Lai Mohammed, in true manifestation of his name, told a lie, when
he scolded the advocacy group Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) by
saying that their use of 'impudent' language should "should have
been reserved for those who did nothing in the first 500 days of the
girls’ abduction".
Of course Nigerians know that Lai Mohammed is synonymous with
lying and it is no wonder that the Oby Ezekwesili led BBOG are firing
at him, but to say that the Jonathan administration 'did nothing' to
rescue the Chibok girls is a lie that will not go unchallenged.
I will now give a timeline of events to prove unequivocally that Lai
Mohammed is a liar and his words should henceforth be taken with
a pinch of salt by Nigerians and the international community.
Timelines:
March 12, 2014: The then minister of state for education, Mr.
Nyesom Wike, wrote the Governors of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa
and advised them not to hold SSCE examinations in areas
susceptible to the Boko Haram insurgency. This letter, with
reference number HMSE/FME/147/VOL.1/150 and titled: 'Security
challenges and the conduct of the 2014 WASSCE and SSCE in Borno,
Yobe and parts of Adamawa States', is still available today should
Lai Mohammed wish to read it.
April 14, 2014: Contrary to the advise given by the PDP led Federal
Government of President Goodluck Jonathan, the APC led
Government of Governor Kashim Shettima, for reasons best known
to it, chose to ignore that advise and held the SSCE examinations in
Chibok, a mainly Christian town that was susceptible to attacks
from the Islamic extremist group, Boko Haram. On the day in
question, the girls of Government Girls Secondary School Chibok
were kidnaped by Boko Haram while preparing to write their final
physics examinations.
Flash forward to April 2, 2016: Governor Kashim Shettima confesses
in an interview with Premium Times that he, the chief security officer
of the state, DID NOT inform then President Jonathan when the girls
were kidnapped for reasons best known to him.
April 17, 2014: Exactly three days after the kidnap, President
Jonathan who had been unaware of the issue because of the
deliberate refusal of the APC led government of Borno state to brief
him called for an emergency meeting at the Presidential villa.
May 4, 2014: After consistent confused and contradictory
information from the Borno state Government and various other
authority figures, the Presidency invited the principal actors in the
Chibok saga to the Presidential villa to ascertain the truth. The
Presidency was shocked at the non appearance by officials of the
Borno state government. The governor's wife who was invited
shunned the event and when the then First Lady, Dame Patience
Jonathan saw the scanty representation from Borno she famously
exclaimed 'na only you waka come'?
May 6, 2014: The then National Publicity Secretary of the APC and
now the current minister of information, Lai Mohammed, released a
statement calling the Presidency's intervention a 'distraction'.
May 26, 2014: The Nigerian military revealed through Chief of
Defence Staff, Air Marshal Alex Badeh, that it knew the location of
the girls but could not attack because of fear of loss of lives of the
girls after a similar operation in Sokoto to save an Italian and a
Briton led to loss of lives of the hostages taken by an affiliate of
Boko Haram.
Unspecified Date in May 2014: The Jonathan administration began
secret negotiations to secure the release of the Chibok girls.
October 6, 2014: Then President Jonathan visits Niamey as part of
efforts to secure the release of the Chibok girls with the help of the
Nigerien government.
October 17, 2014: A truce was announced with Boko Haram after
negotiations which was to allow for the release of the Chibok girls.
The truce was broken by Boko Haram who reneged on their promise
to release their captives.
There are other actions taken by the Jonathan admin which I have
not listed here but the point I am making is that for Alhahi Lai
Mohammed to say that that government did nothing is not just a lie,
but a shameless attempt to rewrite history by a man who has scant
regard for the truth.
It is my prayer that the Chibok girls will be released but for that to
happen, there must be complete transparency and truthfulness from
government.
Finally let me say that a man like, Lai Mohammed, with an over
bloated opinion of himself and the poverty inducing government in
which he serves cannot argue with a man with an accurate
command of the facts. https://mobile.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10211383841169041&id=1152008079&refid=17&_ft_=top_level_post_id.10211383841169041%3Atl_objid.10211383841169041%3Athid.1152008079%3A306061129499414%3A2%3A0%3A1485935999%3A8060604343642069842#footer_action_list

Reno abeg leave lying Muhammed to concentrate on d nxt lier to tell us abt d number of people dat actually died during d friendly fire in IDP camp,


Defending dis govt is nt easy sha

NA GOD SAVE OBY EZEKWEZILI, SHE MIGHT ACTUALLY BE THE TARGET OF THE SO CALLED MISTAKEN BOMBING

Its like we have now have two running Governments in Nigeria, while Lai Mohammed speaks for the current Govt, Reno can't just help but to continue Abati's job as spokesman for an expired GEJ's govt.

Reno should get a life abeg.

I wonder how an old man like lai mohammed can be dishing out lies anyhow.
