The statement read: "Our attention has been drawn to
the claims made by the Governor of Borno State, Kashim
Shettima on Thursday at a book launch to the effect that
former President Dr. Goodluck Jonathan wasted the
goodwill he commanded because of bad governance and
poor choices in office. He was also said to have accused
Jonathan of believing that he was behind the kidnap of the
Chibok girls.


"As a man who had never seen anything good in the
administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan on
account of party and other differences, it has remained our
considered view that in a democracy, Governor Kashim
Shettima and others like him are entitled to their opinion,
no matter how jaundiced.

"However, it is a sad commentary on the character of
some of our politicians that they go to any length to make
spurious statements, in pursuit of the sad narrative to
remain politically correct. We cannot be deceived by his
crocodile tears and patronizing claim that “Jonathan is
essentially a decent man”, which is a ploy he deployed to
justify his false allegation of a lost glory.


"The man who today speaks of squandered goodwill should
be able to tell Nigerians what percentage of the votes
Jonathan got in 2011 from Borno State at the height of
that his envisaged glory according to Shettima, and what it
became in subsequent elections. What was obvious
yesterday and has remained so today is that Governor
Shettima and those who think like him never liked
Jonathan based on some parochial and paternalistic
sentiments.


"We didn’t expect anything less from Governor Shettima,
knowing the ignoble roles he played in frustrating the war
waged by the past administration against Boko Haram,
even in his own Borno State.
"He should be able to tell us if it was Jonathan’s poor
choices that led the Governor to expose students of
Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok to avoidable
danger, in total disregard of a Federal
"Government directive to the Governors in the three states
most affected by Boko Haram to relocate their students
writing the West African School Certificate Examinations
to safe zones.


"The governor is now denying that he had no hand in the
kidnap of the Chibok girls even before anybody accused
him of culpability. However, we share the view of those
who insist that the governor had other things up his sleeve
when he promised the West African Examinations Council
(WAEC) that he would secure the girls, and ended up
doing the very opposite, by deliberately abandoning them
to their fate, without any security presence in their school.


"It is instructive that while other governors in the zone
heeded the security advice, Shettima remained the only one
that flagrantly flouted it. Should we also fail to point out
that his decision to reward the principal of Chibok
Secondary School, who was uncharacteristically absent on
the night terrorists stormed the school, with the post of a
commissioner, did throw up more questions than answers?
"Talking about accountability, perhaps, Shettima should
also do well to explain to the good people of Borno State
and Nigerians what he did with the over N60 billion Local
Governments fund, left by his predecessor, Senator Ali
Modu Sheriff.

Shettima should be dragging shoulders with his Boko haram classmates in sambisa forest.

Shame to you Shettima,you failed woefully in your responsibilities,lauching a nonsense book and blameshifting will not change the fact that you're a failure both in your Chibok girls scam.

In this case i stand with GEJ.

Its like shettima wants to confess or how did he know that Gej is suspecting him of d Chibok scam? Shetima, confess o coz karma is real.

This shettima of a governor needs a factory settings slap to bring him back to his senses

GEJ is good at returning punch.... This one na Killer punch...

Jonathan 1
Shettima 0

That one called Shettima...so if they are counting governors, he too will raise hand?

PDP fighting each other

The 2 of you can kill yourself, l don't give a flying fvck, both Jonathan and the useless governor are the same, where is my koboko laden with chilly pepper to flog these two useless politicians

If Shettima had headed the FG directive to relocate the school girls, the Chibok saga won't have happened in the 1st place.
What beats my imagination is how such a person will again turn accusing fingers at those who gave the directive he refused to honour.
Even more strange is the reward of the principal who was absent on the kidnap day with a position of commissioner.
Looks like an appreciation of a Job well done.

And his party members hail him.

The real chibok saga will be exposed someday.

When a governor's name is full of ShitShit......that's what you get

Now GEJ no get joy at all, hit him and he in return take no prisoners in his response. Now that is how it should be, not allowing these stupid politicians rubbish him

We all know that some part of the country are against restructuring or dividing Nigeria shettima is not left alone


They gat many things to lose.

Very apt and transparent.. the facts are all there.

This is what jonathan should have done right from the get go... gradually they would all be scared of even the mention of his name because they cant match his achievements recognised by transparent bodies and individual.

After this, do you think shettima would comment on jonathan again.

Truth will forever destroy lie! GEJ is the man!
