Jonathan Should Ignore Boko Haram; I'm Not Their Sponsor –IBB

Former Military President, General Ibrahim Babangida has described as laughable, the call by Islamic sect, Boko Haram on President Goodluck Jonathan to resign from office as condition for peace to reign in the country.
The former military president disclosed that there were other sensitive issues confronting the nation which were also deadly, but were being swept under the carpet.
General Babangida, at an interaction with newsmen at his Hill Top mansion, Minna, Niger state as part of activities to mark his 71st birthday, also declared that he had no link with Boko Haram. He challenged Nigerians to unravel those behind the Islamic sect and its origin rather than point accusing fingers at innocent citizens.
Babangida said: “From my own observation and reading what the media write, I want to say you have not done more studies, you have not done more investigations and researches to find out the causes of this Boko Haram and even communal clashes within the Fulanis, Gwaris and other tribes in the country.
"Somebody should be able to tell us; somebody should be able to do a research on these and not just conclude that I and some few others are behind the Boko Haram, which is not so.”
General babangida also threw his weight behind the establishment of state police, pointing out that the agitation for state police was in order and needs to be considered.
