This interview of Hon. Farouk Adamu Aliyu is a most important document
in Nigeria’s developing history. Mr. Aliyu went to the United States to
seek the assistance and cooperation of the Obama administration in the
arrest of Nigeria’s President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. He defended the
reasons why he and many Nigerians, myself included believe the
accidental President of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan should be swiftly
arrested for crimes against humanity, support and leadership of
terrorism and gross abuse of office. Mr. Aliyu formally presented the
submission to the United States government who have the capacity to
arrest Goodluck Jonathan, protected by immunity in Nigeria.
He expressed that it will be insincere and reckless of the US and
international community to continue to ignore the direct leadership,
affiliations and coordination of terror by the Nigerian President on the
country’s 167 million people.
It is noted that a top US think-tank, STRATFOR, has informed that
Goodluck Jonathan is a Patron of the Movement for the Emancipation of
the Niger Delta, MEND terrorist organization responsible for multiple
events of terror including oil installation bombings and the 2010 Abuja
independence day bombing that left over eight Nigerians dead...
Another top US intelligence think-tank, the Council of Foreign Relations
in a report[PDF] by Robert I. Rotberg, “THE CENTER FOR PREVENTIVE
ACTION: Nigeria Elections and Continuing Challenges,” described
Nigeria’s president as notably “compromised,” and his wife, Patience
Jonathan as “indicted by the Economic Financial Crimes Commission,
EFCC,” a notably “cruel” being for “ordering the fiancée of a prominent
Ijaw leader locked-up and turning down all pleas to have her released;”
and described her as the “greediest Bayelsa person;” referencing
International Herald Tribune of September 11, 2006 and the Vanguard
(Lagos), March 31, 2006.
Most recently, the Chief of Army Staff of Nigeria for the past four
years, General Azubuike Ihejirika was accused of being a top sponsor of
Boko Haram terror organization by a chief negotiator hired by Nigeria.
These serious allegations further implicate Nigeria's President in
terror and treason.
Hon Aliyu was a northern Nigerian who sought a court injunction against
his fellow northerner, late President Umar Yar’Adua in favor of the
assumption of the Presidential role for then disenfranchised deputy
President Goodluck Jonathan.
The lengthy interview below offers Nigerians a uniquely robust document
of very important material that presents, teaches and promotes justice,
patriotism, and braveness in the pursuit of conscientious truth,
equality, progress and development.
The interviewer, SaharaReporters-Ms Adeola Fayehun did a superb job of
asking the pertinent and honest questions which further enabled this
video transcribed below, to be a reliable reference point and
quintessential resource guide for Nigerians to urgently consult in these
desperate times towards properly planning our next moves. Students
should read this to understand what honesty, nationalism, patriotism,
moral consciousness, altruistic self-sacrifice, and the pursuit of
justice mean.

The full transcript follows:
INTERVIEW: US Government Should Arrest President Jonathan As A Boko Haram Collaborator
Adeola Fayehun, a reporter with Sahara Television, had an exclusive
interview with Hon. Farouk Adamu Aliyu, former Member, Nigeria House of
Representatives.
Sahara Reporters: How do you think the government is handling the terrorist group so far?
Hon. Aliyu: Very badly because there are two Boko Harams- the visible
Boko Haram led by Shekau, and invisible Boko Haram led by President
Jonathan Goodluck. Which means the government can never do anything that
will contain the Boko Haram absolutely.
Sahara Reporters: Why did you say the government is also Boko Haram?
Hon. Aliyu: You remember very well the President said himself there are
Boko Haram members in his cabinet and we are yet to see who they are. He
has not handed them over to the police and as I speak to you now, there
is not one person that is being prosecuted. Not one high-up level
person that is probably in jail for Boko Haram.
And as I speak to you today, people are being killed in Kano where I
live. In Maiduguri, Yola, Yobe, in all these states and other towns in
the Northern part of the country. And the government is doing nothing. I
was in Maiduguri for six weeks and I’ve seen the conditions of our
soldiers there. You know the government is not serious in tackling Boko
Haram and the menace will not go.
Sahara Reporters: I wanted to talk about the missing girls. It’s
being like four months now; do you think that they are doing anything at
all?Hon. Aliyu: Well, I think yes they are talking, making noise.
But doing things underground? I don’t think so. As I speak to you as
well, not one military officer is in Sambisa forest. They have never
ever been there. Never! They have never been to the forest where the
Boko Haram members are. The government knows. So how do they tackle it?
And you see, the unfortunate part of it is that, the Nigerian military
will rather go on the streets and kill you and I. Last week in Zaria,
they went and kill El-Zakzaky and his three children; or on the road, on
the street or in Lagos bus drivers and so on in other parts of the
country. Take money from public, muscling people but to go to Sambisa
and fight, they will not because the leader of Boko Haram, the
invisible who is Jonathan Goodluck , invisible Boko Haram leader will
not give them funds, necessary ammunitions to go and work or to go and
fight.
Sahara Reporters: He (President Jonathan) recently asked for another
$1 billion to fight Boko Haram. Do you think that he is not using the
money for what he claims that he will use the money for? Or do you think
that he just did not give them order to go after the girls?Hon.
Aliyu: Well, they have already appropriated more than a trillion naira
between 2009 to date to fight Boko Haram. But what are they doing? They
are just having parties, coming to Washington with 78 people to come and
spend peoples’ money. Or what are they doing again? Maybe the first
lady going on jamboree; what are they doing again? Celebration of
Nigeria’s 100 years.
What are they doing again? Making sure President acquires another
aircraft. What are they doing again? $20 billion that were said to have
been missing, instead of the President to ask for where the money is he
sacked Sanusi. What he did? Sacked the Managing Director of NNPC; What
he did? You know this is the only country that in four years, you had
four MD’s of NNPC but the Minister of Petroleum has never been
cautioned.
You know this kind of things so this is where the money is going to. Now
the President is looking for another one billion to steal the way they
have been stealing the country. If the President is serious, he should
ask for the whereabouts of the 20 billion and probably take from that 20
billion and use whatever he wants to do for the military but he is not
going to do that because he is not serious.
He doesn’t want peace in this country that is why I am in Washington to
solicit the assistance and cooperation of President Obama to arrest
President Jonathan Goodluck, to ensure he doesn’t go back to Nigeria.
Because if the American government could be after Mugabe, Bashir of
Sudan, with even arrest warrants on him, there are no more people killed
in Sudan than in Nigeria. So if the United State Government is serious,
if the international community is serious, the person to be arrested is
here in Washington. They should arrest him; we shall provide evidence
against Jonathan Goodluck with blood in his hands.
The country we emulate, United States, you could see how they deploy
their resources to bring in two American citizens from Liberia that were
affected by Ebola. Two! As I speak to you now, probably 100 Nigerians
are killed and nothing is happening. And you mean this man will be
walking streets of the greatest democracy in the world? That means
American government is not serious if they allow him to go back.
Sahara Reporters: I’m glad you talked about the Washington summit
going on. Because I was just to ask you about that. First of all, what
do you think about the whole idea of inviting African leaders here? And
second of all, do you think anything good can come out of this for
regular Nigerians on the street?Hon. Aliyu: The American government
is doing it for its own interest just like the Chinese also did this
kind of conference in their own interest. The African leaders and
Chinese leaders,- is to foster economic gains of these countries. But
whether African leaders you know will also seek for an opportunity to
enhance Africans that is another thing.
Some African countries will do but certainly the leadership of Nigeria
will not do anything to ensure you and I ordinary Nigerians benefit from
this kind of jamboree.
Sahara Reporters: You have been saying Nigeria has the biggest
economy in Africa and it’s been some months now we are not seeing the
effect of that yet so I’m just wondering your view about how they’ve
been saying Nigeria is the biggest economy now and also the fact that
you are saying that coming here doesn’t relay /translate into anything
good for common Nigerians.Hon. Aliyu: You know the economic indices
of Nigeria are different from reality. The economic indices, inflation,
whatever inflation figure or any economic indices Okonjo Iweala tells
you or President Jonathan tells you are total lie because they don’t
even know what they are doing.
Economic indices should show the number of jobs created in a month; the
number of people that can feed, the numbers of children that can go to
school. As I speak to you now, doctors in Nigeria are on strike.
Sahara Reporters: For more than a month?
Hon. Aliyu: For more than a month. Polytechnic lecturers, more than one
year they decided on their own to come back to work because nobody
cares. So this is a country where nobody cares about anything. How can
they come and tell you that we are the biggest economy? I am telling you
Niger Republic economy is better than that of Nigeria because at least,
average Nigerien people, they can feed, they can send their children to
school, and those that can afford can have electricity. But in my
country, this is the only country in the whole world that no matter how
rich you are, you could be inconvenient.
Because if you have the best car in the country, it could break down and
nobody could fix it for you. If you have the best house, you could,
absolutely; you know so that is what I am telling you. So where are the
economic indices? Who will tell you that we are the biggest economy? No!
If you say we have the greatest looters of the economy that I agree.
The president is proud to say that we are the second country with the
largest number of private aircraft. That kind of nonsense! I mean if
your President will pride himself in saying look, my country has private
jets, I mean as if that has got anything to do with the economic
indices.
If you have one person of the population of about 200 million stealing,
taking the money, bluntly I mean like pucking their fingers into the
eyes of the masses, then you can go to hell, do your worse; yes we have
stolen, there is nothing you can do and we can bring the military to
crush you. Instead of them to send military to Sambisa, they use them
against us.
Sahara Reporters: Let’s talk a bit about the upcoming election. You
have been saying that the candidate for the President has to be from the
north and a lot of people have been wondering why it must be somebody
from the north.Hon. Aliyu: There could be a good Christian leader,
and there could be a bad Muslim leader. There could be a good Southern
leader or there could be a bad Northern leader. I mean, I am sure we can
have somebody better than Jonathan Goodluck from Otuoke, his village.
All we are saying is got nothing do with where he comes from, but the
way Nigeria is framed. I mean Jonathan Goodluck is from the Southern
part of the country, a Christian; Obasanjo, Southern part of the
country, a Christian; he has been there for eight years. Jonathan has
been there for close to eight years and for semblance of unity.
Sahara Reporters: Cuts in…What about Yar’adua?
Hon. Aliyu: Well, Yar’adua was there for maybe two years. So if you
calculate from the time the civilian started in 1999 to date, only
Yar’adua who comes from the North, a Muslim. So the people in the North
feel like this time is the time of the North.
But if Jonathan Goodluck had led us well, nobody would have even thought
of North or any other person. But he is not leading us well. It got
nothing to do with where he comes from. I Honourable Farouk Adamu Aliyu
went to court to get judgement against my Fulani man, late Yar’adua,
for him (President Jonathan) to be acting President of Nigeria. I got
judgement in favour of Jonathan Goodluck.
Before then, I have never met him. Up till this time, I met him only
once, about a month and half ago at the conference for political parties
that he called. I went with General Buhari, that is where I saw him for
the first time in my life and I have never seen Jonathan Goodluck in my
life so I did it for my country, I didn’t do it for Jonathan.
So it got nothing to do with where he comes from but he is an
incompetent leader as a nation. I mean our leader as a Nigerian;
incompetent from Otuoke. Otuoke, I’m sure can produce better.
Sahara Reporters: So who do you think could be good candidate in this
coming election besides the President because it looks from all
indications that Mr. President would probably run; I mean contest. So
against him who do you think could be a good candidate?Hon. Aliyu:
Sadly it’s going to be a candidate from All Progressive Congress (APC).
And we also have an hand written constitution in APC that this time
around, a candidate from the North will fly the flag of APC. So whoever
the candidate emerges from, APC would sadly beat Jonathan. Anybody
can
beat Jonathan because if its performance that would matter for him to
tell us what he did, nobody would vote for Jonathan Goodluck because we
have no government in Nigeria.
Sahara Reporters: What if the President wins again?
Hon. Aliyu: Well, if Nigerians vote for him, so be it. We are practicing
democracy; there is nothing we can do. As at today, I didn’t vote for
him but he is my President. There is nothing we can do; he is the
President. Yes he is the President but I pray Nigerians don’t make that
mistake again.
Sahara Reporters: What are somethings that you feel like they should
concentrate on right now in Nigeria? Just some basic things that you
think they should just take care of.Hon. Aliyu: Leadership by
example. The President, first of all should declare his asset to lead by
example. What I’m saying leading by example, if Nigerians are crying
out against the Minister of Petroleum, what is wrong in him
investigating her? To prove to the whole world that look, this woman is
pretty clean. That is all we are saying.
What is wrong in Mr. President telling us exactly what is in the kitty
of government today? And what they are doing with the money. You have to
start from that. You have to start from the basic thing; you have to
start from as little as number of delegation he is carrying out. When
President is moving, the kind of convoys he goes about with.
Sahara Reporters: Cuts in…like here that he came to?
Hon. Aliyu: Exactly! You know you carry 70, 80 people to America? Or
when you are moving, even in Nigeria, you carry two hundred cars; the
fuelling is done by us. I mean you have to start from basic things that
people think it’s nothing.
But you have to start from somewhere because when you see a jeep moving,
that is a cottage industry in the village. If they use that money, it
can produce water, clean water for my people to drink in Otuoke where he
comes from.
Then fight corruption, abide by the oath of office and oath of
allegiance without fear or favour. Is he doing that? No! Sanusi asked
for $20 billion, what did he get? He was sacked. And up till now, nobody
has shown us that look, Sanusi was telling the truth or he was lying.
All they did is to make sure he goes and he left and nothing happens.
Committees upon committees and nothing will come out of it. This is the
only country also that the solution to a problem is a committee. There
is a Chibok girls that are missing; committee to find out how many girls
are missing; committee to ascertain the parents, whether the parents
are still there. Another committee, also to take care of the parents;
another committee to ensure, you know, committees upon committees while
you have government agencies dedicated to do all these kind of things.
So government has to be, what I’m saying, oath of office, oath of
allegiance. If he abides by that, that would be.
Sahara Reporters: So he should declare asset and fight corruption?
Hon. Aliyu: Absolutely! Look, the major problem is corruption. If they
fight corruption, everything will fall in place. If Mr. President is
accused, I mean like when he came into power, how many houses did he
have? How many does he have now? Those kind of things. How can President
effectively challenge anybody in government if as I speak to you now,
there is not one former governor that is in jail in Nigeria because of
corruption because some of them are accused of corruption, they were in
government so they had immunity now they are out of government. Only one
that was prosecuted in UK. You remember in Nigeria, they said a 160
case he was discharged and acquitted, and in UK, he’s in prison. So I
mean, if there are no living examples for fight against corruption, how
can any governor or any government official you know see some prestals
that look if you do anything wrong, you cannot go scoot free. But in
Nigeria, you do things wrong and you go scoot free.
In fact on top of that, you buy an aircraft. That is the social symbol.
Sahara Reporters: Former Governor Alamieyeseigha was released.
Hon. Aliyu: Cuts in…not only released, he was also pardoned, state
pardon that he did nothing. He is one of the elite in Nigeria now. This
is the president that also we have who does not see himself as
President of Nigeria. If I, a Muslim, Fulani man can go to court in his
favour for Nigeria, I see no reason why him, last week when El-Zakzaky
three children were killed; massacred on the street of Zaria, nothing
happened. If children of Edwin Clark, or Ayo Oritsejafor are killed, do
you think we would have peace in Nigeria today?
No. but the President is not President of Nigeria, and unfortunately, he is probably President of Ijaw.
Sahara Reporters: A lot of people have been saying oil belongs to the North. First of all, what is your view about this and why?Hon.
Aliyu: No. What I said, the oil in Bayelsa belongs to jigawa. The oil
in Delta belongs to Jigawa where I come from. Why? Because we are called
Federal Republic of Nigeria, and under the constitution, all resources
belong to the government of Nigeria and should be shared accordingly,
constitutionally, 13% derivation will go to the oil producing states.
So as at today, the oil in Bayelsa belongs to Bornu; the oil in Bayelsa
belongs to, of course Jigawa and other states so and till the
constitution is changed, it is commonwealth. Simple!
Sahara Reporters: I’m just wondering, you said you have some proof
about why they should arrest President Jonathan. Do you mind telling us
just few of the reasons why he should be arrested and locked up?Hon.
Aliyu: One, as I said, if President Bashir of Sudan would be sought
after for war against humanity, we have evidence of photographs of
military personnel slaughtering people alleged to Boko Haram. We have
them. I have, I brought them here to US.
Sahara Reporters: So you think the President knows about it?
Hon. Aliyu: Absolutely! He is the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces
of Nigeria. And in all his setting up of committees, we have not heard
him setting up committee to investigate those kind of extra judicial
killings. Or the killing in Zaria, or the attempted murder of General
Buhari, or the attempted murder of late Emir of Kano, or the attempted
murder of the Sheu of Bornu, or the mother of Japhat. So many people
were killed and nothing happened and we have documented evidence against
the armed forces and some security personnel that he is leading. That’s
one.
Then two, we also have evidence of Mr. President colluding with alleged
Boko Haram sponsors. Anybody who is running from, I mean people that are
financing Boko Haram run to him and he works with them. We have this
evidence which I hope before he leaves here, Obama will grant my request
and order the arrest of Jonathan Goodluck.
Sahara Reporters: Who are some of the people that you think are funding Boko Haram?
Hon. Aliyu: Jonathan Goodluck is number one and his cohorts. The evidence I will show when I’m called open.
Sahara Reporters: But with everything going on in Washington, you are
also here but you stand as opposition member though. Who sponsored your
trip here?Hon. Aliyu: I sponsored myself. I own a furniture
factory, one of the largest furniture factories in the Northern part of
the country. I have had it for last 25 years before I joined politics. I
am not a poor man. I can afford to travel first class, stay in five
star hotel. I could afford to do this thing for a very long time. I
sponsor myself here.
Sahara Reporters: And you came just to make sure they arrest President Jonathan?
Hon. Aliyu: Nods.
Sahara Reporters: Why was he not arrested in Nigeria? Why is it that America has to do it?
Hon. Aliyu: Because he has immunity and American government went to
arrest Noruega from Nikaragua so it is for them now, he is here. So let
them just arrest him here and you know in Nigeria, you can’t even arrest
a governor in Nigeria, they have immunity but in America, they have no
immunity. And I hope, I pray they will arrest him.
Sahara Reporters: And you want him jailed here or taken back to Nigeria to be tried?
Hon: Aliyu: Well, I will want him to be jailed anywhere. First of all, I
would want him to be tried, and if he is found not guilty, he should be
acquitted and discharged. But if he is found guilty, I would want him
to spend the prison term in Kirikiri in Nigeria.
Sahara Reporters: And what would be your strategy in dealing with boko haram?
Hon. Aliyu: First of all, insincerity of purpose. The committees upon
committees that the government has set up on Boko Haram, what are they
doing with the report? If nobody from Bornu State, has been arrested
today- nobody like from when the crisis started to date, we have no
people that are in prison today.
The strategy is one, to deal decisively with the sponsors. Because the
Nigerian security agencies know the sponsors of Boko Haram, they know
them. Even we also know them and those
Sahara Reporters: Cuts in. But you are not mentioning…
Hon. Aliyu: Yes I’m not mentioning it now that’s what I’m saying. If
they arrest Jonathan Goodluck because he is number one, then other names
would follow. When he is arrested then we come up with the names that
we know which he knows, they know, the security agencies know but up
till now none of them is arrested; nobody is prosecuted for that. Only
the foot soldiers, at least foot soldiers. Some are massacred, some are
with them, some they would arrange some caricature riot in SSS
headquarters and kill them because they don’t want us to know; because,
look we as Nigerians need to know.
If they arrest one person, they should tell us what he did, we need to
know. But they don’t tell you. Recently they repriarated somebody from
Sudan and probably that is the last you will hear of him, I’m telling
you. This is Nigeria; that is the last you will hear of him. They would
not come and tell us exactly what has happened to him. So that is what
we are saying. If Jonathan is brought to trial, we shall bring up all
those evidences and probably the SSS, the military intelligence will be
made to come and give their evidence.
Sahara Reporters: Are you saying that Jonathan knows the sponsors and
he is refusing to prosecute them? What do you think he has to gain from
doing that?Hon. Aliyu: It is very convenient for Jonathan Goodluck for this Boko Haram to continue.
One, it will disenfranchise Northern part of the country where he have
the largest number of votes from the country. Is it not, what a
coincidence that all these issues are happening in opposition states?
Kano was bombed eight times within the last one month. Eight times! So
many places were bombed in Kano.
In Yobe, Adamawa and Bornu, of course the headquarters of bombing. So
these are the kind of things because with crisis, who will even come to
vote? Would you come out to vote and be killed? That’s is why I have
honestly sacrifice my life because in Nigeria if you don’t come out to
struggle, you will either be killed at the filling station or you will
be killed on the road or you will be killed in the motor park or passing
the road. So you better come out and speak. You speak out. If they kill
you, so be it.
In any case, we are mortals. Somehow, you will die. So if anybody thinks
probably by killing me, God bless him. Personally, I’ve sacrificed my
life. I am willing to die for my country. If coming out to say the truth
will mean me being eliminated, so be it probably those coming behind me
will enjoy.
Sahara Reporters: I was going to say that it is not just the
opposition state thou because Kaduna was also under attack. Bauchi has
been attacked and Gombe.Hon. Aliyu: Cuts in. That is true but then
when you come to the whole picture, all this thing is happening in the
Northern part of the country where you have the largest number of votes.
So you find out that look, when they tell you, in fact I’m even
wondering how we can come out campaigning these days because we will be
scared in the Northern part of the country.
Today, my party had large gathering in Osun, Oshogbo, but that kind of
gathering cannot happen in Kano or Kaduna because you will be scared.
You don’t know what will happen to you. So the government is
deliberately instilling fear in the electorates. So it is very
convenient for Jonathan not to fight Boko Haram or any terror for that
matter in Northern part of the country.
Sahara Reporters: But a lot of Nigerians believe that it is people
that don’t like Jonathan that are behind Boko Haram in order to
discredit his government. You are saying otherwise.Hon. Aliyu: You
know that is stupid, nonsense. Because how can you arrange for you to
kill yourself? How? So if anybody is trying to discredit Jonathan, they
should take the fight to Bayelsa where he comes from. No! It’s got
nothing to do with him. We don’t hate Jonathan. He is my President
today. As at today, he is the President of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria but I want him arrested so that there will be peace in Nigeria.
With him continuing as President of Nigeria, Nigeria will know no peace
because he is clueless, he has no idea, I mean it is very convenient,
the only idea he has, how do I continue to make sure there is trouble in
Northern part of the country.
You see and fortunately for him, he doesn’t know that look, the Boko
Haram crisis that started in Bornu, which the government sees it as
North East problem started coming to North West, Abuja. If care is not
taken, it will go to Bayelsa because this is a national problem; it is
not a Northern problem. So the earlier Mr President sees it as our
problem, collectively, not because of his election, you know the better.
So if he thinks he disenfranchises the Northerners from voting next year
so that he can have the votes from his part of the country, well may
God bless him, I hope we will all be alive to see that kind of thing
happens.
Sahara Reporters: You are already here. So do you have an appointment
to speak with President Obama? Or what is the game plan to get
President Jonathan arrested?Hon. Aliyu: Well, I’m looking for
appointment to see him and I hope I would see Obama if by today or
tomorrow, at least before Jonathan leaves. If I don’t get to see him, I
will drop my letter in the White House so that even if they don’t arrest
him now, anytime Jonathan is out of Nigeria, American government
probably with the aid of UN arrest him.
Sahara Reporters: Not to undermine what you are trying to do but to
be honest, do you think that America really, that they don’t know what
is going on in Nigeria? Are you confident that your letter is what they
are waiting for or your meeting with Obama is what they are waiting for?
Like do you think they don’t know what is going on right now? Or do you
think they are knowingly turning blind eye?Hon. Aliyu: Well, we
think they are feeling ignorance, so if they are feeling ignorance, we
will remind them. I will tell them that look true true people are dying
in Nigeria and we are reminding you that a bomb was planted at UN
building in Abuja. We are also reminding you eight bombs were detonated
in Kano last week. There was an attempted murder on the life of General
Buhari, Dahiru Bauchi, El-Zakzaky 30 supporters and his three children
were killed, alleged boko haram members are being slaughtered by the
military and so on and so fault.
So many people are kidnapped. The Chibok girls which the American first
lady also came out to say bring back our girls, that look its happening
and they are doing nothing about it.
Sahara Reporters: But this same America was just in Nigeria to
investigate, you know they came out and they said they didn’t find
anything.Hon. Aliyu: Well, you see, what I’m saying it is also very
convenient for America to allow him to walk for now. But they will also
tell the Americans that if America’s interest is oil in Nigeria and the
crisis in the North East can also affect the oil, the production of oil.
So I want to remind Americans the earlier they intervene in arresting
this man, the better for its America’s interest as well so that there
will be peace and tranquillity in Nigeria. So that there will be good
governance in Nigeria.
And they (America) prophesise good governance every day; Obama, keep
saying America values and so on they don’t agree with torture and so on
so the number one torturer of people in Nigeria is in America. Let them
arrest him.
Mine is one man riot squad, I know nobody in America, I don’t know
anybody to mobilize. But I can bring myself here; I brought myself, I’m
an elite where I come from in Nigeria, so I’m here on my own to also
have a one man riot squad against President Jonathan Goodluck.
Sahara Reporters: What if America doesn’t show interest in what you stand for?
Hon. Aliyu: Well, that does not mean we shall not keep fighting. We
will fight and fight. If Obama does not show interest, one day someday
another America President will come, and in the interest of the America
people also, you know in the economic interest of the America people,
they will rise up against any government of Jonathan leading the most
populated African Black Country in the world.
If there is crisis in Nigeria, imagine refugees from the Northern part
of the country, flowing into Chad, Cameroons, Niger, there will be no
peace in the whole of Western Africa.
Sahara Reporters: Thank you so much.
