insurgents seem determined to establish 
control and authority over parts of our beloved nation and to 
progressively overwhelm the rest of the country. In many places, they 
have destroyed the Nigerian flag and other symbols of state authority 
and in their place, hoisted strange flags suggesting the exercise of 
alternative sovereignty.<br />
<br />
6.  They have attacked government buildings and facilities. They have 
murdered innocent citizens and state officials. They have set houses 
ablaze, and taken women and children as hostages. These actions amount 
to a declaration of war and a deliberate attempt to undermine the 
authority of the Nigerian state and threaten her territorial integrity. 
As a responsible government, we will not tolerate this.<br />
<br />
7.  Previously, we adopted a multi-track approach to the resolution of 
this problem through actions which included persuasion, dialogue and 
widespread consultation with the political, religious and community 
leaders in the affected states.<br />
<br />
8.  We exercised restraint to allow for all efforts by both State 
Governors and well-meaning Nigerians to stop the repeated cases of 
mindless violence.<br />
<br />
9.  Yet, the insurgents and terrorists seek to prevent government from 
fulfilling its constitutional obligations to the people as they pursue 
their fanatical agenda of mayhem, mass murder, division and separatism.<br />
<br />
10. While the efforts at persuasion and dialogue will continue, let me 
reiterate that we have a sacred duty to ensure the security and 
well-being of all our people and protect the sovereign integrity of our 
country. Therefore, we shall, on no account, shy away from doing 
whatever becomes necessary to provide the fullest possible security for 
the citizens of this country in any part of the country they choose to 
reside.<br />
<br />
11. We have a duty to stand firm against those who threaten the 
sovereign integrity of the Nigerian state. Our will is strong, because 
our faith lies in the indivisibility of Nigeria.<br />
<br />
12. Following recent developments in the affected states, it has become 
necessary for Government to take extraordinary measures to restore 
normalcy. After wide consultations, and in exercise of the powers 
conferred on me by the provisions of Section 305, sub-section 1 of the 
Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended, I 
hereby declare a State of Emergency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states.<br />
<br />
13. Accordingly, the Chief of Defence Staff has been directed to 
immediately deploy more troops to these states for more effective 
internal security operations. The troops and other security agencies 
involved in these operations have orders to take all necessary action, 
within the ambit of their rules of engagement, to put an end to the 
impunity of insurgents and terrorists.<br />
<br />
14. This will include the authority to arrest and detain suspects, the 
taking of possession and control of any building or structure used for 
terrorist purposes, the lock-down of any area of terrorist operation, 
the conduct of searches, and the apprehension of persons in illegal 
possession of weapons.<br />
<br />
15. The details of this Proclamation will be transmitted to the National
 Assembly in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution. But in 
the meantime, let me make it clear that within the purview of this 
Proclamation, the Governors and other political office holders in the 
affected states will continue to discharge their constitutional 
responsibilities.<br />
<br />
16. I urge the political leadership in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states to
 co-operate maximally with the Armed Forces and the Police to ensure 
that the exercise succeeds. We call on the citizenry to co-operate with 
our security agencies to ensure a return to normalcy within the shortest
 possible time.<br />
<br />
17. I am again approaching our neighbouring countries, through 
diplomatic channels, as done in the recent past, for their co-operation 
in apprehending any terrorist elements that may escape across the 
border.<br />
<br />
18. Nigerians are peace-loving people; these sad events perpetrated by 
those who do not wish our nation well have not changed the essential 
character of our people.<br />
<br />
19. I want to reassure you all that those who are directly or indirectly
 encouraging any form of rebellion against the Nigerian state, and their
 collaborators; those insurgents and terrorists who take delight in 
killing our security operatives, whoever they may be, wherever they may 
go, we will hunt them down, we will fish them out, and we will bring 
them to justice. No matter what it takes, we will win this war against 
terror.<br />
<br />
20. I am convinced that with your support and prayers, we shall overcome
 these challenges and together, we will restore every part of our 
country to the path of peace, growth and development.<br />
<br />
Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

A can of worms is about to be let loose by the highly hunted governor of
 Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi. He said the time is finally at hand for 
him to expose all  the Abuja-based politicians who are after the 
resources of the State instead of the welfare of all Nigerians.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
He said, “I will speak to the state... When I speak to the state, you

Gov Amaechi who said because of the many troubles they had faced him 
with he won't run for any other political office in 2015, added that the
 people of Rivers State and Nigerians would lose their respect for his 
critics by the time he opened up on their evil deeds.<br />
<br />
“I am not running for any other position that they would say ‘you must 
manage information so that people can trust you’. Nobody realises how 
much effort we have put in place for people to walk on the streets.<br />
<br />
“Nobody realises how much money we have put in place to make people walk
 on the streets. All they are interested in is how they would bring down
 those efforts. So, as men of God, you must stand for the truth and 
preach the truth.”<br />

Xclusive: Jonathan To Buhari -- Stop The Boko Haram

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTeE7YV1PAfZEmb0Ki_FDCtuxx8rqpt2yWpU-YM-KmtDV-SQQik_vqPIHY" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTeE7YV1PAfZEmb0Ki_FDCtuxx8rqpt2yWpU-YM-KmtDV-SQQik_vqPIHY" /></a></div>
<br />
President Goodluck Jonathan, Tuesday, sent a strong message to former Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari, pleading with him to spearhead the campaign to persuade members of the Boko Haram sect to accept dialogue, as a means of ending the orgy of violence in the North.

Similarly, Jonathan asked Buhari to emulate the role he ( Jonathan) played by going to meet militants in their vast hideouts in the Niger Delta to plead with them to lay down their arms and accept the general amnesty granted by the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua on June 25, 2009.<br />
<br />
Jonathan said he expected Buhari to lead the way in persuading the Boko Haram insurgents in the North to stop bombings and enter into dialogue with the Federal Government with a view to ending the violence in the region, which is threatening to disrupt the economy of the region and Nigeria.

The President, who sent the message to Buhari through his Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, accused the former head of state of making false allegations against him during his interview in London last week.

What Buhari told BBC in London

During the interview with the BBC, Buhari had said that the Federal Government should be held responsible for the worsening state of insecurity in Nigeria, accusing the leadership of not taking steps to halt the slide, which has claimed many lives and property in the region.

Buhari said: “The problem of terrorism is not confined to the North alone. Insecurity generally should be blamed on the Federal Government.

“The world is very much concerned about two things — the issue of security and economic wellbeing of a nation. Security is number one. A nation can only be economically viable if there is security.<br />
<br />
But how did all these crises start? How did the crises begin and assume this dimension?

“Until now, everyday, they abduct people and receive ransoms. How was the problem reduced? How did it start? What method was employed to convince them to mellow down?

“Similarly, what we should look at is, how did the Boko Haram start? We know all these. Security is the responsibility of the government.

“It is the responsibility of the Federal Government to know how this thing started and how to go about it.”

Jonathan takes on Buhari

But Okupe asked Nigerians to demand from Buhari what he had done as a leader in the North and a former head of state to halt the attacks by the sect.

He said: “Nigerians should ask him (Buhari) that as a former Head of state and as someone who wants to be president again, what he has  done to end this insurgence in the country.

“Or is it when he becomes President, he will stop the insurgence? No, it does not work that way. He should emulate President Jonathan who went to the creeks of the Niger Delta canvassing peace and dialogue with the militants of the Niger Delta.<br />
<br />
“Everybody knows that it was General Buhari, who vowed to make Nigeria ungovernable for President Jonathan if he loses the last presidential election. It was in Minna, that he said that once votes are countered and he loses that people should go for blood. He said in Hausa language. General Buhari is the person who sowed the wind that the nation is now reaping in whirlwind.

“He is not in any position to apportion blames on the issue of violence in the North or in Nigeria in general. He is a protagonist of violence. The only position he sees for not being the President is to call for violence. This government has tried as much as possible to contain some of Buhari’s unguarded statements. I don’t think anybody in Nigeria will take Buhari very serious when he makes such comments.<br />
<br />
“If there is anybody to blame, General Buhari comes number one on that list. Have you ever seen General Buhari visit BornoState or condemn the acts of the Boko Haram or condole  whether Christians or Muslims that have been killed?

“A man who can traverse the whole length and breadth of Nigeria, yet he cannot use that clout that he has and get leaders together to put an end to the insurgence in the country. And yet he finds it comfortable to blame other people. What has he done as a former Head of State to help Nigeria and Nigerians stop the militancy in the North or in other parts of the country?”
