The Shadow Cabinet Of Nigeria in a
state of utter shock and dismay hereby decry the coordinated bombings
in Yola and Kano in the past 72 hours resulting in 49 deaths and many
injured, worse still, the alleged case of 105 missing soldiers as
reported in the media.
We are aware of the recent press statement by the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, that no army officer is missing.
We beg to differ on this.
We
have reached out to a few reliable sources within the ranks of the
Nigerian military and we can confirm that things are very bad, the
Nigerian press seem to be covering up a lot of things.
Could it
be that the Nigerian Army and FG have colluded to quash this issue of
grave concern by maintaining plausible deniability, in a bid to
forestall a campaign similar to the BringBackOurGirls movement?
At
this point, we demand to know the men who make up the 175 battalion, we
demand a proof of life. Also, we demand undeniable proof that all
vehicles, a truck loaded with over 60,000 rounds of AA ammunition and
artillery pieces be accounted for.
As a matter of National emergency and urgency we charge the presidency to take the following steps:-
1.
Conduct a more thorough investigation and release an official press
statement confirming or denying such reports. Nigerians deserve to know
the truth.
2. Inform the Nigerian people on steps being
taken to ensure the safe return of our gallant and brave soldiers to
their families and loved ones, in the case that this report is
officially declared to the general public as true.
3. Employ every might and resource to ensure that the Nigerian Army #BringBackOurSoldiers ALIVE.
The
Boko Haram insurgents have been reported as the world's deadliest
terrorist organisation. Such negative and shameful development is a far
cry from President Muhammadu Buhari's promise to annihilate Boko Haram
within two months of assuming power.
The Chibok girls saga is yet
to be resolved and at the time of this release, we have an alleged case
of missing soldiers on our hands.
If this eventually turns out true, then it is a monumental embarrassment; A slap on our military might.
This cannot be handled with kid gloves.
We urge all hands to be on deck.
Our collective resolve as a people must be to shun terrorism in all it's forms.
In
all sincerity and purpose, we hope that this alarming news turns out
false, however, in a case where such is confirmed, our hearts and
prayers go out to the families of the missing soldiers who are yet
unsure of the fate of their husbands, sons, and fathers.
Moreso, we
commiserate with the families of all the victims in the recent bomb
blasts. We pray that they be granted fortitude to bear such immense
loss.
We equally encourage our soldiers out there on the battlefield not to despair.
Nigeria will rise.
