BOKO HARAM, AL-QUEIDA IN NIGERIA, BLOWS UP FORCE HEAQUARTERS!
Icheoku hereby and without any equivocation or mincing of words, call on Nigeria Inspector General of Police Hafiz Ringim to do the honorable thing under the circumstance - fall on his sword. He has failed in his primary duty and responsibility both to the president and the Nigerian people to provide security and protect them from harm and as a result his office let another take. Former Inspector General Ogbonnaya Onovo was dismissed or forced to retire because according to the government of President Goodluck Jonathan, he failed to stop the incessant kidnapping then afflicting the country. Now the current IGP Ringim has failed to stop the Northern Nigeria terrorist organisation, Boko Haram, from continuously maiming and killing innocent Nigerians and destroying properties on a scale never before seen; and should therefore resign or be forced out of service.
There is simply no other option; especially with the latest brazen attack on the very turf of the IGP, the Nigerian Police Headquarters in Abuja. Icheoku says if this Al-Queida franchise in Northern Nigeria could be so audacious as to take their war of terror to the very doorsteps of the IGP himself - his own force's headquarters, then no Nigerian including President Jonathan is safe from the reach of this terrorist organisation. It therefore will be foolhardy for the government to wait for Boko Haram to assassinate a very prominent top official or inflict a monumental catastrophy before it showed the IGP the exit door in order to make way for a more capable and competent hand to take over the reigns and eradicate this terrorist organisation. Increasingly, it has been shown repeatedly that IGP Hafiz Ringim cannot secure the country, hence there is no business having him still at the helm of the Nigerian police force. He should go or be forced to go; either way, IGP Hafiz Ringim is not the right man for the job and this is the problem with Nigeria where patronage as opposed to competence dictates who gets what appointment.
Enough is enough President Jonathan - either you lead with the best or just get out of the way for a real man to take the reins. This time calls for President Jonathan to man up and show his resolute-resolve that he is the real Commander in Chief and that every federal government official including the IGP works at his pleasure. Icheoku maintains that all circumstances considered, there is no longer any pleasure for Mr President in keeping IGP Ringim in office as he has failed in his primary responsibility to provide and ensure security for Nigerians and other nationalities living or visiting Nigeria. Ironically, the IGP recently proclaimed that the days of Al-Queida in Northern Nigeria is numbered and in response the same Al-Queida took the war of terror directly to him, at his head-office, to prove that they are not going anywhere soon and by necessary implication seem to suggest that if anyone's days are numbered, it is the IGP's? Icheoku wonders if the IGP is tough enough for the job and has what it really takes to punch back at those madmen who nearly took his headquarters down. Icheoku says if revenge would ever be so good, now is it; and it does not have to wait to be served cold - just as hot as the bombing and NOW!
Unfortunately, Nigeria is fast becoming the Pakistan of Africa in its failure to provide security for the people and properties therein; and the promise of Northern Nigeria Elders Forum to make Nigeria ungovernable should President Jonathan win the election does not help matters either. This makes it highly suggestive that the present apparent near-total security breakdown and anarchy in the country may be somewhat connected or is with the tacit support and approval of some very high-up Northern Nigerian politicians and military officials both retired and serving. Icheoku says President Jonathan must do all he can and should not also be too proud to beg or accept the American government's offer to assist in getting rid of these blood-thirsty mongrels. Admitted Al-Queida in Northern Nigeria learnt from President Jonathan's kiths and kins in the Niger Delta, but they seem to have learnt too much and must be stopped NOW before they plunge the country into another avoidable civil war of all civil wars that might well serve as the last straw. Enough!
