Boko Haram members are in govt – Jonathan

PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan, yesterday, painted a gloomy picture of the membership and activities of the deadly Islamic sect, Boko Haram, saying the group has successfully infiltrated the three arms of government at the federal level.
This is just as General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, challenged Nigerian Christians and their Muslim counterparts to work hand-in-hand to find a way to eradicate the menace of Boko Haram and other terror groups in the country.
The President also identified the twin evils of greed and selfishness which are the single largest breeders of corruption, as the greatest challenges militating against the nation’s economic progress in the 21st century, saying the greed of one man can lead to the corruption of a whole nation.
Speaking at an inter-denominational church service to mark the 2012 Armed Forces Remembrance Day celebration at the National Christian Centre, Jonathan decried the membership spread of the group within the North, but vowed to stem the menace in no distant time.
He explained that some members of the sect were in the executive, legislative and judiciary arms of government as well as the armed forces, adding that the situation had made it more difficult to combat the nation’s security challenges headlong.
Jonathan described the present security situation in the country as worse than the civil war experience, insisting that “this is a particular time when the country has major security challenges. There are explosions everyday, people are dying and are being killed daily without any reason.
