•Accuses media of celebrating terror
The Federal Government has raised the alarm that the race for the 2015 general elections is increasing the tempo of terrorist attacks in the country.
Featuring earlier today during the first edition of an NTA programme tagged "Good Morning Nigeria", Information Minister Labaran Maku claimed that most of the recent bombings in Nigeria were orchestrated to achieve a political objective in the 2015 general elections.
According to him, bombs now explode whenever there is a major development in the country as a plot to discredit President Goodluck Jonathan and make Nigerians hate him.
"As we head towards 2015, more bombs are being exploded. And from the national and international intelligence services, we know as a fact that a lot of the bombings are aimed at a political objective because as we get into 2015, more bombs are being exploded and the idea is to make the president look so bad that Nigerians would hate him. Why are the tempos of bombings in the country increasing as we go into 2015?
"The security challenges we are facing, there seems to be a correlation. Each time there is a major development, the bombs would start exploding. We cannot use violence as an instrument for politics, and I am beginning to see that connection, and this is worrisome", he said.
Maku asserted that too much politicking had made the war against insurgency very difficult, saying a number of actors leading anti-terror movements today have connection with the All Progressive Congress (APC) state governments.
"Unfortunately, a number of the challenges we face in terms of terror attacks and insurgency are operating in states controlled by the opposition. But when you hear them speak on radio and television, go to CNN to attack the Federal Government and then the bombs keep exploding as we move towards 2015, you can see that there is a connectivity. If you see the way some senators and state officials speak, you would realise that clearly, unfortunately, they are seeing this thing as politics. Different levels of governments must understand the meaning of this insurgency and the political actors must speak out; our past and present leaders, especially in Northern Nigeria, must stand up because the north is a vast region.
"We in the north, the politicians, traditional rulers, public commentators and all our people must appreciate that terrorism was not brought to us from anywhere and that it grew from our own local environment. So, the great job is here and I have not seen the mobilisation here to defeat terror and I have not seen the structure to fight terror. What we hear every time is attack on the federal government. Unfortunately, insurgency and terrorism has taken roots in Nigeria and we are worried because it is a new enemy. It is not the type of enemy that we can match tanks and aeroplanes to go and defeat because insurgents are living among the people.
