OBY Ezekwesili, a former Minister of Education has condemned the abduction of school children and a teacher in Kaduna State by gunmen suspected to be bandits.

The former minister in a series of tweets on Friday condemned the silence by the Kaduna State Government and the Federal Government five days after the abduction of the school children.

She said that the country has a penchant for repeating terrible patterns of not learning from past mistakes.

“Still no word from @GovKaduna and @NGRPresident on schoolchildren and their teacher who were abducted in Kaduna several days ago? Ezekwesili’s tweet had read.

“What a penchant for repeating terrible patterns by never learning lessons from past mistakes do we have in governance! Give JUSTICE to the children. Right to human dignity must always matter to us.”

“Those who derided @BBOG_Nigeria for stepping up to amplify the voice of the families of our #ChibokGirls for 6 years now painfully have another chance to correct their attitude of “just-look-away-when-others-are-in-pain-syndrome.”

“The Kaduna school children are victims. In normal societies, WE all should care when tragedy befalls others. Tragedies should never be occasions for the “lousy politics of nothingness that is only consistent with degrading the Social Contract”. Use YOUR own Voice for the VICTIMS.”

The armed men had on Monday killed a man and abducted seven students and a teacher of Prince Academy, located at Damba-Kasaya village in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State, according to Premium Times

The incident happened around 8 a.m. when the gunmen stormed the rural community while the students were preparing for their Junior secondary school examination.

Madam, we have no sane persons in govt. Unfortunately u thought replacing GEJ with these current guys was gonna be a masterstroke. Now u can see that u can't even use megaphones in Abuja to protest. They care less cos their kids weren't affected. They are more interested in advising the people of Mali.

Thank you Mrs Ezekwesili.

Madam what have you said about the young guys killed in Enugu by the police? Eyes service, always advocating for better north than her home.

Tell those Dsss, police, and soldiers that always flex their muscle against unharmed IPOB and Shiites to go and rescue them.

Abi o

El-Rufai political career will end in 2023. He has succeeded in using his mouth, actions and inactions to shred his remaining reputation. A lot of northerners are even ashame of identifying with him!

There are incredibly insensible and wicked people in this government.
