More reactions trail Azazi's comment blaming violence by Boko Haram on PDP

National Secuirty Advisor to the President, General Andrew Azazi


Following all the bombings and kidnappings going on in Nigeria, it is obvious every Nigrian is worried about the state of security in this country and what the secuirty agencies are doing to put a stop to me.

The National Security advisor to the President had this to say

. “The issue of violence did not increase in Nigeria until when there was a declaration by the current President that he was going to contest. PDP got it wrong from the beginning. The party started by saying Mr. A can rule, and Mr. B cannot rule, according to PDP conventions, rules and regulations and not according to the Constitution.
That created the climate for what is happening. Is it possible that somebody was thinking that only Mr. A could win, and if he did not win, he could cause a problem in the society?

Naturally, such a comment will definitely wake up all the leaders we have and as expected, some of them have commented on Azazi's comment.

REACTIONS

JONATHAN:
I don’t believe undemocratic practices in the PDP could give rise to Boko Haram or any other groups. So probably people need to ask NSA to explain what he really meant,”

EL-RUFAI:
“Azazi merely confirmed the three things that we have known all along about the PDP and Jonathan administration, that the PDP is the root of all politically-related violence and terrorism in the country. It was the extra-judicial murder of the Boko Haram leadership during the Yar’Adua’s PDP regime that laid the foundations of our current insecurity.
“The way the party disrespects its constitution, rules and regulations as confirmed by the last sham and show of shame that it called national convention has completed the emergence of an exclusionary, undemocratic party controlled by Jonathan and the governors.
‘’Since its officers and political office holders emerged from rigged processes of imposition and intimidation, they have neither the burden of accountability nor conscience. They get into office not to serve the people but to serve their personal interests.

TSAV:
The remark credited to the NSA, Gen. Aziza, that the PDP was responsible for the insurgence of Boko Haram through their zoning arrangement could be true based on intelligence available to him, but the public utterance by the NSA is irresponsibly faulty. The only honourable option left for him is to throw in the towel and resign. He has no business in government. He even appears not interested or dedicated to his job.
“Rather than open his mouth too wide, we expected the NSA to advise the President and the Federal Government on this rather than go public, an act which is capable of not only over heating the polity but also encouraging Boko Haram and their sponsors to continue in their nefarious acts.”“The sum total of all these are political division in the country and looting of the treasury as the main occupations of the PDP apparatchiks. The cocktail of political exclusion, impunity, lack of democracy and social injustice lead to insurgency and crimes. Only God can save us from the evil the PDP has turned into.”

CHIEF OLISA METUH (PDP National Publicity Secretary):
Appointees of government should navigate only on the terrain where their authority would not be humbled by superior knowledge so as to avoid attracting undeserving and unnecessary ill-feelings for their principal.

These were some of the comments.  Personally, i want to see results not mere talk!!! So i have to ask, are you for or against Azazi's comment?
