The statement released yesterday January 11th by Gen Chris Olukolade below... “A total of 14 soldiers were killed in action during the attack, while over 30 who were wounded are now receiving medical attention. Most of those declared missing in action have also rejoined their unit in the ongoing reorganisation for further operations.

  I just hope President Goodluck Jonathan is not exposing himself as being afraid of Muhammadu Buhari, and as such will say anything just to rubbish him? Let's focus on the issues and not name calling! The President on Friday during a rally in Enugu said Buhari cannot remember his own mobile phone number. Jonathan, whose unscripted address was mostly a response to previous statements made by Buhari, accused the APC presidential candidate of deceiving Nigerians by promising to revive the economy without explaining how he would achieve the feat. The President wondered how Buhari would develop the country’s economy, a feat he could not achieve while he was in office as head of state between 1983 and 1985. Jonathan asked: “Is it now that Buhari cannot even remember his own phone number that he can change the economy of the country”? The PDP presidential candidate said that although he did not like to “go personal during campaigns,” but that “sometimes circumstances deman...

President Jonathan had said at a PDP rally in Lagos Thursday that MEND tried to assassinate him on two separate occasions, pointing out that the leader of the organisation, Henry Okah, now serving a jail term in South Africa over his atrocities, was paid by some people to assassinate him in 2010. This was even as an ex-militant general, Godsday Smith, alias Bouninawei (the god of the forest), said there was no way ex-agitators in the Niger- Delta region would abandon President Goodluck Jonathan for Muhammadu Buhari. But he also maintained that Jonathan’s indictment of ex-militants on plot to kill him was hasty and uncalled for, adding that there was no time ex-militants conspired against his government. Smith asked Jonathan to be bold enough to confront the North which he said was planning his downfall. But on his part, MEND’s Spokesman, Jomo Gbomo, said: “We challenge President Jonathan to come out and reveal to the nation the names of the persons he claimed paid Mr H...

The APC described Jonathan’s comment as very “petty” and “silly”, coming from a President. He said, “ It is silly and petty to say Buhari cannot remember his telephone number. For the 20 moths Buhari was in power, he ran a surplus budget and he was the first Head of State to introduce local content. Mr. President is ignorant.” Jonathan, had, while reacting to promises by Buhari that he would build the economy and fight corruption, at a rally in Enugu on Friday, asked how the APC presidential candidate would develop the economy if elected, a feat he could not achieve while he was in office as Head of State between 1983 and 1985.
