Former aid to the immediate past president of Nigeria, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, has derided president Muhammadu Buhari over his government’s insensitivity to the plight of the grieving parents of the girls, stating that it took the presidency too long to react reminiscing the 2014 Chibok girls’ incidence in which his former principal was ridiculed for not responding swiftly.

Omokri said that “when the Chibok girls were kidnapped by Boko Haram in 2014, the then opposition All Progressives Congress condemned the Jonathan administration most stridently for not swinging to action immediately and for keeping the public uninformed about the saga.

“Most vociferous and cantankerous was a man eponymously named Lai Mohammed, who was then the national publicity secretary of the APC. So, you can imagine my surprise that a bunch of people who were so critical of others during their time of testing, have now shown the same traits they criticised in others.

“For instance, two full days after Boko Haram abducted almost a hundred girls from Government Girls Science and Technical School, on Monday the 19th of February, 2018, there was no word or communication from any level of the Nigerian government informing the public that such a thing had occurred or what was being done to rescue the girls. It was only on Wednesday that Nigerians heard from President Muhammadu Buhari, via Twitter. But of course, all he did was give his usual platitudes,” he said.


Omokri further questioned why the president proceeded to Adamawa for an anti-corruption summit when he was yet to, at least, comment on the issue. Even sadder still is the fact that this incident happened in Dapchi, in Yobestate on Monday, and the very next day, the president was on his merry way to Adamawa for a so called anti-corruption summit!

“Never mind that Transparency International just released its2017 Corruption Perception Index and unsurprisingly revealed that Nigeria,under President Muhammadu Buhari, has fallen from the 136th position that former President Jonathan improved us to, to 148. We have gone 12 steps backwards.So, what was the president going to celebrate in Adamawa? Failure?

“But that is not even the worst. Even though the government had not even commented on the kidnap of the girls, the president’s spokesmen were on social media bragging about the ‘mammoth crowd’ that their boss pulled in Adamawa! Can you imagine?

“What an insensitive presidency. They see nothing wrong in celebrating an alleged ‘mammoth crowd’ that received Buhari in Adamawa a day after Boko Haram sacked the town of Dapchi and the whereabouts of its school girls are still uncertain! Celebrating while Dapchi is mourning!”

He accused the government of not being truthful to Nigerians on the fight against insurgency and its efforts to secure the country.

“The administration said Boko Haram had been defeated, so how does a defeated foe move from one state to another state to carry out such a daring raid? And for good measure, what is the state of security in the Northeast? Witnesses to the event said Boko Haram stormed Dapchi in nine vehicles loaded with terrorists in military uniforms. They described some of the vehicles as being fitted with machine guns.

I have been to Yobe and crisscrossed the state. It is not possible to get from Sambisa to Dapchi without going through the Maiduguri Bauchi road. So how did the security forces miss these miscreants?

He advised the president to be more sensitive to the plight of Nigerians, saying that, “President Buhari ought to be more sensitive in his utterances and behaviour when incidences like these occur. Why should he be traveling all around the country for the benefit of his second term when the nation is falling apart around him?

“Herdsmen killed 73 people in Benue and President Buhari travelled to Kaduna and Nasarawa instead.Bandits killed 41 souls in Zamfara and Buhari traveled to Katsina the next day to pose for pictures with APC governors. “Boko Haram attacked Dapchi in Yobe and abducted almost a hundred girls and Buhari traveled to Adamawa the next day where the presidency was boasting about ‘mammoth crowds’! Isn’t this proof Nigeria being on autopilot?

Buhari says he is strong on security? Strong my foot!

“How can a state be under attack and the men who should lead Nigeria were in Katsina taking photos? As they posed, Nigerians in Zamfara were mourning their husbands, wives, parents and children after armed men stormed Zurmi and killed 36 people. They were taking pictures while Nigeria burns!

“This is beyond being a PDP or APC loyalist. Death is no respecter of party affiliation. President Buhari must secure Nigeria as he promised or give way to someone who can.But beyond that, the president must face the reality that Boko Haram have not been defeated. He is still living in denial and his denial is costing lives,” he said.
