ABUJA— Former Inspector-General of Police, Alhaji Mohammadu Jimeta, yesterday, accused members of the Northern Elders Forum of pulling down pillars of national unity and "sowing seeds of enmity, divisionism and political hypocrisy to distract Nigerians from the truth" about the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan.
In a statement issued in Abuja, Alhaji Jimeta, who was reacting to statement credited to the Northern Elders Forum that the Jonathan administration was worse than that of former President Obasanjo, accused the northern elders of being mischievous and hypocritical, saying "they have all at one time or another contributed to the quagmire we find ourselves today."
However, in a statement entitled To those who cast stones: comments on the Northern Elders Forum on Nigeria at 52, Jimeta said instead of standing up against tyranny and hypocrisy to find real solutions to the nation's problems, the Northern Elders "choose the cowardly path of using this blame game as a distraction to create confusion and mistrust."
