THE war against insurgency in
Nigeria has sadly been reduced to President Goodluck Jonathan’s war. Those who
could command public opinion to weigh in against the spread of the Boko Haram
sect and terrorism in Northern Nigeria have ostensibly kept mute or talking in
a manner deriding President Jonathan and his government; some are even
out-rightly making encouraging remarks to create inertia of social forces that
have continued to reinforce the insurgency in the parts of the country.
This explains the growing lack of
synergy amongst the political class in the fight against insurgency in Nigeria.
Rather than pull together to defeat insurgency in the land, some sections are
directly and indirectly promoting it for political gains.
Many political actors in the current
dispensation come across as mere cartoon characters. They live under the
illusion that once President Jonathan is forced out, Boko Haram insurgents
would leave the Sambisa Forest and climb down from the Adamawa mountains and
embrace peace and reintegrate into the society, like the Niger Delta militants.
While this assumption remains to be seen and most unlikely, it is safer to
treat Boko Haram as a terrorist organisation that it is, and not as political
wing of some power mongers.
