President
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is not winning the war against Boko Haram. An
indication of his fears were confirmed with his recent visit to his kids
earlier relocated from the British International School, Lekki, Lagos
to London last month. Close aides of the President announced he was
going to the United Kingdom without details on his mission last week.
Close
sources hinted his recent visit to the United Kingdom was to see his
children who he might not see in the next few months of the
electioneering campaign. On his visits were some of his close relations
to ensure a family re-union.
Prior
to the relocation of the children from the British School, his aides
had bought a befitting house in upscale London to accommodate the family
and their aides, following threats and hints that Boko Haram were on
their trails. Observers believed the move by the President preclude the
notion that Nigeria is safe and confirms the fears in some quarters that
a wholistic approach is being applied to tame insurgency.
If
that be the case where lies our hope and confidence that Nigeria is
winning the war against Boko Haram Nigeria. Why should a Nigerian
soldier put his life on the line when the President has relocated his
own immediate family? Who wants to be a sacrificial lamb? These and more
probing questions are on the lips of Nigerians who expressed dismay at
the development.
As at today, there is no statement credited to the Presidency or his aides on his mission to the United Kingdom.
