Jonathan’s Response To Chibok Girls’ Kidnap Poor – Buhari by ZUBY77(m): 5:16am On Jul 09, 2015 |
President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday said the conflicting reports that emanated from the Federal Government and the security forces in the days shortly after the over 200 schoolgirls were kidnapped in Chibok, Borno State last year portrayed the government of former President Goodluck Jonathan in a bad light locally and internationally. He said he could not rationalise the past government’s incompetence in dealing with the issue, saying he could only ask for patience. Buhari spoke while granting audience to members of the BringBackOurGirls group, a pressure group set up to continue to clamour for the rescue of the abducted girls. The President said, “It is unfortunate that the security and Federal Government’s conflicting reports initially presented the government and its agencies in a very bad light both nationally and internationally. “This is because the law enforcement agencies and the government were conflicting each other sometimes within hours or within weeks, that is not very impressive. “The delayed and late reaction by the former government and its agencies was very unfortunate as I said… “I think you will agree with me that the present government takes the issue very seriously. Within a week of being sworn in, I visited Niger, Chad and would have visited Cameroon but for the invitation of the G-7 to go to Germany. “I am very impressed with the fact that the leadership of this important group and the United Nations itself, are very concerned about the security in Nigeria which led to the abduction of the Chibok girls by the terrorists. “When the terrorists announced their loyalty to ISIS, the whole attention again was brought squarely to Nigeria. And now we are rated with Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. This is very unfortunate.” The President also insisted that members of the Boko Haram sect could not claim to be propagating Islam, saying they should consider changing their name to something else. “We are pleased that in the excesses of the terrorists, they have blown themselves. “I think they have to change their names from Boko Haram to something else, because no religion will kill the innocents. “You can’t go and kill innocent people and say ‘Allah Akbar!’ It is either you don’t believe it or you don’t know what you are saying. “So, it has nothing to do with religion; they are just terrorists and Nigeria will mobilise against all of them,” he added. The President said he was still compiling the shopping list requested from him by the G-7 leaders. While saying that the military had submitted its own list, Buhari said he was still waiting for the governors of the frontline states who he had told to compile the list of infrastructure lost to insurgency such as roads, schools, markets and places of worship. One of the leaders of the group, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, told the President that one of their major demands from the government was the immediate rescue of the Chibok girls. Ezekwesili, a former Minister of Education, said the abducted girls had stayed far beyond the acceptable period in the hands of terrorists. She said the government needed to apologise for the failure that led to the girls’ abduction and its inability to rescue them. Ezekwesili also called on the Federal Government to set up a commission of inquiry for accountability on the abduction and rescue of the girls. While calling for the adoption of the identification, verification and reintegration of abducted citizens’ strategy, Ezekwesili also called for the creation of what she called National Missing Persons Bureau for the country. She also called on Buhari to release the report of the presidential fact-finding committee that was set up by the Jonathan’s administration in the wake of the abduction. Another leader of the group, Mariam Uwais, said they would not relent in their demand for the rescue of the girls. The Chairman of the Kibaku Area Development Association, Dauda Illiya, asked the President to fulfill this promise by treating the safe return of the girls as a top priority. He also pleaded with Buhari to visit Chibok within the first 100 days of this administration “to have a firsthand view of the plight of our people, while we look forward to the safe return of our daughters very soon.” Two parents of the abducted girls wept as they addressed Buhari in Hausa. Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, security chiefs and other top government officials joined the President to receive the team. http://www.punchng.com/news/jonathans-response-to-chibok-girls-kidnap-poor-buhari/ |

Jonathan response to everything during his time was reprehensible. He was an accidental president hence hadn't the slightest thing it took to respond appropriately to a situation. The only time he responded swiftly to a "situation" was when the mother of Nigeria's prime minister was kidnapped. He even confessed to being a confused man at some point. 1 Like |

What do you expect from a government that care less
about it’s citizens but can celebrate corruption and
impunity. Remember Buhari you days too are counting!
So of us won’t start criticing your government for now is
still early I gave Gej time before he disappointed himself
thinking it was Nigerians. Buhari no excuses when you
fail on your change mantra so of us know the state of
our economy and virtually empty treasury Gej passed to
you that is why am giving you time. God bless Nigeria 1 Like |

This incompetent administration is looking for ways to pin their inability to govern on the previous administration. The last government may have not have gotten it all right but the continuous blame is unwarranted. The present regime should focus on getting the job done or should please shut up and ship out. |
