'Jonathan should have fought Boko Haram a long time ago' says singer

Nigerian music export Nneka has shared her thoughts on the President Goodluck Jonathan and his postponement of the general elections in Nigeria.

In an interview with CNN.com, the singer spoke about the political situation in the country, the elections and the president. According to her Goodluck Jonathan should have dealt with the issue of Boko Haram before the elections that was scheduled to hold originally on February 28.

"He [Goodluck Jonathan] says he wants to tackle Boko Haram, obviously every Nigerian is asking why now, he could had done it a long time ago..." she said.

Nneka went on to further say she wasn't blaming the idea, and hopes he comes out with a good strategy to defeat the terrorist group. "I'm not good at the whole blaming game, I don't want to blame anybody but I pray that he comes up with a good idea for us if he is an honest and genuine guy."

Nneka who is known for her politically charged songs also said that outspoken singers would not have a good relationship with the President.

"But I know that would definitely not be cool with him, is not cool with him, and many other musicians who are very outspoken are not cool with him" she stated.

The general elections in Nigeria will now take place on March 28, 2015.
