The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described as a compound embarrassment the fact that it took 17-year-old girl-child education campaigner, Pakistani Malala Yousafzai, to visit and convince President Goodluck Jonathan to agree to a meeting with representatives of the parents of the kidnapped school girls. ”President Jonathan, who has already embarrassed himself and the entire people of Nigeria by his inexplicable failure to visit Chibok since the girls were abducted over 90 days ago, has compounded the embarrassment and insulted Nigerians by waiting for Malala to goad him to meet with the girls’ parents, not in Chibok but in Abuja,” the party said in a statement in Lagos, Thursday, by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed. It said after the meeting failed, because the parents were not properly informed and invited, a shameless presidency turned around to blame the opposition and the patriotic and selfless Nigerians who have been campaigning daily, under the #Bringbackourgirls group. ”Fortunately, and to the eternal discomfiture of the presidency, the Chibok community has said the decision not to meet with President Jonathan in Abuja was theirs and theirs alone, and that they took that decision because their sole reason for coming to Abuja was to meet with Malala, and not the President who did not invite them anyway. ”With this explanation, one would have expected a presidency that has regard for the truth to immediately retract its earlier panic statement, which it issued to save face after what was nothing but a PR gimmick blew up in their face, and apologize to the opposition and the #Bringbackourgirls group that were unjustly pilloried by them. ”Instead, the presidency has persisted in its distortion of the truth, for which they have now become infamous, even as a new date has been agreed for the meeting. This is unfortunate, condemnable and irresponsible,” APC said. ”If indeed, as the presidency claimed earlier, that the opposition was behind the earlier refusal by the parents and escaped girls not to see the President, what has then happened to make them change their minds? Has the opposition now asked them to meet with the President?” The party alerted Nigerians that the reason President Jonathan, whose wife bullied and harangued the girls’ parents on the grounds that they were lying and that no girl was missing, agreed to meet with the parents is so that he could use the meeting as a photo-op, after Malala pushed for it and the President’s US-based image laundering firm acceded to it. ”Mr. President, your frantic effort to meet with the Chibok parents now is too little too late, and no amount of photo-op will change that. If your handlers had been sincere, Mr. President, they would have told you that the best venue of the meeting is Chibok, not Abuja where your people tried, but failed, to waylay the parents who came for a meeting with Malala. ”Mr. President, you have ceaselessly compared yourself to the great leaders of our time, including US President Barack Obama. But do you think Obama would have refused to visit the parents of these abducted school girls if the abduction had occurred in the US? Do you think Obama, as Commander-in-Chief, would have refused to visit his troops in the front line of the anti-terror fight as you have done? ”Do you think, Mr. President, that a band of rogue elements like Boko Haram would have restricted Obama’s movement within his own country as they have done to you? No true and caring President will ever fail to visit the sites of disasters and offer solace to his compatriots,” it said. APC reminded President Jonathan that neither in Nigeria’s culture nor in any other culture are those hit by tragedy invited to be offered solace, adding that the practice is to visit those to be offered solace ‘in situ’. The party reiterated its earlier call on the President to shake off his lethargy and bring the abducted school girls home safely, instead of playing politics with the lives of over 200 human beings. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/07/meeting-chibok-parents-jonathan-embarrassed-nigeria-apc/ 3 Likes |

APC should shut their fucck up!!!! I'm tired if this mouse game these parties play with our interest. The only thing every party does in Nigeria is to sow a seed of discord, water hatred, nourish violence and divide us with useless propagandas. The truth is, they all want to nourish their stoopid ambition by releasing statement after statement on every move the other one made. Bro APC, if janadaft is embarrassing us, dnt be d one to tell us cos we knw.. But why can't u be a better citizen and go visit shekeau at sambisa and bring peace for all instead of sittin behind ur computer screens trying to sow discord. 4 Likes |

But come to think of it, APC might be right in the sense that what took GEJ this long to meet with the chibok girls parent and on the other hand APC is just using this to score cheap political goals. Both Parties are the same and will blame each other at the slightest mistake rather than suggest ways and ideas for a better Nigeria |

It pains me when we still believe we have a president or a commander in chief of the armed forces in Nigeria. What we have now is a thief in office. the last time we had a leader was under Yar' adua, when strategic actions were taking without be goaded from outside Nigeria. Actions like: 1. Reversal of VAT from 10% to 5%; 2. Amnesty for Niger-Delta militants; 3. Railways road map; 4. revocation of the sold refineries; and other Seven point agenda. under Obasanjo, 1. terrorism was controlled people like Asari were behind the bar. 2. There was employment because graduates from universities with Second Class upper and lower were changing jobs especially banking jobs. 3. Manufacturers were making money due to good economic policies like banning some products we could produce locally; 4. Debts were partly cancelled and the balance was paid off. 5. Foreign Reserve was increasing. etc. Today, we can not sleep freely again. 1. Security - Zero; 2. Employment- zero ; 3. External debt- increasing; 4. foreign reserve - depleting; 5. Morale - down. A failed leadership. 2 Likes |

brownlord: Nigerians were not oblivious about their past problems when they voted for Jonathan to make it better, but instead, he made it worse many times over. Nigerians didn't vote for Jonathan to add more debt and borrow to finance even his own government and also to fight common rag tag terrorists Nigerians didn't vote for Jonathan to pardon crooks, convicts and corrupt elements. Nigerians didn't vote for Jonathan to surround himself with and hire corrupt crooks under EFCC investigations to top government positions. Nigerians didn't vote for Jonathan to tell them that stealing is not corruption or that corrupt is just their perceptions.. Nigerians didn't vote for Jonathan to promote tribalism and religious intolerance with his foolish and irresponsible utterances.. Nigerians did't vote for Jonathan to leave them unprotected for terrorists to blow into pieces everyday without the so called commander in chief lifting a finger. Nigerians didn't vote for Jonathan to take orders from a little girl from Pakistan before attending to the needs and safety of our missing school girls and the same school girls he recklessly and irresponsibly refused to rescue. The man is just a very cruel, mean spirited and horrible human being.. 1 Like |

aresa: Vote him out sir, we all need a change, but remember, both parties have same corrupt politicians, is GEJ the first to give presidential pardon, who are the crooks? APC members that decamped to PDP, are they crooks in APC? kwakwaso sponsored some group to pilgrims and do not same to Christians, what is that sir? How is he promoting tribalism and religious intolerance, becos he's a christian? do we complain when a muslim president goes sitting down in mosque? Only about 19 security men where killed November 1999, before the then president invaded Odi village with military men to bring down every moving living and non living thing, today, solder's are killed everyday and when the military record success some group called Norther Elders, ACF with support of Amnesty international will shout genocide. If there is a better way to handle the situation up north please suggest. |
