Former
president Obasanjo has blamed the immediate past president, Goodluck
Jonathan for trivializing the distress call to rescue the girls on the
day they were abducted.
Speaking at an event organized by the Staff Club of the Obafemi
Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State, Nigeria's former president,
Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, on Friday, doubted the ability of the President
Muhammadu Buhari’s Federal Government to rescue the abducted Chibok
girls alive, adding that anyone saying the girls would return was simply
lying.
Obasanjo’s reaction follows several promises by the current
administration that it would rescue the abducted Chobok girls alive. The
ex president, however blamed the immediate past President, Goodluck
Jonathan, for trivializing the distress call to rescue the girls on the
day they were abducted.
He said, "The former president heard about the kidnap 8am in
the morning of the abduction but failed to act until 72 hours later and
by then it was too late.
Anyone saying the Chibok girls will return is telling lies, maybe some of them will return to tell their story."
He stated that the failure of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2015 presidential election is a blessing to Nigeria. "We tried, but with Jonathan, it was best that PDP should fail to save Nigeria," Obasanjo said.
According to Obasanjo, the Jonathan’s administration trivalised
issues of importance as politics, particularly that of Boko Haram.
