The Ijaw Monitoring Group, IMG, has called on Nigeria's Vice-President, Namadi Sambo to relocate to Borno state. The group made this call while faulting the the directive by the Senate that the Chief of Army Staff, COAS, should relocate to Borno State.
According to VANGUARD,Comrade Joseph Evah, National Coordinator of IMG, said, "I am disappointed that the Senate would be asking the Chief of Army Staff to relocate to Borno State. They should have asked the President to order Vice-President Namadi Sambo to relocate to Borno State.
"Why can’t the Senate tell the Chief of Defence Staff, who coordinates other Service Chiefs, to relocate. When there was crisis in the Niger Delta, late President Umaru Yar’Adua never asked the then COAS to relocate to the Niger Delta. Instead, he asked Goodluck Jonathan (then Vice-President) to relocate to the Niger Delta.
"Jonathan relocated to Oporozza in Delta State where he met with Niger Delta governors and militants. The militants, he recalled, gave conditions, and the conditions were tabled before Yar’ Adua. We are now telling Jonathan, the way Yar’Adua sent you, you should also direct Namadi Sambo to go and meet Boko Haram.
"The way Jonathan entered into a canoe to meet the militants in the creeks, let Sambo climb a donkey or camel to Bauchi, Borno, or Kano State, along with the governors and political leaders in the North, to meet Boko Haram", Evah added.
