Boko Haram: NNPP Warns FG On Foreign Aids
The New Nigerian
Peoples Party (NNPP) in Rivers State has cautioned the Federal Government to be careful in accepting foreign aid in the fight against terrorism.
The Chairman of the party, Deacon Princewill Enyi who gave the advice in Port Harcourt over the weekend, said there no atom of assistance foreign counties will give to the third world countries without an interior motive.
According to him, “the foreign aids to fight terrorism in Nigeria is a welcome development, but we should be very careful the manner we accept them.
“The terrorism issue in the country is political, if we cannot check the high level of the activities of Boko Haram, and decide to accept foreign assistance, there is nothing wrong about it”, he said.
The NNPP chairman said the party was working to be relevant in the next dispensation as more members are joining the party in the state.
He, however, allaged fears that the ruling party may want to use the opportunity of the foreign aids to siphon money with the excuse of maintaining the peace mission.
Enyi regretted the high level of corruption in the country since 2011, saying the current leadership in the country was not acting promptly.
He urged Nigerians to vote against corruption in the 2015 general elections, assuring that NNPP would usher in credible leadership in the next elections.
Meanwhile, the NNPP boss has commended the State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Johnson Tunde Ogunshakin for stepping down the political tension in the state.
He, however, expressed dissatisfaction with the present leadership in the state for non-inclusive government, saying appointments should be made on merits rather than on party affiliations.
