Obasanjo Attacks Jonathan, PDP Again, Says Chibok Girls May Not Return - by Otunbalarry: 12:01am On Feb 06, 2016

Despite efforts and assurances by the Federal Government that it would rescue the abducted Chobok girls alive, former President Olusegun Obasanjo has raised doubts on their possible return.
Mr Obasanjo, who spoke at an event organized by the Staff Club of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, on Friday, said anyone saying the girls would return was simply telling lies.
The programme which was held at the open arena of the staff club, was themed, “An Evening with Obasanjo.”
Mr. Obasanjo blamed former President Goodluck Jonathan for trivializing the distress call to rescue the girls on the day they were captured.
“The former president heard about the kidnap 8am in the morning of the abduction but failed to act until 72 hours later and by then it was too late,” Mr. Obasanjo stated.
“Anyone saying they(Chibok girls) will return is telling lies, maybe some of them will return to tell their story.”
According to him, the failure of the Peoples Democratic Party in the last presidential election is a blessing to Nigeria.
“We tried, but with Jonathan, it was best that PDP should fail to save Nigeria,” Mr. Obasanjo said.
He pointed out that one of the low points of the Jonathan administration was his treatment of issues of importance as politics, particularly that of Boko Haram.
On power generation, Mr Obasajo said there had been no meaningful improvements since he left office.
“Power is still the same way I left it in 2007, railway is same way and other sectors, it was best that PDP stopped ruling us,” he said.
“It was a thing of joy to me that the earlier declaration of 50 years governance for PDP did not come to pass.”
Mr Obasanjo, who was in company with the Vice-chancellor of the university, Professor Fadipe and other notable personalities, also took out time to take a swipe at Professor Wole Soyinka whom he described as “an amateur politician.”
“Wole Soyinka is a patriotic Nigerian, he is a great man but his opinion regarding politics, he always misses it, I have nothing against him,” he said.
Mr. Obasanjo also justified some of the decisions he took on education, saying he would take the same decisions if he had another chance.
“I have no regrets regarding the decisions I took in terms of education including removing free food in our institutions. We had 53 institutions when I came in 1999 but as at the time I left we had 150 institutions,” Mr Obasanjo explained.
“I prefer to have all persons in schools than to have some few persons simply enjoying free food.”
He also stated that he never had a godfather when he contested for president, admonishing young politicians to shun godfatherism and be ready to face hard times in politics.

Former President Obasanjo need not be a spokesman for the Present Administration. Am beginning to believe that the CHIBOK Issue is a scam of no mean proportion, just to get at Jonathan. His statement that the girls will not return tells of high level conspiracy, why will they not return or be found?

Video of who? That the world believed it does not make to be true. My gut feeling tells me that girls were abducted but the number mentioned is outrageous, how many escaped from captivity why can't we access them, who are are thier classmates? Why do the escapees vanish into oblivion etc,etc! Why the lull in #BOGS# Too many questions no answers.

Where were u when boko haram released the video?

Do not also forget that it wasn't an estimated number, because the list of their names and pictures were provided

Their classmates also have been revealed. Some of them where even interviewed

What do you want the escapees to do for you?

Everything that has a beginning must have an end. They have lost hope in recovering the girls. Thanks to gejs refusal to take action until 3 days later

Yeah we saw a video released by Boko Haram showing girls in hijab. They could be any girls gathered for the purpose of Propaganda, now come to think of it, how many mother of father of the Chibok Girl who watch the so called Shekau video came out to say, thats my daughter sitting at the left hand side or tall one green hijab is my daughter? None to the best of my knowledge made references, however, yes Girls were kidnapped no doubt but blaming Jonathan seem to be in thing now, but if we must stretch the conspiracy theory, does it not surprised you that in a community and school were Muslim and Christians reside and attend only Christians were abducted, what more can one say, if there was arrangee!
Jonathan cannot be blamed. In one vein he must fight Boko Haram and get the Girls Back but he must fight with bare HANDS
SHEER HYPOCRISY!
Re: Obasanjo Attacks Jonathan, PDP Again, Says Chibok Girls May Not Return - by skademzy(m): 5:20am On Feb 06, 2016
Why tell us what we knew? We kno they won't return. Not when most of them had fallen in-love with their abducters. The millitary shouldn't waste intelligence searching for the young mothers. Instead, they should regard them as collateral damages while they uproot the insurgents. Don't want my children to know about these animals except in their History classes.

Jona owes Nigeria an explanation on why he failed to act for 3 days after he got the security reports that over 200 girls had been abducted. As commander in chief he should have ordered immediate military response, even if he thinks the abductions was a hoax. To react half heartedly 3 days later is the height of irresponsibility.
I wonder why Nigerians have not question Jonathan for his atrocious response to the Chibok girl's abductions.
