Boko Haram is fighting for justice —PDP Chieftain

National-Chairman-PDP-Alhaji-Bamanga-Tukur

The PDP’s National Chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, on Tuesday said that Boko Haram members are fighting for justice.

Alhaji Tukur said this in Abuja when he received PDP members from Gombe State.

He said there must be justice in the country for peace to reign.

According to him, many Nigerians feel aggrieved and seek various means of airing their grievances.

He however regretted that the activities of the sect were preventing some northerners from travelling to their home states.

Tukur said there was no way angry people would control their anger when there was nothing on their stomachs.

He said, “Let there be peace in the North so that we can have security.

“We can’t even travel again because of the insecurity in the region. Boko Haram is fighting for justice. Boko Haram is another name for justice.

“People feel aggrieved. They are angry because they are hungry. Unless we remove the hunger, we too may not be able to rest.

“We should remember that a child who says his mother would not sleep will also not sleep.”

The former governor of old Gongola State said he accepted to be honoured by the members of the party from the North-East on Saturday in his village because he wanted people know that things were not working well with the people in rural areas.

He said, “People would be wondering why I took the reception to my village in Jada. And they would be asking why not a place like Abuja, where we have good roads and all that.

“I did so, so that people would know what is happening in rural areas. Those that were there must have seen the bad roads. We must help people who cannot help themselves.

“That is why we are in government. You cannot do anything unless you are committed to it. We must build this party on equity and justice.”

  1. What is wrong with this man. If Boko Haram is fighting for justice are the innocents they are killing the people that denied them of justice? I think Bamanga Tukur is going mad or he is a financial of Boko Haram for him to say this rubbish. hissssss

  2. By killing innocent men,women & kids in coldblood;by bombing markets & schools;by bombarding churches and shooting peaceful worshipers.Mr tukur,if this is ur idea of justice,then u’ve not only spat on the graves of hundreds of our children fallen by the guns of BH but u’ve also succeeded in letting the whole world know how bloodthirsty & barbaric u & ur partylikes are..& its our fervent prayer that u’ll b the next target so that justice would be complete

  3. I sincerely believe that something has gone wrong with Bamanga Tukur. Why look for the sponsors of Boko Haram when the PDP Chieftain is openingly endorsing their killing of innocent people in the name of ‘Justice’. I think he should be investigated.

  4. Who meted out these injustices that boko haram is fighting for, from what particular time to when? Oh, that Jonathan shouldn’t have contested for the presidency so that a notherner could continue. The truth behind all these is gradually coming out.

  5. Its such a huge disappointment that somebody as high placed as bamanga can make these comments. Poor Jonathan! These power hungry people are out to frustrate you just because you are not a northerner. They are all working together, those close to you and those far away from you, all are out to achieve one thing…………kick you out. Our mighty Jesus will defend you.

  6. Diz Alhaji..! If u ar talkin abt justice & bad governance., Boko Haram shld hv kil’d al d prominent bad politicians in d country, w@t hv d student, market women & d ordinary Nigerians done 4 dem 2 b use as means of exercising there grieve..? & beta lyv ur home & travel 2 other interior villages in d west, east & south..! U hd beta knw w@t u say publicly Mr Tukur..!

  7. when buhari says PDP is the biggest bh you people says he don’t know how to talk and now bamanga says injustice is the root of all this crisis you acquise him.so in your own view wht is the causes?

  8. Is this the kind of Leader PDP has? PDP in no doubt is a big disappointment to this Nation. This man TUKUR is a BIG FOOL, he should resign and have his brain checked…………………..in no doubt, TUKUR is VERY SICK UPSTAIRS. I have never seen where JUSTICE = SPILLING OF INNOCENT BLOODS.

  9. tukur, u must b in mad. Wich justice? Targeting christian worshipers, youths watchin ball, UN staff, traiders, n inocent Nigerian n u call it justice? We pray that one of ur relations or even u should b @ cross fire of d BH so dat we wil help in supportin dis type of fight for justice. Mumu

  10. Can dis man explain to me what is justice in his own knowledge? Jst 4 him to mention jst 1 mosque dat has bin bomb by dis so called justice sicker. Xtians are sufferin frm dis yeye sect. God shud pls take ova

  11. Truth is one thing that is hard to destroy. For Bamanga Turkur of all people to publicly say that boko haram is fighting for justice means that northern elders are deeply involved in the wanton destruction of innocent lives and properties of unprotected citizens of this country. Now that all the federating regions are quite ready to part ways we shouldn’t separate by killing and destroying lives and properties. This ‘ll cause a great deal of setback.
    The hour has come for referrendum that ‘ll lead us to peaceful and not violent disintergration.

  12. Tukur,if Boko Haram are angry and hungry, are they eating those they have killed in the country, most especially in the church? You, poor leaders of little or no knowledge, greedily keep your your people in darkness. You can’t deliver good things of your poor knowledge betrayed by your careless utterances. Go back to modern primary schools where kids would readily enlighten and tell you what to say as a leader in public. Did you go to school at all ?

Didn’t you asked your children what say before leaving home ? Like father Like son ?

  14. They should educate this man the meaning of justice.Wait, does it really know what he was saying? No.If security agency are really doing there work,they should arrest this man.it mean is among the sponsorer of Boko Haram.They should investigate this man.

  15. This justice would have been meaningful if the people been slaughtered are the Tukurs, Obasanjos, Babangidas,Jonathans, Allison & Ojo Maduekwes of this world. Tukur in raping NPA contributed to the hunger and injustice in the land. Their day of reckoning is coming

  16. Infact… I don’t want any president again. Let God take-over the sit Himself. Person don tire for all this small small insect buzzing around. Abeg who get sheltox! Dis is wot boko aram need from God

  17. Nigerian and all security agents, what are u people waiting for when the real sponsor of BH has reveal himself. By the statement of PDP chairman Mr. Mumu Tukur reveals that he is strongly behind BH of their insurgent and he should be properly investicated and sentence to death by acid bath. Why are BH not targeting mosque? If the federal government does not take action against this fool I swear, there would be a second civil war in this country or better still, this country will be split into several parts as possible. May God almighty punish Tukur and his entire race and keep his soul for eternal condemnation. I swear, if I can see him in person, I will feed his flesh to crocodile. Fool.

  18. Mike! Relax, i understand wot is going on. Buhari start boko haram.. Named it on pdp, for dis idiot to confirm. God don catch una. Good job, una fit say.. Una fit play with my brain? Mtcheeeeewwwww. Clpa for urselves. Noncence

  19. my pple no vex. dis man jst go sch 4 nothin sake. i mean na sch pass 2ru dis man. he no get dictionary and gud pa. folish and mad man, a member of aniamal farm. go back 2 nur nd pry nd study hard. public big fool. my pple no vex.

  20. Tukur & buhari commet which is more insiting,pls let view critically. As d chairman of pdp claiming boko haram is fighting For justice,i suggest he shud be arrested and interogated,I will not be suprise if by 2moro it’s reveal that he Is one of finacier of boko haram.

  21. I don’t even know why so call north should be part of Nigeria. From all indications, 95 percent of northern population are immigrant from Niger, Chad and part of cameroon and I will suggest all northern parts of Nigeria been disjoint and given to the above countries. Some of their elders are fool and they should go back to school and be properly oriented about Brotherhood.

  22. don’t blame all our leaders in nigeria bcos 99 percent of them are just holding certificate, they are not creative. I believe wit God power dat very soon no nigerian except foolish wil waste their finger and vote al dos criminal calling themself leader and al dis useless leader dat cannot protect their people. By dat time leader would b voted base on their technology. By dat time all d world will know dat nigerian are bless with good talented people and job wil be available 4 ALL bcos our major problem is UNEMPLOYMENT.

  23. Let the federal Government know that it has not failed, it will not fail whatever level the violent situation in the country might be deliberately carried to by the evil people. However the moment the federal government give in to these criminals and terrorist(that are now drunk with the blood of the innocent -crying for justice) in the name of dialogue, the Government may have then killed what might be seen as the last hope of righting the wrong. Moreover history would not forget the man who presided over the government that failed to give millions of souls a reason to hope for the triumph of good over evil no mather the cost. Note: If you dialogued with these demons our innocent brothers had died in vain.

  24. Is it not obvious now that the government has been compromised? The Boko haram we ar all lookin 4, who knws its from aso rock n environ. But if i may ask: wht justics? Why churches not mosques? I put it 2 d pdp chieftain that he is a suspect! He knws more abt all these attacks!

  25. My brodas half literacy is a disease. D man is just confused. We know english is a stranger to us especially d hausa man. Justice my foot 4 killing d innocent?@ gwarzo wot truth? Wot did students, corpers, prof. Leo nd prof. Ayodele do to biko haram? Tufiakwa!

  26. Tukur’s way of defining ‘justice’ is dangerous, foolish & ridiculous.If standing on the heads of others, destroying churches & killing innocent souls is the knowledge of true justice, Tukur is outside the map of education. He is a man of very low intelligence, he is a cool blooded animal whose bite is poisonous in public office. This not time to learn the limitations of kidness, Tukur should go to his viliage & use his head as a sacrificial lamb & free the heads of others whose lives are gratitudes to God & not scapegoats. Human beings can be transformed, but animals you cannot, that’s what we face in the North. How can a man let himself so down in such a virtue & he is still in a public office? Just few years of South South’s rule they have started crying blood? Let him resign & wait for his turn to sacrifice Nigerians. We will not allow people to scratch our backs after sharing our own environment with them in the name of brotherhood. We are also keeping our eyes open on the vultures of this country. No matter how clever a cat thinks, he must know that his bargain was not made with the man or the dog. So if the Buhari’s & Tukur’s think they are mejorities & could ride on us, we will tell them that the Land Use Degree Act of the seventies was not made with the Ijaws.

  27. Is he boko h spokesman? The northern politicians are using boko h to campaign. Any way let them continue marrying 7wifes with many almajiri, the average begger in north have many wifes with a lot of almajiri. So who create their poverty for them, not talk of religious mentality and sharia law which the use it to draw Nigeria backward shame on them

  28. let me ask, doz peace mean killing d innocents?, doz dis fool Bama knw d difference between peace and terrorism?
    I speak 2day wit d griv of my dear ones by dis sect and i curse der lyfs, including doz dt pray 4 em (Bama). D peace dey neva knw shall alwayz ellude em and der shall b worse dan dt of Pharoh

  29. I always tell people not to pass judgement bcos there’s mejority, “its for the gods to seal a matter and the glory of the king to find it out” Going by majority is a satan way of gaining its ground.
    Wakeup naija!!! sake the truth and holdon to it. there are many matter behind close doors and little by little they will be unfolding then the wise no who fit the presidential seat.
    Cast your vote to the right person by fellow naija.

  30. This is to show you the calibre of leadership we have in PDP and in Nigeria. the man Mamanga Tukur wants to be on the good books of Boko Haram…so the bombing of churches and killing students who gather for fellowship is the justice they are looking for, may the next bomb be in his house and upon his wife and children so that justice will be well served. divide the country Jareee..we cant live with mad people

  31. It is sad that certain individuals in the country are so myopic…the poverty in the north goes way back to the 1960’s. The north has been a victim of its own leaders,right from the days off the revered Aminu Kano…what happens to all the allocation that the northern governors receive?.. go to Gombe, it is appalling. Let them stop making muslims out as illiterates…and islam as a jihad driven religion for buhari he does not speak for the north…he is a frustrated politician..

  32. It is very painful peter,but asking God for the impossibilities is want HE will not do. Mamanga tukur has said something and is for you to search the truth bearing in mind that the press is not helping matters.

  33. Which kind of fighting justice is dat,boko haram has no justice 2 fight 4 Gods sake. wt do they want Nigeria 2 do 4 them?,makn the whole nation alah worshiper,scrabing education or wht. One thing wt dis northerners is dat dey claim being cheated al de tym. Go to eastern region dey ar de developer of themselves,entrepreneur as well. Northern hav d best and quality access federal and state road in nigeria. Lets stop decieving ourselves,boko halam and dia sponsors are blind nd confuse, i believe, one by one u wil regret ur act 2 nigeria and d blood u waste u shal answere 4 dat believe it or not.

  34. Kai, Nigeria is not country! Look at this shit! If an eastern or southerner made this statement, he wld’ve being nullified,castigated n arrested. Infact d brohala over it won’t die down in many yrs to come. But here,it’s nothing;he n his brothers are sacred cows n untouchable. To make matters worst,this brain damaged,demented n senile idiot sits over a party dat is in Governance n to which I belong to! I feel sorry for him n his cohorts. Let it pain them harder even to their bone marrows-Weda they like it or not,GEJ is there for 4 yrs. D problem is dat he refuses to correct d injustice done to d south 50+yrs ago. Instead he is playing nationalist. We in south are keenly WATCHING!!!

  35. Lol! Hahaha! I said it earlier that 80% of hausa back &sponsored boko h. Nigeria dont have boundary, 40% of chadians /70% of Niger republic are every where here in Nigeria and we are counting them as Nigeria . North is arctech of their problem.common bigger in north have more Thames 4wifes with a lot almajiri on the ground…. Gej said it that boko h is even on his cabinet but we didn’t understand what he mean. Now the sponsors of boko h are coming out openly by one. Still we Nigeria never understand uptill now. Nigeria awake. Animal jungle country call Nigeria

  36. I read through all ur selfish & unreason comments. North produced the 1st president-graduate(we are not less educationally developed) & u have seen it when ur region lost peace while he brought it back to stability & harmony. I wonder the way u are taking all these speaches for granted(Azazi‘s, Bamanga‘s & H. Okah‘s) just wait & see what will happen in the near future. Bastards………

  37. IT IS HIGH TIME THE UNPOPULAR BOKO HARAM WHICH SEEMS TO BE A FORMULATED POLITICAL EMBARRASSMENT TOTALLY ERADICATED IN NIGERIA. …TO BE SINCERE, NIGERIAN ELITES SHOULD BE A ROLE MODEL TO THE YOUTHS IN THE SPHERE OF POLITY. ARE WE SURE THOSE WHO ARE USING THIS UNREGISTERED POLITICAL NAME TO EMBARRASS INNOCENT NIGERIANS ARE THEY NOT DOING THIS TO PREVENT PROPER ACCOUNTABILITY OF NIGERIAN WEALTH BOTH HOME AND ABROAD???? THIS IS A QUESTION THEY SHOULD ANSWER ALL NIGERIANS FROM THE NORTH TO THE SOUTH,FROM THE EAST TO THE WEST!! THEY SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT NIGERIA AS A COUNTRY INVESTMENT ABROAD SHOULD BE ACRUEING CERTAIN PROFIT FROM TIME TO TIME .. THOSE WHO SET THE BOKO HARAM ARE THE NOT THE CAUCUS WHO WILL NOT ALLOW NIGERIA AS A NATION TO KNOW A BIT OF( RONIA); RETURNS ON NIGERIA INVESTMENT ABROAD!!! THEY SHOULD PLEASE STOP PERMANENTLY THEIR BOKO HARAM ISSUE IN NIGERIA.EVERY NATION IS VYING FOR PROGRESS YOU ARE BUSY SHOUTING BOKO HARAM IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY WHAT A STUPID IDEAS!!! PLEASE PUT A FULL STOP TO IT !!

  38. turkey or turkor which ever 1 b ur name since na justice BOKO RAM dey fight nor worry when mosque and dollar mkt don begin dey receive bomb i sure say u go still com out say na justice? abi una think say we go continue dey look make una dey kill our pple den u wey fat like melu go com dey tell us say na justice………… make una just wait…….dis yeye 9ja wey una dey call go break into pieces just na b4 una very eyes

  39. Oga Alahaji, may d Amighty Alah
    forbid what you said, Have u ever seen where one gains peace through violence? You may be innocent, but your words had proved that u re one of the BH sponsors.

    You did not speak as a leader. But as a learner,

  40. I think bamaga is confused, who is talkin about justice here, has he forgotten how he stole Sabiya’s mandate in Gongola? Even after the court ruled that Sabiya won the election ten years later yet he is addressed as former governor of Gongola, where is justice? If he want to talk about justice, ya nuna gurbi mai kyau ya fadawa duniya gaskiya. For him to even say Boko Haram means justice is total deception what has boko or haram as concepts got to do with the concept of justice? Is he trying to invent another dictionary? let him try harder this one cannot work.

  41. I’m disappointd with PDP National chairman 4 making such a statement,which Justice BOKO HARAM are fighting.this man is also a BOKO HARAM member,GEJ should be very careful with him. there is a time 4 everything!

  42. its a pity to hear dis comment of boko haram seeking 4 justice coming frm Tukur.
    Mr. Tukur are u saying dat boko haram killing is legal and necessary…and cant b spoken against?
    If i were d president, i wd cal u to order, thereafta press 4 u to b relievd of ur duty bc u’re as damgerous as boko haram…

  43. Things are not well in your rural areas, what did you do to develop these areas when you are governor of your state? How many years was the power with the northerners?. Why are these rural areas not developed throughout these years? Take your fights to your leaders and leave us to live in peace. Is bombing of churches justices to you? Almost all Nigeria passed leaders are muslims why did boko haRAM not surface then? YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO BE THE PARTY CHAIRMAN OF THE RULING PARTY. Shame on you.

  44. Even if u tink u can convince ppl no body is a kid to even listen to u cos boko haram ar fightin 4 religion tryin to subdue and supress christianity but i asure u it is impossible anyway it will not b suprising if u ar one of dea sponsors cos dey hav never attacked any mosque al dey want is a muslim country even tryin to take ova jos and kaduna but must a muslim man b d president? Absolutely no!

  45. in short I lack d kind of words to qualify this fool wit. As a pdp leader he’s sayin all ds robish. As U said ‘pikin weh say him mama no go sleep him too no go sleep’ very soon u too wil not go to ur home bcos of boko haram. So wot u ar sayin now is dt d west/south/easterners should start kiling al d muslims their states and bombing dr mosque in order to fight justice. U and ur bloodsuckers wil account for d soulls u hv send to dr early graves bcos of ur iliteracy. U ar notin but a fat baboon. Idiot

  46. My problem is dat christians fail 2 undastand d cause of boko haram if dey tink is because of power dat northerners loose y boko haram did nt stop dia attack when yara’adua was president? Or is he nt a northerner? Infact boko haram attack reach d apex level during yara’adua admstratn. U pple shld shun analysis dat is ethnic or religious incline. Abi una no go skul?
