Oby Ezekwesili should have gone to chibok to console the parents of the girls and protest along with them instead of parading only in Abuja.

The minister of Water
Resources, Mrs Sarah
Ochekpe exchanged words
with the Coordinator of
the group Dr. Oby
Ezekwezili, who led a
group of protesters to a
planned meting with
President Goodluck
Jonathan at the villa in
Abuja on Tuesday.
Mrs. Ochepe, who
accompanied the Minister
of Women Affairs, Hajiya
Zainab Maina and two
other ministers
representing President Goodluck Jonathan Environment to address the restless
protesters most of the BringBackOurGirls group made a remark that irked the
coordinator of the group, Mrs Ezekwesili.
Trouble started when one of the few girls that managed to escape from the Boko
Haram was called upon raise her concern over the continue captivity of her colleagues
abducted from Chibok exactly six months ago.
Mr Ezekwesili had announced that the girl would speak in Hausa language and one of
the protesters remarked that the girl speaking in Hausa would highlight the failure
of Nigeria’s education system to which water resources minister Sarah Ochepe replied
Oby Ezekwesili was one time education minister. This irked Mrs. Ezekwesili who
responded that her tenure as education minister brought a reform that the present
ones abandoned.
“Shame on you Sarah!” Oby barked back at the water Resources minister, but the
minister responded by saying your reform was to sell schools.
The verbal exchange was almost degenerating into something else as Mrs Ochekpe
pointed fingers at Mrs Ezekwesili until the protesters re-echoed the purpose of their
protest which eclipsed the altercation between the minister and the leader of the
group.
The brief incident nonetheless, the protesters are unrelenting as they sing bring back
our girls solidarity songs.
Tuesday protest to the presidential villa makes it the second time the group had
attempted to march to the see President Jonathan and it also marked the second
time they have been shunned by the president.
The President was represented by the four female ministers – Minister of Women
Affairs, Hajia Zainab Maina, Minister of Water Resources, Mrs Sarah Ochekpe,
Minister of Environment, Mrs Lawrencia Laraba-Mallam, Minister of Land and
Housing, Mrs Akon Eyakenyi.
They said the president was too busy to meet with the protesters, but assured that
he is doing everything to ensure the rescue of the girls.

[s]clown egift so you want the president to always visit the site where ur APC supporter of APC BH are always doing what they know best? Pathetic APC attack dogs in nairaland.[/s]

sholatech:
Watched it on TV and now getting worried about utterances from oby against her former friends and colleagues. 'Shame on you Serah' is highly uncalled for. Same way she goes on Twitter nowadays castigating Ngozi.

Of course, Sarah Ochekpe was heading a NGO when Oby was Minister for Education. And also handled UBE for a state. Oby good at criticism, but never wants you to criticize where she ever erred.

Protest on your course Oby. But you allowing personal sentiments come in a lot with unrestrained emotions. Yesterday was about Chibok girls, and not about Nigerian education system in totality in comparism with your own tenure. The chibok girl would definitely not know what to say on this other than what you told her

baccaspace:
Oby Ezeks performed well in Due Process Office but didn't do dat well in Education Ministry(under baba Obj).

Mrs. Sarah's impact as water resources minister is non existing as long as Nigeria is concerned. Though kudos to Oby for keeping the #BBOG campaign

When Obama visited the troops in Iraq it was the US military base he visited not the war torn streets of Baghdad.

He who lives in a glass does not throw stones.
Oby Ezekwesili's tenure as education minister was a gross failure. Trying to sell govt. unity schools to individuals would have made them elitist.

So Chibok is now a foreign country? - Wind dey everything dey show

TANiods are just mad that Dr. Oby has sustained this (else Nigerians would have forgotten all about it).

Whoever is that Minister of water resources is a big thief.

As I type the contracts they awarded for the construction of water research centers in the 6 geopolitical zones of Nigeria are all hanging for want of funds.

These contractors borrowed monies from banks and used their residential properties as collateral since 2011 and the people at ministry of water resources are sitting on contractors money refusing to disburse them since June 2012.

God will punish all of them accordingly

Say Amen !

Jonathan should hear this...
