FORMER Minister of Education, Dr Oby Ezekwesili, never said President Muhammadu Buhari did not deserve to be president.

Our sister publication, Sunday Tribune, had attributed the statement to be part of what she said over the plight of 2,000 immigration service recruits who slept at the entrance of Aso Villa from Friday till Saturday morning.

The statement was actually made by Aisha Yesufu in her reaction to the immigration issue.

Yesufu, a BringBackOurGirls (BBOG) campaigner, was miffed over the misrepresentation in the report, saying “I said if PMB says he doesn’t know youths are camped at his doorstep, then he is not capable of being president.”

On her Twitter handle, @aishayesufu, she said “so, why attribute my words to another person. These weren’t said while she was there, for you to say you mixed the speakers up.

“@Obyezeks I know is one who would never say such to media or anyone, but to the President himself if the need be.

“Never for once did Dr Oby Ezekwesili @obyezeks make such a statement. She talked about government’s need to talk to them.

“When did Dr Ezekwesili talk about the President not fit to be in office? When did I commend the last administration?

“Even when some of us forget and say Buhari, she would always ensure we respect the office and add President.

“I said no one can say PMB doesn’t know youths are camped at his doorstep. If he says he doesn’t know, then what does he know?

“I, Aisha Yesufu, did say several times and in different words that President Buhari was insensitive to the plight of the masses

“I, Aisha Yesufu, never commended Jonathan administration. I only said to redeem themselves, they had a transparent exercise.”

Ezekwesili, while addressing the recruits, had said “I am, therefore, appealing to the president to immediately ask the military as well as the Nigerian Immigration Service to do what is right, give justice to all these young men and women who, on the basis of merit, were appointed into positions in the NIS.

“I want to say that if justice is not given to them immediately, I certainly will join them in sitting here everyday until they get their justice. Justice is to be able to come to table with them.

“Whatever the challenges are, let it be known, but don’t let anything be done in secrecy, and let nothing be done with such opaqueness. These young people are the present of Nigeria, not just the future of Nigeria. If we don’t treat our young right, we are laying ourselves up for what we already have troubling us in the country.

“So, I join my voice with them and I appeal to the President whom they have come to see to immediately do something about their cause. And I also use this opportunity to speak to the Federal Government, there have been too many instances of allegations of illegal recruitment into the public service.

“If our public service is dysfunctional and you are worsening it by recruiting people through the back doors, people who don’t have the talent, skills, competence, capacity, character to be able to give us good service in public service, then, we certainly have no plans to be better than we are.

“So, we should just from henceforth desist from doing this. And usually, when these illegal recruitments are done, we sacrifice the best for the worst among us. Usually, when these illegal recruitments are done, what ends up happening is that the children of the poorer segment of our society who struggle to get through their education are left behind, then, that is the basis of worsening inequality.

“We cannot afford this and an unequal society is a society laying itself up for implosion and God forbid that would be the case with our nation. I want to just applaud all of you for coming out and standing, standing for your cause. I want to say that I would actually be speaking to a lawyer who will become your lawyer in this matter, so that, not just would you be on the streets, but you would have to get legal redress of your sitaution, because that’s very important.

“I also applaud the fact that you have been civil. Today is Saturday, I don’t know what your plan is, Saturday is not a work day. Sunday is also not a work day. So people might say they are not at work, that’s why they are not able to speak to you. Maybe what we would do is have a discussion among yourselves and perhaps resume your sit-out by wherever you chose to do that, by the first day of the week. Then whatever you want to say to the President, I think you should give the opportunity for all your members to speak to the President. He’s the one you came to see.”

The Tribune Newspapers hereby tender unreserved apology to Dr Ezekwesili, Aisha Yesufu and the Presidency for the misrepresentation.

oby used to have d loudest voice in the #bbog campaign when gej was d president;(

We need empirical evidence to prove she didn't say it..

It pissed me off when people are defending/praising politicians and overnight Millionaires even when its obvious they're crippling several creative minds.

I don't know if coming to their defense can put food on ya table.

FELA KUTI has said it all:- suffering and smiling.

This country don tire me.... Anytime I check front page these are the news I always see

Trailer fall from 3rd mainland bridge damaged car and kill people
Dollar rise from ---- to ----.
Sheriff and Makarfi
Fulani herdsmen destroy
See cute pics of Totoh Dikeh laughing
Snake has fall from the tree
Budget padding
Company retrenching
We must reclaim our money from corrupt politicians
Riot, protest and Strike.

When am I going to start seeing even if na one day

Dollar price crash from 400 to 150
Electricity production hits 10000 megawatts
Fulani herdsmen marry an Igbo girl
Sheriff and Markafi reconcile
Government has completed all the federal high ways in Nigeria
People behind budget padding arrested and sent to jail
Company employing thousands of people.

Meaning good news can't come from Naija at all?

Think someone don't. Want to upset anybody.. ..
Aunty Oby..hope am not thinking what you're thinking cos Bubu is a nice man..and he's tolerant.he know au far we went to get him there

shameless brainless dullard. [/b]

Frustrated woman..

Meanwhile how APC paid Her for saving them....

Hmmm, this woman has been forgotten with style, she was thinking she would be compensated with a portfolio should Bubu win, she forgot that the Fulanis re just all abt themselves only hence the leaving in the lurch treatment meted to her.

Right now she is like an orphan, madam take heart,there might still be light at the end of d tunnel for u if the need arises for Bubu to change his ministers.

Next time look very well nd carefully before taking a leap,kpele Kpele..

Don't take a leap just because u hate a person or the person's face as in the case of Jonathan..

A lot of people's fingers got burnt nd some re still getting burnt right now because they were biased in voting Jonathan out because of "inefficiency "as they claimed which to me wasn't tangible enough because he was already putting policies in place to stem the tide of corruption,a good example of such policies was the T. S. A which has since been stylishly hijacked by the A. P. C without giving credit to the P. D. P, even though P. D. P was equally bad in some areas as the A. P. C and also becos he was Ijaw man who was a nobody in the scheme of things in this country.

Some people from a particular section of this country feel it is their birthright to lord themselves over us.

Most of those who convinced the masses to vote Cassandra have suddenly gone mute since things started nose -diving because they don't want to be seen as making a volte - face so soon hence the need to enjoy the aroma of the change they vigorously campaigned.

The Human Rights activists of the south western part of this country and and their media houses accomplices are guilty of ramming "Bubu" down our throats.

May God deliver us from this yoke that has been thrust on us in the name of "change".

I will continue to say it emphatically that buhari has nothing I mean nothing to offer this great country rather to allow our economy and resources to be in the doldrums.

The trauma this women are facing unbearable

The United States Secretary of State, Mr. John Kerry, will on Tuesday (today) meet President Muhammadu Buhari as part of his official visit to Nigeria.
The meeting is scheduled to hold inside the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Buhari and his guest are expected to engage in a bilateral meeting during which the fight against Boko Haram and other issues will be discussed.

Ahead of Kerry’s visit, however, security has been further beefed up in the already well-fortified seat of power.
Our correspondent reported that some US security operatives that are part of the advance team were seen at strategic places inside the Presidential Villa, on Monday.

According to a schedule prepared by the Presidency, Buhari will receive Kerry at the forecourt of his (President’s) office by 3pm.
The President will be joined by top government officials including ministers and presidential aides.
Photo journalists and video cameramen will be allowed to establish the arrival at 2.55pm. Reporters will not be allowed access to the venue.

Immediately after the arrival ceremonies, Buhari and Kerry will proceed to the President’s office where they will hold a bilateral meeting.
Only the official photographers and video cameramen of the two leaders will be allowed to establish the bilateral meeting.
Kerry will not grant press interview at the end of the meeting.

Thereafter, the Secretary of State will meet some select governors from the North at the State House Press Waiting Room.
Because of the small size of the room, only seven journalists that will include photo journalists and cameramen will be allowed to establish.

Kerry will also not grant interview at the end of the meeting.
While the visit lasts, reporters will be restricted to the Briefing Room of the Council Chambers which serves as their operational base.

On Monday, departmental heads were seen busy putting finishing touches to the preparation in order to ensure a hitch-free visit.
A statement issued by the Information Office of the Embassy of the US on Friday in Abuja, said Kerry would discuss the US cooperation with Nigeria over Boko Haram, economic and human rights issues during his visit.

The statement said, “Kerry will meet with President Muhammadu Buhari to discuss counter-terrorism efforts, the Nigerian economy, the fight against corruption and human rights issues.

“In Sokoto, he will deliver a speech on the importance of resilient communities and religious tolerance in countering violent extremism.
“In Abuja, the secretary will meet with a group of adolescent girls working to change community perceptions that devalue the role of girls in society.
“He will also meet with northern governors and religious leaders.”
