Nigerians in the United States under the aegis of the Nigeria Moral Democratic Awareness Council believe President Goodluck Jonathan is treating the insurgency in the North-East region of the country with kids glove, this was contained in an email forwarded to journalists on Saturday.
The association accused him of paying lip service in the fight to rid the nation of Boko Haram and stop the senseless killings and maiming of innocent Nigerians and expatriates by insurgents in the North ahead of the 2015 general elections.
The group however praised Jonathan for the electoral reform he initiated, which manifested in the freeness and fairness in the governorship elections in Osun, Ekiti, Ondo and Edo states.
“We reviewed numerous reports from across the political spectrum at the end of year meeting held at Marriot Hotel in Washington D.C on December 30, 2014.
“We, therefore, resolved that the climate of violence, counter-violence, intimidation and sheer thuggery may not give room for any atmosphere of peaceful coexistence in our dear and sovereign country.
“The members concluded that the lack of effective prosecution of several cases of corruption, the lack of meaningful jobs and insensitivity of our government have led to several cases of insecurity in the country.
“We condemn various atrocities, murders, mayhem and intimidation that have been going on unabated on daily basis in the Northern part of Nigeria for the past few years. We find it very difficult to believe that government does not have the will to confront these problems and arrest the culprits,” it stated.
