"Anyone Not Worried About Boko Haram Is Irresponsible" -Gowon
With the current spate of terrorism in the country, the Former Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon, retd, on Tuesday said any Nigerian who was not worried about the insecurity in the country is irresponsible.
Gowon made this statement while speaking to newsmen shortly after the flag-off Peugeot 301 production at PAN, in Kaduna State.
The former Nigerian leader who earlier this year called on Nigerians to rise up against members of the Boko Haram sect and put an end to their “senseless” killings and bombings, however did not criticize President Jonathan-led government who he claims is doing its best in ensuring that the country was at peace.
According to Gowon who had in April said the current insecurity in the country brings Nigeria to another Civil war said with his years of working with different Nigerians irrespective of ethnicity and religion, he knew that Islam was never a murderous religion and such Boko Haram insurgents were not Muslims but he blamed Nigerians for the insecurity in the country.
Gowon said: “As far as security of Nigeria is concerned, everybody should be worried about the situation. Anyone who is not worried is irresponsible and I can assure you that this government is very responsible.
” The government is trying its best to deal with security problems in the country. Who caused the security problem; it is caused by all Nigerians and the outsiders who are invited to cause the harvoc that we have in the country.
“Certainly Islam is not about murderous people. This group that is doing this is not probably Nigerian Islam but imported. Distractive Islam which is not the Nigerian Islam. So let us all put our heads together and deal with this particular problem.”
The dreaded Boko Haram hasbeen responsible for various deadly attacks in the country.
The sect who has killed about 15,000 people so far since 2009, just today attacked Maiduguri, Borno state and killed 18 people and injured 55 in a bomb blast.
