Blame Jonathan, PDP for Chibok girls’ abduction – Amaechi

MAY 27, 2014 : CHUKWUDI AKASIKE


Rivers State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, has said that President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration and the Peoples Democratic Party should be held responsible for the abduction of over 200 Chibok school girls.

Members of the Boko Haram sect had stormed the Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok, Borno State and kidnapped hundreds of female students.

Speaking on Tuesday during an interdenominational church service marking this year’s Children’s Day celebration in Port Harcourt, Amaechi also said that Nigerians were guilty of the crime against the kidnapped girls by voting the Peoples Democratic Party into power.

Explaining that change could only come if Nigerians resolved to vote out the PDP in the 2015 general election, the governor stated that God allowed the kidnap of the girls in order to expose the leaders and the uncontrollable level of corruption.

“The blame is on us; your parents and those of us who are in government. We owe you the responsibility of safety; we owe you the responsibility of good education, so that you can become for us the future parents when we depart this world.

“All of us are guilty of this crime; because in 2011, we went and voted for this government. So, we are responsible for the kidnap of Chibok school children, because we chose the government; you chose me and you chose the president.

“All of us are guilty of the crime against Chibok girls. The president or PDP is guilty because it is in power and they are supposed to protect you and I. But you and I are not protected. We are guilty of choosing them.

“If, therefore, you are not able to protect the Chibok girls, then, all of us, especially the government in power, should be held responsible for the lives of the children of Chibok,” Amaechi said.

The governor carpeted the PDP for being after its political affairs without considering the plight of the abducted school girls and insecurity bedevilling the country.

He expressed the need for Nigerians to ask why over 200 students were kidnapped and the ruling PDP was celebrating in Kano State.

“I have said it before; God is tired of Nigeria, and now is the better opportunity to choose another government. Chibok girls are over 200. They are killing everyday. People are losing their children, losing their parents everyday. They went to Yobe State, burnt the whole school and killed children. What did we do?

“God became fed up with Nigeria and decided to allow the kidnap of Chibok girls. Why did God allow it? The story of Chibok will not end today. It is the story of a new beginning for Nigeria. If God did not allow it, Nigeria will not ask for change.

“Nigeria is only interested in one thing, which is corruption. These children have become sacrificial lambs after Jesus Christ for the good and benefit of Nigeria.

“It means that you and I must rise up and ask for change today to demand for a better government, to demand for accountability, to ask why Chibok girls were kidnapped and PDP was celebrating in Kano.

He, however, urged Nigerians to continue praying for safe release of the girls, adding that Rivers State decided to mark this year’s Children’s Day celebration with a solemn assembly to share in the pains of the victims and their parents.

APC blames Mimiko for Falae’s kidnap


The All Progressives Congress in Ondo State has blamed Governor Olusegun Mimiko, for the abduction of the National Chairman of the Social Democratic Party, Chief Olu Falae.

The APC said this in a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Abayomi Adesanya, on Wednesday.

The party also berated the governor for the high rate of kidnapping, rape, robbery, extrajudicial killing and other social vices in the state.

The APC noted that Falae was kidnapped in his farm in the Akure area of the state. The party said other people had been kidnapped around the farm about two weeks ago and a security report was given to the governor but Mimiko and the police authorities failed to act.

The statement read in part, “About three weeks ago, specifically on September 2, 2015, around Chief Olu Falae’s farm in Ala village, Akure- North Local Government area of the state, a farmer, Mr. Adediran Adejo, was kidnapped from his farm. Adejo was in captivity for several days and was not released until a ransom was paid to his abductors.

“Governor Olusegun Mimiko, being the Chief Security Officer of the state, the Ondo State Police Command and other security agencies had adequate information and notice about the kidnapping and other criminal activities in this area and across the state, but they were lackadaisical about these developments.

“The kidnapping of Chief Falae, being the second within a period of three weeks in this particular area, Ala village, is totally unacceptable and it is an indictment on Governor Mimiko, the police and other security agencies for their lackadaisical attitude and dereliction of duty.”

The APC wondered how the security vote was being spent in the light of the surge in crime in the state

It said the ‘fire brigade’ approach on the current manhunt of Falae’s kidnappers is because a prominent and famous Nigerian is the latest victim.

It added, “The APC’s investigation revealed that a whooping sum of N1.5bn is being deducted as security vote from the state’s treasury on a monthly basis. If this amount is committed to securing lives and properties, these dastardly acts would have abated. “We don’t want to believe that the security vote is going into private pockets as it is being speculated.”

The APC also berated a former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, for blaming the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government for Falae’s kidnap. It added that the Federal Government could not be held liable for such a crime.

However, the Ono State Commissioner for Information, Kayode Akinmade, slammed the APC for trivialising Falae’s kidnap.

The commissioner wondered how the APC could blame the governor for a surge in crimes such as rape and kidnapping. Akinmade wondered if the kidnapping of the wife of the Managing Director of The SUN, Doyin Nwosu, in Lagos last week was also the fault of Mimiko.

He urged the party to be constructive in its criticisms of the state government instead of peddling lies.

He said, “It is unfortunate that the APC can trivialise the kidnap of an elder statesman. Even in Lagos, which is an APC state, there are also kidnappings.”

Akinmade slammed the APC for saying that N1.5bn was deducted by the state government monthly as security vote.

He said, “Everyone knows the state of the economy today and many states are struggling to pay salaries. Does it make sense for us to deduct N1.5bn as security vote?”

Zombie sported!!!

It is believed right? This is how you people keep believing and all you end up doing is convicting oppositions politicians on the pages of newspapers and on the internet. Why won't you people believe when your ideologies are centred on jungle justice?

By the way, Olu Falae was kidnapped by Fulani herdsmen and the last time I checked, these cattle herders are APC supporters!!
