''I am impressed and encouraged by the tough talk that our President indulged in tonight but I have never heard of a State of Emergency where the governors and other political office holders in the affected states are given the opportunity to "remain in office". This has never happened before in the history of Nigeria.
As far as I am concerned President Jonathan's declaration of a State of Emergency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states is too little and too late. The governor's and ALL political office holders in the affected states should have been completely removed and the whole state should have been run by a Federal Government appointed civilian Administrator who would then have the full backing of the military.
That is what is meant to happen when a State of Emergency is declared. Sadly Jonathan did not have the guts to go all the way and to remove the governors and this half-measure that he has put in place will not have the desired effect. This is another lost opportunity. What a pity."
And Just minutes after President Jonathan declared a State of Emergency in Borno State and two other states, the Secretary of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in the state, Reverend Faye Pama Musa was killed by suspected Boko Haram members. This happened around 7.30pm on the 15th of march.
Reverend Pama Musa, who was the head pastor of a pentecostal church in Maiduguri, was shot dead inside his GRA home by two gunmen who trailed him to his residence. The head quarters of Borno CAN have confirmed his killing. WHAT IS YOUR REACTION TO THIS!!!
