The Lagos State House of Assembly has accused President Goodluck Jonathan of placing his political ambition over National Security. The assembly also condemned the persistent killing of innocent Nigerians in the North East by the Boko Haram.
A statement issued by Hon Segun Olulade Olulade, Chairman, House Committee on Information, Strategy, Security and Publicity, on behalf of the assembly read, "The inability of the government to find clues to solving the region’s menace is a breach of trust on the part of Mr President’s pledge to protect life and property as contained in the oath he swore to as president of this country.
"Lives and properties are of no importance in this country anymore; the number of people being killed like fowls is very disturbing and heart-breaking by the day. It is a signal of a failed government at the centre; failure of the state of emergency in the three most affected states is failure of government.
The statement further expressed shock that President Jonathan was touring the country, lobbying traditional rulers to support his re-election bid while hundreds of people where being killed in parts of the country.
"Obviously, Mr President is telling us that his ambition is worth the blood of millions of Nigerians contrary to what he used to say that his ambition is not worth the blood of one Nigerian", the statement concluded.
