Atiku Reveals How Boko Haram Was Formed; Speaks On Nnamdi Kanu, Dasuki
Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has said Boko Haram was formed by youths abandoned by politicians.
The PDP presidential candidate stated this in a chat with The Africa Report while speaking on how he’ll counter the sect.
“I happen to know how Boko Haram came into being. They were offshoots of political thuggery. Politicians used those boys in Boko Haram to win elections and then abandoned them and then there were no jobs for them.
“It was the same thing with the Niger Delta. In 1998, I saw it myself and I warned people.
“It’s going to be a multifaceted approach. It will involve negotiations. It will involve military action”, he said.
On the incessant herders/farmers clashes and cattle-rustling, Atiku declared that grazing reserves was the solution.
“In each province in the north, we used to have a grazing reserve. During the season, the cattle are in the reserves.
“When it is off-season when farmers would have cultivated all their crops, then the cattle move out to the areas where the farmers have cultivated, allowing the grass in the grazing reserves to grow. These grazing reserves have been abandoned over the years.
On the fate of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu and former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, Atiku noted that the rule of law must be respected.
His words: “I don’t want to be individualistic on this issue. I reject any illegal detention, any detention that is not based on rule of law and order.
“Dasuki is being detained illegally. It is only a court that will say whether he is guilty or not.”
On calls for secession by some South-East, Atiku hinted on “a conference to discuss reconstruction”
“I don’t think there is any part of this country that wants to leave this country. All they want is fairness, equity and justice”, he added.

IPOB don’t need anybody to speak for them, all we need is to give us a date for referendum to determine whether we want to leave Nigeria or not. No need of beating around the corner. all hail Biafra. Biafra we stand, we’re almost there. Iseeeeeee.

Can everyone see there is no clue of governance in this man call Atiku, nothing new all their idea is old old old why allowing cattle moving out after farmers might have finish harvesting their crops? If those cattle owners can’t afford to build ranches for their own personal business then let them stop such business which can’t allow them to think of the wellbeing of their cattle and the herdsman because this is not national business but personal and private business.
People will regret bringing this Atiku in power eventually if he wins; regarding this very Interview Atiku has proven to the general public that he has no clue about leadership transformation nothing than old ways of doing things. Those pushing him is just doing it for their selfish interest to gain appointment when he finally win the race next year same set of people join their might to bring Bihari into power Including Atiku and well known that Buhari can’t perform any magic but they bring him because they wanted Jonathan to go by fire by force.
Imagine same people are now pushing for Atiku same way they brought Buhari shame to you all those that call them self’s statesmen and political elite who can’t foresee what tomorrow might be or what will happen tomorrow either upon all their qualifications but fail woefully in time of deep reasoning and research about tomorrow and wellbeing of their people.
But tomorrow shall tell when crying will start and erupt again like volcano all over the country again that we don’t want Atiku anymore but our beloved God saint from Heaven Kwankwaso or El-Rufai because only Hausa Fulani Nigeria’s believed and trust that can send their own brother’s away from Aso rock another tribe don’t possess such weight and character, but only them because Nigeria’s are programmed set of people that will never see the light of the day or progress in times of competing with other developed countries until total disintegration is done and only then you can have your talent exhibit to the entire world and your worth as human will be known local and international.
Because Hausa Fulani are destine to have automatic presidential ticket in every major party in Nigeria nothing can be done and your dream will never see the light of the day always struggle to survive until our last day only those politicians with YES WE AGREE will always survive because their NO IS YES AND THERE YES IS NO while I cry because many people in Nigeria be you young and old know about this calamity but they rather kept mute than to speak up.

Atiku must be out of his senses to think that the Fulani can use him to lure Nnamdi Kun back to Nigeria and kill him under the supervision of British. He is also not paying attention to what Biafrans are saying. We have crossed that line, no going back to Nigeria. Viva Biafra!

Atiku is a fraudster. Atiku is a Fulani jihadist and has nothing to offer. He thinks he’s smart and avoided talking about Kanu. Evil people

See a new word #Reconstruction… Hahaha Throw away crocodile(Buhari), and bring Alligator (Atiku)… Atiku will b worst than Buhari. He will further Fulani political stability n dominance. Those who are campaigning for thz man will regret removing buhari as those who removed GEJ r crying. Atiku will do anything to grab power but how he will end is still very much unclear.
The solution is #BiafeanRefferendum and #Election Boycott
