The Founder of the Oodua Peoples\u2019 Congress (OPC), Dr Frederick Fasehun, on Wednesday described Nigerians as timid people who could not come together to fight a common enemy.<\/p>\n

He said; \u201cNigerians are too timid. We watch thieves operate and simply run away. We see things we could report or come together to fight but look the other way.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

He lamented the lack of zeal by Nigerians to help tackle the insecurity across the nation.<\/p>\n

The OPC leader however, urged the Federal Government to\u00a0chose a team to dialogue with members of the\u00a0Boko Haram sect.<\/p>\n

Fasehun told journalists in Lagos that mediation must\u00a0come soonest, to avoid more casualties.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere must be people that the Boko Haram will listen to. These people are Nigerians and they can be reached\u2013 but it must be by people they can listen to,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

According to him, Nigeria is not short of personalities that the sect can trust enough to tell their grievances.<\/p>\n

He said bombing of churches cast doubt on the known grouse of the sect.\u201cIf the Boko Haram is against Western Education, how come they do not go bombing schools?\u2019\u2019 he asked.<\/p>\n

Fasehun stressed the need for security operatives to open up and let Nigerians know and understand the grouse of the sect.<\/p>\n

He said that the situation might seem hard to tackle but difficult situations sometimes were resolved by simple solutions.<\/p>\n

NAN reports that the sect, which claimed responsibility for the Christmas Day bombings, has also threatened\u00a0further attacks\u00a0on New Year eve. (NAN)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
