The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Ahmadu
Adamu Muazu, has refuted a claim by the Secretary to the State
Government of Borno State, Ambassador Baba Ahmed, in which he denied the
government was advised against WAEC or NECO examinations outside
Maiduguri. Continue...
In a statement on the SSG’s interview with SaharaReporters yesterday,
he said Ambassador Ahmed’s denial of a letter of advice from the
Federal Ministry of Education advising his government not to conduct the
examination outside of Maiduguri, was “a clear acceptance of the
lopsided approach by the Government in Borno State to fight insurgency
in the area.”
He said that as an elder statesman and a stakeholder in this
administration, he wanted to restate that for Nigeria to win the fight
against terrorism in Nigeria, everyone must close ranks irrespective of
party affiliations and heed popular advice from any agency of the
government to curtail the activities of the Boko Haram sect.
“We owe our people the collective duty to protect and provide for
them and we wish to once again advise the Government and stakeholders in
Borno State and indeed all Nigerians to cooperate and stop this spate
of violence,” the statement said.
“As we celebrate 15 uninterrupted democracy in Nigeria, we wish to
call again on all Nigerians to join hands with President Goodluck
Jonathan, GCFR to continue to build the #NigeriaOfOurDream as there is
no alternative to democracy. Our mandate is transformation and
transformation is on course. Nigeria is one, nothing can divide us.”
