Few days ago, former president Olusegun Obasanjo was interviewed by the International Business Times UK and here are five major things the former Peoples Democratic Party chieftain said.

5 Vital Things Obasanjo Said In Dubai

Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo was at the Global Education and Skills Forum in Dubai on Sunday, 15th of March and he said a lot of things which will interest every political onlooker. The former president was interviewed during the event by International Business Times UK and he spoke on Boko Haram and the abducted Chibok girls. Obasanjo said that the terror group, Boko Haram has a genuine reason to be angry.

He also condemned the federal government over its failure to effectively tackle the recovery of the kidnapped school girls by Boko Haram in Chibok Local Government, Borno state. However, Naij. com has gathered five important things he said during the interview:

1. The government did not believe that there had been an abduction. Maybe if the Federal Gvernment had believed on time and swung into action, the Chibok girls would have been rescued.

2. Boko Haram has become a regional issue and we have to deal with it regionally.

3. Boko Haram has legitimate grievances.

4.The response of the government initially was definitely not enough. When Boko Haram started showing their fangs about four years ago the reaction should have been firm and unmistakable. We have lost ground.

5. If Boko Haram is ready to talk, [we should talk]. But by the time they are ready to talk they will need to be pounded a little bit militarily: at that stage they will be ready to talk.

Meanwhile, the media director of the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, recently accused the Governor of Borno State, Kashim Shettima, for ignoring security reports and the counsel of the Federal Government against holding the 2014 May/June West African Examination Council in Chibok before the school girls abduction.
