APC to President Jonathan: Compensate Boko Haram Victims NowAyo Balogun, LagosThe All Progressive Congress (APC) has called on President Goodluck Jonathan to as a matter of urgency compensate victims of Boko Haram attacks and killings.
Interim National Chairman of APC, Chief Bisi Akande, who spoke in Sokoto, Nigeria, said the APC disagreed with President Goodluck Jonathan’s stand that the Federal Government would not compensate the victims of the Boko Haram killings dating back to 2009, when the ongoing mindless and callous killings started.
Akande stated that after the people were victimized by Boko Haram, they were now being victimized by their government, saying this is unacceptable, and that Jonathan must have a rethink.
He said the APC believed that the issue of compensation for victims of Boko Haram should not be subject to any debate as all victims of the Boko Haram insurgency must be compensated without delay.
“President Jonathan must not only ensure that the victims of Boko Haram insurgency are compensated, he must strengthen his resolve to ensure that Nigerians are well protected and catered for, irrespective of where they reside in the country.
