Frontline Yoruba leader and national leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, weekend, described President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration as a failed government.
He observed that after 100 years of existence, Nigeria has nothing to show for it.
The former Lagos state Governor said this in Ado-Ekiti, during a condolence visit to Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State over the death of his Deputy, Mrs Funmilayo Olayinka.
He warned the Federal Government against offering blanket amnesty to members of Islamist extremists, Boko Haram.


According to him, the planned amnesty should only be offered to groups that were fighting for justice.
He said, “Amnesty must bring about justice and should be selective. It must not be a blanket approach. Those venting anger on Nigeria because there is no justice in the system should be offered amnesty.
“But those causing trouble under another guise, should be prosecuted and sent to jail. No one religion can eliminate the other in Nigeria. Nigeria is a secular state.
“The Constitution recognises us as people and not as Muslims or Christians. So we should be able to apply a holistic approach to settle our problems.”
Tinubu said. “It is disheartening for Nigeria to be clueless after its 100th year of existence and 53rd year of independence. This has shown that the present government has nothing to offer Nigerians.
“President Jonathan and Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, have failed in terms of security.
“Security is the engine room of industrial development. No country would partner with you when you are not secured.”
