APC tells North-East indigenes in Jonathan’s government to resign

Political office holders from the Northeast
geo-political zone in President Goodluck
Jonathan’s government have been asked to
resign with immediate effect for their inability
to influence the government in stopping the
killing of their people in the region.
This call was made yesterday at a press
conference addressed by the National Vice
Chairman, Northeast of the All Progressives
Congress, APC, Babachir David Lawal in
Abuja.
Lawal said his party was of the belief that
the federal government has abandoned the
Northeast and its people, not caring for its
safety and security.
He accused President Jonathan of
concentrating on his re-election at the
expense of the people of the Northeast who
are being killed on a daily basis by Boko
Haram insurgents.
He described the current situation as trying
times for the region, calling on all the good
sons and daughters from the Northeast to
stand up for the region, no matter their
current status in the society, saying “For if
we continue to remain silent, who will speak
for our people?
“Our farmlands, schools and all forms of
commercial activities have been abandoned,
thus rendering our future bleak. Our sons are
being massacred daily while our daughters
are taken into slavery or married off to
depraved, uneducated and evil people who
place no value on life.
