Governor of Lagos State
and leader of Action
Congress of Nigeria,
ACN, Asiwaju Bola
Tinubu, weekend,
cautioned the Federal
Government against
offering blanket
amnesty to members of
Islamist sect, Boko
Haram.
He also declared
President Goodluck
Jonathan’s
administration a
failure.
Tinubu, who spoke in
Ado-Ekiti during a
condolence visit to
Governor Kayode
Fayemi of Ekiti State
over the death of his
Deputy, Mrs Funmilayo
Olayinka, said amnesty
should only be offered
to groups that were
fighting for justice.
He said: “Amnesty must
bring about justice
and should be selective.
It must not be a blanket
approach. Those venting
anger on Nigeria
because there is no
justice in the system
should be offered
amnesty.
“But those causing
trouble under another
guise, should be
prosecuted and sent to
jail. No one religion
can eliminate the other
in Nigeria. Nigeria is
a secular state.
“The Constitution
recognises us as people
and not as Muslims or
Christians. So we should
be able to apply a
holistic approach to
settle our problems.”
Tinubu said: “It is
disheartening for
Nigeria to be clueless
after its 100th year of
existence and 53rd year
of independence. This
has shown that the
present government has
nothing to offer
Nigerians.
“President Jonathan
and Peoples’ Democratic
Party, PDP, have failed
in terms of security.
“Security is the engine
room of industrial
development. No
country would partner
with you when you are
not secured.”
