Nigerians based in United States of America, have asked President Goodluck Jonathan to stop paying lip service to the fight against insurgency in Nigeria and take decisive actions before the 2015 general elections.
Acting under the auspices of the Nigeria Moral Democratic Awareness Council, they however, praised Jonathan for the electoral reform he initiated, which manifested in the freeness and fairness in the governorship elections in Osun, Ekiti, Ondo and Edo states.
In an electronic mail signed by its coordinator, Mr. Samuel Ayodele, and made available to journalists in Ado Ekiti on Saturday, the council condemned the senseless killings and maiming of innocent Nigerians and expatriates by insurgents in the North.
The NMDAC, which claimed to be a non-partisan, but patriotic group said, “We reviewed numerous reports from across the political spectrum at the end of year meeting held at Marriot Hotel in Washington D.C on December 30, 2014.
“We, therefore, resolved that the climate of violence, counter-violence, intimidation and sheer thuggery may not give room for any atmosphere of peaceful coexistence in our dear and sovereign country.
“The members concluded that the lack of effective prosecution of several cases of corruption, the lack of meaningful jobs and insensitivity of our government have led to several cases of insecurity in the country.
“We condemn various atrocities, murders, mayhem and intimidation that have been going on unabated on daily basis in the Northern part of Nigeria for the past few years. We find it very difficult to believe that government does not have the will to confront these problems and arrest the culprits,” it stated.
