Aregbesola Calls For Mass Protest Over Missing Schoolgirls
Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola has called for nationwide mass protest against Islamic terrorists, Boko Haram over the recent abduction of 234 schoolgirls.
The girls were taken hostage from Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, Northeast Nigeria.
Aregbesola spoke at the public presentation of a book “Giants of History (The Making of Our World)” written the Lagos State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Aderemi Ibirogba.
The event was held at the Civic Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos, Southwest Nigeria on Tuesday.
Describing the abduction as a national disaster, the governor said there was need by all Nigerians to rise up against the abduction of innocent citizens, lamenting that it was sad that one week after the abduction, Nigerians moved on as if nothing had happened.
“I don’t even know what to say than to urge everybody to do anything humanly possible collectively and individually to put an end to this sad development. The Federal Government must rise up to this challenge. Everyone in authority must act now. It is not only degrading us as a people, it is defaming us.
“As horrible as Afghanistan is we never read about people being abducted. We talk of no man’s land of West Afghanistan, such does not happen. Nigeria is heading to the level that does not recognize us as civilised people and human beings anymore and it is a shame.
“I should not have said this here considering my position in the polity but what is my choice? When school children are being abducted in schools and we carry on as if it is mere statistics. It is not. We must protest on the streets to tell all of us that enough is enough,” he said.
He also faulted the title being accorded political office holders, such as “Your Excellency,” describing them as unconstitutional and should be discarded.
“For public office holders who got their mandate on popular electoral mandate, it is totally paradoxical to refer to them as Your Excellency. Where? This makes no sense but people just carry on and on. In Republican America, it is abnormal to refer to the president as Your Excellency. He is called Mr. President,” he said.
On the book, Aregbesola said the youths would find the book useful as it would serve as inspiration to them.
Speaking, Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State commended the author for finding time to write the book, urging other public office holders to document their experience in public service to fill the dearth of literatures on public service in Nigeria.
Another vigilante leader killed in Delta
The leader of a vigilance group, Kpufman Migagan, was shot dead on Monday by gunmen in Otokutu junction, Ughelli-South Local Government Area of Delta.

The suspected assailants shot Migagan in a Toyota Siena bus conveying him and his members to Warri. A source said there was exchange of gunshots during which Migagan was killed.

CSP Celestina Kalu, Delta Police Public Relations Officer, confirmed the incident.

“One of the assailants also died on the spot. Their corpses have been deposited at a morgue in Udu’’, she said, adding that the police would open investigation into the incident.
I’m Ready to Expose Boko Haram Sponsor –Popular Clairvoyant
Goni added that having been
disturbed by the bloodletting and seemingly inexorable hostilities by the
group, he deemed it fit to come forward, and warned that if those behind Boko
Haram fail to change their ways, he will soon expose them.
He said he is aware of the various nocturnal meetings held by the sect before launching attacks but was not able to curtail their attacks as he had not been permitted to do so. He condemned the recent bombing in Abuja and urged government to take more security measures like mounting of CCTV cameras.
He called for the probe of the Chinese company handling the installation of CCTV cameras in Abuja, adding that the contract should be revoked and handed over to a more competent company.
“Government should also look at ways of giving employment to civilian JTF in the armed forces, police and other para military organizations so that they can continue to actively contribute their quota in protecting their father land”, Goni stressed.
All you Boko Haram sponsors, repent
now or be exposed!
