Shettima Reveals Top Politicians Are Sabotaging War Against Boko Haram

Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno State has accused unnamed members of the cabal of top politicians from the state of trying to undermine efforts at curbing terrorism in the troubled state.
Shettima, who disclosed this in a statement by his Special Adviser on Communications, Mr. Bello Gusau, said the cabal is working hard and using the media to destroy the existing harmony between him, the Presidency and the security services, especially the military, adding that the group went as far as publishing a false interview with a certain Boko Haram suspect who allegedly named Shettima as a sponsor of the Boko Haram sect.

"The cabal, made up of some discontented politicians, some serving and former leaders, has a single agenda which is to create problems between the Presidency, military and the Borno State Government in order to dubiously secure the political blessings of the Presidency and top ranks of the military with a view to seizing control of the military, the police force and State Security Service, divert the security’s attention away from counter insurgency, drag them into politics, destabilise the polity and use security agencies in furthering their political ambitions ahead of the 2015 elections," the statement read.
According to him, the cabal was trying to drag the military into politics and undermining the joint efforts to combat terrorism in Borno state, Punch reports.
Dissociating himself from a Facebook account, bearing the name and picture of Governor Kashim Shettima, he said speculations making the rounds that he had vowed to undermine President Goodluck Jonathan’s 2015 re-election bid was part of the plot to break the relationship between him and the President.
The statement added that Gov. Shettima was particularly concerned about the incessant killings of Borno state citizens and the need for a synergy between the state and federal establishments to sustain a coordinated fight against insurgency so as to secure precious human lives and property.
Boko Harm has been terrorising Borno, killing people and razing villages. In April, the deadly sect abducted over 200 girls from their school in Chibok community. Yesterday morning, a bomb explosion occurred at the busy Monday Market close to the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) building in Maiduguri which left at least 18 people dead with 55 others severely injured.
In a bid to check their activities, on 14 May 2013, President Goodluck Jonathan had declared a state of emergency in Borno State, along with it’s neighboring Adamawa and Yobe State.
