IBADAN—ACTION Congress of Nigeria, ACN, has said terrorists’ insurgency in the northern part of the country assumed dangerous dimension because it was badly managed by the President Goodluck Jonathan-led administration.

The party spoke through its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed during the presentation of relief materials by Afro media Plc to Governor Abiola Ajimobi for victims of last year flood disaster.

He said, if the confrontation of the group which started as a local dispute occasioned by alleged marginalization, was properly handled, it would not have reached this unmanageable level, arguing that unless President Goodluck Jonathan opened negotiation with the group, peace may continue to elude the country.

Earlier, Governor Ajimobi said the state had begun massive rehabilitation and construction of roads to prevent another occurrence of last year flood disaster which killed hundreds of people.

He said no fewer than 192 roads were being rehabilitated and constructed in the state and noted drainages that had blocked for several years without attention were being cleared to allow easy flow of water.

Speaking earlier, the Group Managing Director and Chief executive Officer of Afro Media Plc, Mr. Akin Ire Olapade, said his company was sad when they heard about the devastating flood disaster.

Others that were in the team are directors of the company, Alhaji Gobi Mohammed, Mr. Nwachukwu, Mr. Dele Aina and Mr. Williams.
