Nuhu Ribadu Lambasts President Jonathan

Former Chairman of the EFCC, Nuhu Ribadu, has lambasted President Goodluck Jonathan for his refusal to grant amnesty to the Boko Haram group with the claim that they are ghosts. Ribadu warned that Jonathan be called to order before he plunges the country into another civil war.

“Nigerians will lose Nigeria to a civil war,” the anti-corruption champion warns.

Ribadu, who was the presidential candidate for the Action Congress of Nigeria in the 2011 presidential election, spoke on Liberty FM in Kaduna on Saturday.

He urged the President to grant amnesty to Boko Haram for peace to return to the country, saying he should stop claiming that the sect members were ghosts.

Ribadu said, “Jonathan was wrong to have said he will not grant amnesty to Boko Haram; he should not fail to protect the people and when people call saying we are tired, we are down; even if it means to dialogue and have an solution to the whole process, he should opt for such.

“You cannot say they are faceless because faceless people do not do things like this. Faceless people cannot be responsible and daily you see them on Facebook. Faceless people cannot be in your custody; ghosts cannot be people that are in the community, people who at a point wanted to dialogue.”
