CHRISTIANS IN NORTHERN NIGERIA WANTS PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN TO RESIGN

Christians in Northern Nigerian have asked President Goodluck Jonathan to resign, according to Punch Newspaper they are not happy with his comments on boko Haram. Jonathan was quoted as saying he can not crush the Islamic sec saying "they are our siblings and  you cannot set the army to wipe out your family." 

In a statement by the spokesman of the Northern Christian Association of Nigeria Mr Sunday Oibe, the comments credited to Jonathan was an indication that the country was helpless in a situation as the President "does not seem to understand the aim of the sect to destabilize his administration."  According to CAN it is shocking for the President to say he will not deploy the military to deal with terrorist who have been killing other Nigerians and threatening the corporate existence of the country.
The body argued that it was clear that the President has been shielding the group at the expense of the lives of innocent people, urging Nigerians to have a rethink on the type of President that is governing the country at the moment.

The  statement  read in part "What he is telling us now is that there is nothing he can do about it but we know that the Federal Government has the capacity to stop the madness being unleashed on Nigerians.  However, it is now obvious that the President will rather shield criminals." 
"Every Nigerian can recall how former President Olusegun Obasanjo reacted when the Niger Delta militants attacked soldiers in  Odi.  Even though the militants were asking for their legitimate rights.  No country in the world will allow its soldiers, trained to defend the territorial integrity of the nation to be killed by a gang of criminals and get away with it".
"Nigerians can also recall that in Zaki- Biam, Benue state, the same Obasanjo as President sent  troops to deal ruthlessly with the people there for allegedly killing soldiers.
Now on a daily basis soldiers, police and other security personnel are being killed by Boko Haram members and the President has the effrontery to tell us that these murderers are members of the family and he cannot mobilise the army to deal with them."  
"Jonathan has failed us Christians, he has failed Nigerians and he should resign by this statement, it is very clear that he is not capable of handling the danger  posed by the Boko Haram insurgency."
