ABEOKUTA- The Spokesperson for the Atiku Campaign Organisation, Segun Showunmi has wondered how those in charge of Nigeria ‘sleep at night’ and ‘how they swallow their food’, following the recent massacre of farmers in Warmabari community in Borno state by Boko Haram bandits.

In an article made available to Ametrocopy titled ‘Borno Massacre: This is not who we are’, the outspoken political commentator also wondered if ‘the international world order has failed for at least the people of my country’.

In a pool of rhetorics, Showunmi asked ‘If the leaders of the world could go into Iraq, Libya, and so many other locations with combined special forces under an international mandate from the United Nations; indeed if #NigerianLivesMatter, what are they waiting for?’

“I wonder how those in charge sleep at night? How do they swallow their food? Thinking about the farmers, I have been so sad and destruct. I have asked one million questions to find peace within my soul as to how this became the lot of our citizens in our beloved Nigeria”, he said.

According to him, it is hard waking up daily to news of mindless killings of the people.

Showunmi who believes that ‘it is not enough for international news outlets’ headlines to scream about the insurgency in Nigeria’, said ‘Our shared humanity and the doctrine of state responsibility within the United Nations protocols ought to tell them that Nigeria on its own, cannot deal with this menace.’

He noted that it is hard to accept that Nigerians are the ones killing themselves on this scale wondering if “this is not some covert external conspiracy against Africa’s most populous country.”

He prayed for peace to envelop the hearts of the relatives of the victims and that the world be inspired to hurry up and come to the rescue of Nigeria as the nation must not sink.

“As for those in charge of the country today, I have no words for you all, except to say when reform is overdue, there is no bigger assignment than to make those reforms happen. We cannot continue like this’, Showunmi concluded.
