National Chairman of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) Bisi Akande yesterday described the spate of bombings in the North allegedly sponsored by an Islamic sect, Boko Haram, as a sign of silent revolution brewing in the country.

He warned that the trend would “engulf the nation like a wild-fire if immediate measures are not applied to curb it.”

Speaking with reporters yesterday at his country home in Ila-Orangun, Osun State, Akande said: “Whether what is going on  either  Boko Haram or Niger Delta militancy, it is all a sign of dissatisfaction, sign of anger of the vibrant youths of this nation against the government.

“Jonathan is in power. He should see it all. He has all the facts but it is a pity if he can’t handle the situation.

“If I am in power and I cannot handle the situation, then it means I am inefficient.

“Though some people have sympathy for him, but it is a regret that the President has failed to handle the situation.”

He also explained why the Federal Government cannot convince Nigerians on the need for oil subsidy removal.

The ACN chair said Nigerians could no longer trust the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government led by President GoodluckJonathan.

He said the PDP had told Nigerians many lies and made many promises  which it had failed to fulfill.

His words: “Everybody in Nigeria has become distrustful of the PDP government.

“And when you don’t trust a government, no matter what it says or promises you find it difficult to trust and believe.

“The PDP had told Nigerians so many lies about so many things in the past. So whatever they are saying about fuel subsidy sounds false to so many Nigerians.

“To my mind, I do not see any reason not to subsidise what is being manufactured in this country. Such a subsidy will go to the suppliers, the workers and everybody in this country. But when you are saying you have been subsidising something being imported and manufactured in another country, you will have a big burden to let us know how and why it is so. Because before you subsidise, you have to consider so many costs, particularly cost of importation and many others before you add your selling price.”

The ACN leader, who was governor of Osun State between 1999 and 2003, said the government must first tell Nigerians why all the refineries in the country are killed and they have failed to wake them up and make them function to benefit Nigerians and boost the nation’s economy.”

Can these people ever call a spade by its name?

Where is Apga ?

National Chairman of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) Bisi Akande yesterday described the spate of bombings in the North allegedly sponsored by an Islamic sect, Boko Haram, as a sign of silent revolution brewing in the country.

It is easy to see that Bisi Akande is an unrefined fool.

Seems like a typical trait of a certain type of people. Always on the fence.

No one trusts ACN either. They are bigger thieves .

Perhaps this is what the revolution is truly about

A former governor of the old Kaduna State, Alhaji Lawan Kaita recently took the agitation for a “northern president” in 2011 to a worrisome dimension. He was reported as saying that the North would make the country ungovernable for President Goodluck Jonathan if he emerged the winner of the forthcoming election.

“ANYTHING short of a northern president is tantamount to stealing our presidency. Jonathan has to go and he will go. Even if he uses incumbency power to get his nomination on the platform of the PDP, he will be frustrated out,” he was quoted as saying. He further said that the North should not be blamed for the calamity that would befall Nigeria if Jonathan emerged as the president.

Yet ibos are begging an insane PDP to give them presidency in 2015 ? Why do guys lie a lot ?

Bunch of cowards and noise makers.

This is not a time to play politics. Disappointing words from Bisi Akande

Call a spade a spade, stop talking from the political side. ACN is not different from PDP !

Any Revolution,whether 'silent or noisy' should be directed to the Government not on Harmless Citizen that went to Church.F-u.ck Akande and his F-u.cking analyses,

how can you say bombing is a sign of anything silent. It is loud.

Bisi or whatever they call you, is easy for you to play politics when Nigerians are being murdered by Bokoharamians. Have you lost any loved one to the Bokos?, i suppose not, that's why you have guess to be playing politics with the blood of innocent Nigerians murdered by Boko haram. How could you compare the outright kills of innocent Nigerians by bokoharam with genuine quest for justice by the people of Niger Delta. That shows how some so called leaders reason, ii is indeed pathetic. Am sorry for you

This man is really loosing his face, how can he be saying such a thing, i suppose he is an elder? don't he knows that someone who wants to wreck havoc on people always find it easier than the one protecting people.

Nigerian hate the truth sha?
what do you expect the man to do/
give GEj a pat on the back for condoning terrorism and being clueless all this while?
buncha M0r0ns

the tin tire me oh !!! The man yarn im own as a Nigerian and them dey condemn

I wonder how far Bisi Akande will go to sell his own mother and his own kids to feel his pocket. What kind of animal would call boko harams bombing of innocent women and children a revolution? Those who have died are generally young enough to have as well been his grandchildren or his childrens newborns. How can a man be such a fool in his old age?

What a cold blooded id!ot!

Apparently Beaf does not know Bisi Akande, the man has hit the nail on the head, if others are unwilling to say it, he will say it as it is, let the President do his job, the time for I no get shoe is past, we need him to act.

hmmmmm

why are you blasting the guy - are you not doing what you must to survive

I guess this guy called beaf lacks home training. How can you called an old man a fool someone that is old enough to be your grandfather, why do you want to die young? Remember honour your father and your mother so that your days may long on earth mind you it's not your parents alone but any that is old enough to be you parents. Please, find a better way of adressing an elder.

bisi = goat
akande = dum.b goat
playing politics with d life of the dead.
i wish him and his family painful death!

If chief akande can make a statement such as this and he would be termed a goat then what should we term President clueless jonathan for this statement "Bombs are here to stay and they would soon fade away" when people are dying on a daily basis, I have said it time without number that these men should stop talking they should allow their media officer do the talking they seem not to be able to empathize with the masses because of too much airconditioning it blocks them from the real world.
