Goodluck Jonathan is chief sponsor of Boko Haram

Adamu Aliyu, former Nigerian MP 
Former member of the National Assembly, Farouk Adamu Aliyu has described President Jonathan as a weak leader who is financing the activities of the Boko Haram sect. Aliyu asked President Obama’s assistance to arrest President Goodluck Jonathan as he is allegedly working with the dreaded sect to terrorize the country.

In an interview with SaharaTV, the ex lawmaker said he has documented evidence that could lead to the arrest of President Jonathan, saying that the President was conspiring with alleged Boko Haram sponsors.
    Farouk Aliyu further said there were two Boko Haram: one which is led by the Boko Haram leader, Shekarau and the other led by President Goodluck Jonathan.
    The former member of the Nigerian National Assembly made explosive allegations regarding President Goodluck Jonathan, who he claims is the “invisible leader” of the terror group, Boko Haram. Aliyu plans to “solicit the assistance and cooperation of President Obama” to arrest the Nigerian President.
    Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau “congratulated the Islamic State (IS) for its advances in Iraq and Syria” in July and has now declared an “Islamic caliphate” in the northeastern town of Gwoza in Borno State in a video released over the weekend, as reported at the BBC. 
    SaharaTV interviewed Farouk Adamu Aliyul, who claimed that the Nigerian government is “making noise” about the Christian schoolgirls that were kidnapped by the terror group (and later forcefully “converted” to Islam), but not addressing the terrorists “on the ground.” Aliyu also claimed that the military, who has been accused of conducting their own terror attacks, has never been to Sambisa forest, a known “key stronghold for Islamic insurgents.”
    Farouk Adamu Aliyu criticized the government further by saying that they are taking part in frivolous activities while the threat continues. Speaking of President Jonathan, he questioned an alleged 20 billion dollars missing from the government coffers. “He is not serious. He does not want peace in this country,” Aliyu said.

    While America has been focused on the Islamic State in the wake of their highly polished social media onslaught, Boko Haram has been busily continuing their long reign of terror in northern Nigeria. It was also reported last month that the terror group uses girls as young as 10 years old for suicide bombings. In June, Boko Haram militants slaughtered 200 civilians in attacks on three villages, forcing more than 1,000 from their homes into hills bordering Cameroon where they remained trapped without food or shelter.
    Abubakar Shekau gained notoriety for kidnapping hundreds of school girls from the Government Secondary School, Chibok, in Borno State in April, resulting in the #BringBackOurGirls campaign. Abubakar Shekau mocked the “bring back our girls” effort, releasing a video where he says, “bring back our army.”
    President Obama announced the deployment of “80 military personnel” in the effort to assist with the rescue of the girls. Little has been reported on their progress and the story seems to have faded away even as the girls are still missing.

Administration claim:
Boko Haram is not driven by religion

    In 2012, U.S. former Assistant Secretary of State for Africa Ambassador Johnnie Carson stressed that despite the vast majority of attacks aimed at Christians and churches, Boko Haram is not motivated by ideology but rather “intended to inflame religious tensions and upset the nation’s social cohesion.” At a forum on U.S. policy toward Nigeria, he said “religion is not driving extremist violence either in Jos or northern Nigeria.”
    Boko Haram has attacked mosques and police stations if they find them to be “insufficiently Islamic,” according to an article by CNN, but the vast majority of attacks are on Christians, as reported at Liberty Unyielding.
    At the 23:40 minute mark, Carson said,
    “I want to take this opportunity to stress one key point and that is that religion is not driving extremist violence either in Jos or northern Nigeria.”
