A veteran soldier in the Niger Delta, Dan Kelly Temine, has warned Nasir El-Rufai, Muhammadu Buhari and their cohorts in the North causing violence to calm down before they break up Nigeria.
Speaking to The Newswriter in Port Harcourt, Kelly has it that they seemed not to appreciate the present government as if the government is not competent, simply because of the geographical area which the president come from, despite the fact that the problem of the country today began not less than 30 years ago.
He pointed out that Buhari in 1984 greeted people of this nation on the New year day with a coup-de-tat planned by himself and his infantry colleagues, overthrew the second Republic and it took Nigeria good 14 years to take power back from the military.
Kelly further, said that since the inception of Goodluck Jonathan as president, the North with Buhari and El-Rufai had been terrorizing the country and that the question is if they have anything better than what Jonathan has? If they don’t, he said, they should play low in order not to break the country.
Again, he said Federal Government should not dialogue with Boko Haram for Amnesty as what they are asking for is not in the interest of Nigeria and warned that should they touch Christians again they would see fire.
Kelly also called on the Bayelsa Assembly to maintain decorum and listen to the directives of the president, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan and return Hon. Koubowei Benson as Speaker of the House.
According to him, the idea that the president should not interfere in Bayelsa state matters is irrelevant because Mr. President is the father of all, pointing out that whatever happened in any part of the country affects him directly and he must intervene as father of all.
Kelly said the governor of Bayelsa state was chosen by God and advised all to give him their maximum support. ###
