The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
Ahmadu Adamu Muazu, has refuted a claim by the Secretary to the State
Government of Borno State, Ambassador Baba Ahmed, in which he denied the
government was advised against WAEC or NECO examinations outside Maiduguri.
In a statement on the SSG’s interview with SaharaReporters
yesterday, he said Ambassador Ahmed’s denial of a letter of advice from the
Federal Ministry of Education dvising his government not to conduct the
examination outside of Maiduguri, was “a clear acceptance of the lopsided
approach by the Government in Borno State to fight insurgency in the area.”
He said that as an elder statesman and a stakeholder in this
administration, he wanted to restate that for Nigeria to win the fight against
terrorism in Nigeria, everyone must close ranks irrespective of party
affiliations and heed popular advice from any agency of the government to
curtail the activities of the Boko Haram sect.
“We owe our people the collective duty to protect and
provide for them and we wish to once again advise the Government and
stakeholders in Borno State and indeed all Nigerians to cooperate and stop this
spate of violence,” the statement said.
“As we celebrate 15 uninterrupted democracy in Nigeria, we
wish to call again on all Nigerians to join hands with President Goodluck
Jonathan, GCFR to continue to build the #NigeriaOfOurDream as there is no
alternative to democracy. Our mandate is transformation and transformation is
on course. Nigeria is one, nothing can divide us.”
