The All Progressives Congress on Sunday said by failing to visit Chibok, Borno State, where over 200 schoolgirls were abducted by Boko Haram since April 14, President Goodluck Jonathan had betrayed Nigerians who voted him into office.

The party said the cancellation of the allegedly planned presidential visit to Chibok was indicative of the Jonathan administrations policy flip-flop in the fight against Boko Haram.

In a statement in Lagos, its Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, APC said the Jonathan administration had bungled the fight against the sect and exhibited cluelessness in handling the abduction of the schoolgirls.

The party said, With his utterances and actions or inaction, President Jonathan has deepened the pains of the parents and guardians of the girls, and indeed that of the whole nation, when he should have been the consoler-in-chief at such a difficult time for a nation he leads.

A President and Commander-in-Chief, who is afraid to visit any part of his country, has betrayed the very people who voted him into office. In the case of Chibok, he has shown that the residents of the town should not expect to be seen as compatriots by their own President; hence they are on their own.

APC accused Jonathans administration of lying to Nigerians by saying the President never planned to visit Chibok, even when it was widely reported that the Presidents advance team had landed in Borno State.

The party described the Presidents explanation that he did not go to Chibok because the girls were not being held there as pedestrian.

The most important battle in politics today is the one within the Republican Party, and the tea party movement didnt start it. The GOPs civil war began in 1912 when Teddy Roosevelt made progressivism the governing philosophy of the Republican establishment.

For the 102 years since, the conflict has been between limited-government constitutional conservatives and the proponents of big government and the big spending that goes with it.

It has been waged with conservative Republicans, such as Sens. Robert A. Taft, Barry Goldwater and Jesse Helms, on one side, and big-government Republicans, such as Presidents Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford and New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, on the other.

Many thought, wrongly, that the conservatives won with the election of Ronald Reagan and his coalition of economic, national defense and social conservatives. But todays Republican establishment frequently invokes President Reagan while also pursuing a progressive agenda at odds with his principles. Big-government Republicans today include Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Speaker John Boehner, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor and Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus.

Make no mistake, the establishment GOP is not the political home of conservatives.

To understand todays battles, and the rise of the tea party movement, one must understand that the tea party is as much or more a rebellion against the entrenched leadership of the Republican Party as it is a reaction to specific policies of President Barack Obama. Conservatives have learned that establishment Republican leaders are not merely incapable of stopping the progressive agenda but have been complicit in its expansion. GOP leaders have talked a good game when they are up for election, but they all too often vote for, or refuse to fight, the funding of most big-government programs.

The lesson for conservatives? We have been pointing our political guns at the wrong target.

Conservatives are not going to get to the political Promised Land and be able to govern America according to conservative principles until flawed, big-government Republican leaders are replaced with constitutional conservatives. And the people are with us. For example, Gallup reports that 72 percent of respondents to a 2013 poll said that big government is a greater threat to the U.S. in the future than is big business or big labor, a record high in the nearly 50-year history of this question.

The place to stop the progressive agenda is first within the GOP. Conservatives have finally come to realize that the fate of the presidents agenda for his final two years will actually be decided in Republican primaries. The Obama agendas fate lies with conservatives such as Sens. Rand Paul, Ted Cruz and Mike Lee, and Reps. Tom McClintock, Justin Amash and Tim Huelskamp, who have defeated Republicans of a progressive bent in the primaries and gone on to win general elections.

We are already seeing an alliance of big-government interests, such as the Republican Main Street Partnership, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Facebook billionaire Mark Zuckerberg, joining forces to tilt upcoming Republican primaries in favor of big-government GOP candidates. Long-term, this alliance can be devastating to Republican political prospects.
