FOREIGN interests hell-bent on destroying the soul of not only Nigeria, but the whole of Africa, may actually be sponsoring the Boko Haram insurgents. These forces however use local collaborators who promote and employ endemic corruption as a weapon of mass destruction against the county’s moral values and social structure.
These were the submissions of an Arewa Chieftain and Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) National Legal Adviser, Mallam Aliyu Umar.
Umar spoke yesterday while reacting to the inauguration of the 40-man committee by the Northern governors to dialogue with the leaders of Boko Haram.
“The primary security challenge facing the North and Nigeria and that has been facing the North and Nigeria is corruption as the Boko Haram factor has since been hijacked by foreign desperate neo-colonial forces and their hired domestic agents who are determined to ensure the breakup of Nigeria by the year 2015 as the Americans have shamelessly predicted.
“ Corruption is the most devastating weapon of mass destruction (which) they unleashed on Nigeria for the purpose of attaining unrealisable neo-colonial objective. This is what has transformed a purely Nigerian security with Northern contents into an international issue with anti-African neo-colonial contents, which, of course, can as usual, be dismissed as a mere conspiracy theory at great expense to our lives and the soul of … Africa,”Umar declared. According to him, “corruption does not only kill humans but it also destroys the souls of nations...”
The PRP chief expressed doubts that the committee raised by the northern governors will be able to accomplish much.
“Corruption is the root cause of our failure to contain a purely locally based security crisis, which was transformed into a national challenge by those who ought to have reasonably and decisively attended to it.”
According to him, “the first step that must be taken in order to begin the effort of resolving the security challenges emanating from the North of Nigeria is to understand the nature of the challenges as they stand today as against how they initially stood”, noting that, “as things stand now, the so-called Boko Haram is not the primary security challenge.”
Umar stressed further that the local contents of the insecurity challenge can easily be tackled through a return to the fast-disappearing moral values of the Nigerian society using traditional rulers, religious leaders and community leaders and leaning heavily on the extended family, “which is the foundation of Africa’s family system.”
