God Punishes Nigeria With Boko Haram -Chinwoke Mbadinuju

Ex-governor of Anambra State Chinwoke Mbadinuju, has defined Boko Haram terrorism as God’s punishment on Nigeria.

Mbadinuju said this while announcing his defection from the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC).

Former governor said the terrorism would not decrease until the country embraces justice.

“I believe Boko Haram is part of God’s judgment upon our country,” he said.

“The insurgency will not abate until we embrace justice in the land. Sodom and Gomorrah may soon be child’s play if care is not taken, and it is for this reason that we know now that injustice begat corruption no matter how we paint it.”

The former Anambra governor noted that he was leaving the ruling party because of the prejudices in the PDP.

On decamping to opposition, he said: “It is necessary to join the APC now because it is the right thing to do.

“While the APC has proved itself a promising party of present and future, we can all see glaringly that everything good about the PDP has since vanished.

“The PDP became an unjust and unfair political party with no truth in its mouth, no compassion in its heart, no sincerity in its purpose and its action always intrinsically self-serving and deceitful.

“In spite of the fact that as governor of Anambra state, I did my utmost best to improve the lot of our people in a spate of four years, against a tremendous but utterly needless opposition by members of the party in the state in collaboration with the presidency in Abuja, I was the only serving governor that the PDP unjustly denied its ticket for a second term.

“The party behaved as if it never wronged me nor wronged the vast population of Anambrarians whose lives I have touched while superintending the state as governor. Together with our supporters, we were ignored and the government at the centre operated and still operates as if PDP members never existed in Anambra state.

“Whosoever the government patronised turned out to be dishonest or turned into a mediocre, thus making dishonesty and mediocrity take the centre-stage of government and politics in the country. We painfully endured it for long, hoping that with the leadership things would also change. But from Obasanjo to Yar’ adua and to Jonathan, nothing changed; if anything the situation kept getting worse and worse.”

Mbadinuju further noted that his decision to join the APC was informed by the need to get the country out of its present “quagmire”. ‎

”Obviously, things cannot continue like that, lest society collapses. It is therefore the responsibility, nay duty, of all God-fearing citizens and men of good standing in our country to do something so as to get us out of the present national quagmire,” he noted.

He added that he was giving his “unflinching support” to the candidature of Muhammadu Buhari and asked all Nigerians to vote for the APC in the 2015 general election.

Ahead of the general 2015 elections a lot of the members of the ruling party dumped to the opposition.

The latest shocking defection was when former President Olusegun Obasanjo tore his membership cardlast Monday, February 16th.
