Claim of Arrested Terrorists - President Goodluck Jonathan Not Sincere The statement made on new year day of 1st January 2013 by President Goodluck Jonathan claiming and informing that his government had arrested “Most terrorists in the country” must be consigned to the dust bin of nuisance value as one of the ‘off the beat’ statements he was known for. It becomes highly offensive and suspicious for the president relegating his office to that of either that of the National Security Adviser and or Minister of Information insensitively announcing an highly sensitive security matter during a Church service. Unfortunately there was nothing there and then provided as proof by the President to back up his highly sentimental claim which was capable further inflaming religious tension among the faith. One would have expected the claim backed up with facts and figure at any rate. As if to make mockery of the President, on Tuesday 2nd January just a day after the reckless statement was made a soldier and 13 others were reportedly killed in Maiduguri Borno State in a gun battle involving the military and the Boko haram sect. Knowing and accepting the fact therefore that it will be almost impossible “to arrest most terrorists in Nigeria” unless those claimed to have been arrested are those the president had before claimed “having infiltrated his cabinet and the presidency” time will soon tell on President Goodluck Jonathan swallowing his words once again and with a warning that it pays a good leader to carefully weigh his words on very sensitive national matters rather than being frivolous with words throw about.
