Don't be afraid to visit any part of Nigeria, APC tells Jonathan>>>>>>>>An advice or Sarcasm???????

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has
advised President Goodluck Jonathan, as the
father of the nation and Commander-in-Chief
of the armed forces, not to be afraid to visit
any part of the country for whatever
reasons. In a statement in Lagos, Sunday, by its
Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji
Lai Mohanmed, the party reminded the
President that he had not yet visited Yobe
State, one month after the dastardly killing of
many school children in the state, to commiserate with the government and the
bereaved families. A survivor of the Yobe massacre. Courtesy:

was Tuesday, provided another opportunity
for the President to visit the state. APC said since the President's planned
return from his latest foray abroad, Tuesday,
coincided with the first month of the killings,
he should fly straight to Yobe. ''As we said in our earlier statement on
this issue on March 10, "far from being a
mere formality, such a visit will provide
great succour to the families of the victims,
reassure them and other residents of the
state that their government has not abandoned them to their fate, and also serve
as a morale booster for our gallant troops
who are battling the terrorists, against all
odds,'' it said. APC reminded the President that since the
killings, he had hosted a wasteful centennial
celebration, travelled across Nigeria to
illegally kick-start his campaign for the 2015
elections and journeyed to Namibia, Italy and
The Netherlands, in a needless junketing that belies the massive
security problems in the
country. ''Mr. President, charity begins at home.
You cannot be engaging in photo-ops abroad
when your country is burning,'' the party
said. It said President Jonathan's insensitive
junketing and law-breaking campaign rallies
across Nigeria best illustrated the old saying,
''Nero fiddling while Rome burns." APC advised President Jonathan, as the father
of the nation and Commander-in-Chief of the
Nigerian armed forces, not to be afraid to
visit any part of the country for whatever
reason. ''If however the President has any
reason why he does not want to visit the
scene of the gruesome murders to
commiserate with the bereaved families, he
should tell Nigerians who have continued to
wonder why he has been avoiding the state,'' the party said.
