PDP Chieftain, Cairo Ojougbo Reveals How Chibok Girls Release Failed Under GEJ by SillyMods: 6:17am On May 09, 2017
- Cairo Ojougbo, a member of the Ali Modu Sheriff faction of the PDP, said he was part of the negotiation team for the release of the Chibok girls
- As against the statement of the faction of Ahmed Makarfi, Ojougbo commended Buhari's government for securing the release of the girls

The faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) headed by Ali Modu Sheriff has revealed why it was very difficult for immediate past President Goodluck Jonathan to get the Chibok girls released. NAIJ.com reports that the girls, students in Chibok, Borno state, were abducted by the Boko Haram terrorist group in 2014. The Sheriff’s faction of the PDP said Jonathan’s administration was on the verge of getting the girls released in May 2014 before this move was scuttled by an unnamed Borno state indigene.

The acting deputy national chairman of the party, Dr Cairo Ojougboh, who spoke in Abuja, said former President Goodluck Jonathan had raised a negotiation committee to liaise with representatives of the insurgent group. Some of the released Chibok girls According to him, progress was being made until it was scuttled. “When in May 2014 we were to receive these girls, we had already committed every resource available, logistics were made but when we got to the negotiating point, the International Red Cross, myself and lady doctor from the SSS, we were disappointed. “Why were we disappointed? We were disappointed because somebody from within Borno state got wind about the development about the release and scuttled it,” he said.

According to him, the faction of the PDP was happy that up to 82 of the girls had been released. “In this country today, there is cause for happiness and jubilation over the release of the 82 Chibok girls. “The PDP welcomes it, the PDP congratulates the president, the armed forces, the embassy and people of Switzerland, especially the International Red Cross, all partners who have worked assiduously for the release of the Chibok girls. “The attention of the party has been drawn to a statement made by the rebel group criticizing aspects of the release of Chibok girls.

Let us make it clear that the effort and the battle to release the Chibok girls started a long time ago. “In effect, sometime in May 2014, a consultant of the World Bank visited Nigeria and approached Chief EK Clark and told him that the Chibok girls were alive and they could be rescued. “Chief EK Clark made contact with the then president, Goodluck Jonathan, and he authorized Chief Clark to nominate a trustworthy person to negotiate on behalf of the government and people of Nigeria for the release of the Chibok girls. “Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud today to tell you that I am the one who was nominated to negotiate the release of the Chibok girls.”

He continued: [b]“The party that was put together on behalf of the government of Nigeria are the following persons: the then director of SSS, the then Chief of Defence Staff, General Badeh; the Chief Security Officer to Mr President then, and my humble self. “Senator Shehu Sani and a particular businessman and owner of a school in Borno that I cannot call his name for obvious reasons, were the people who contacted the persons to represent Boko Haram. “And we held series of meetings – the International Red Cross, the Embassy of Switzerland, we took these representatives of Boko Haram to the International Red Cross and to the Embassy of Switzerland. READ ALSO: Developing story: 3 dead as religious crisis allegedly ongoing at Kabala junction, Kaduna (photos) “They gave us time, they studied what information we had and they approved it. “Arrangements were made to release the Chibok girls sometimes in May 2014. “Provisions were made, persons were gathered. I went for the meeting for the exchange, conditions were set.[/b]

The conditions that were set involved the release of the Boko Haram prisoners. “When the Boko Haram representatives met us first, what they told us was that 10 of their malams were arrested in Bauchi when they were praying. “When we took information to the SSS and to then Chief of Defense Staff, General Badhe, they laughed. “They said, no. These people they gave us their names, which I still have till today, they are not malams. They were hard and toughened Boko Haram terrorists.

“We took the information to Mr President, Mr President then said: ‘look, whatever it takes to release the Chibok girls,’ any swap that these people demand, I approved it’. Jonathan approved it.” He noted that the swap deal that ensured the release of the girls was initiated by the Jonathan government. “When Jonathan left office, the International Red Cross, the embassy and people of Switzerland, the then ambassador of the Switzerland and the current one continued with the process.

“We are very happy that these 82 girls have been released, we are also very concerned about the remaining girls and we urge the federal government to continue this process of negotiations.”

GEJ couldn't release the girls because the their 'kidnap ' was a Northern agenda to make him appear incompetent and return power to the North.

He authorised Clerk to nominate a trustworthy person?

Was Jonathan EVER taking any decisions as president at all? I have this feeling he had such destructive low self-esteem that he didn't think himself smart enough to take decisions on his own, hence his perpetual use of proxies and fronts.

Imagine such critical assignment entrusted into the hands of a known crook like Clerk et al, of course they were bound to bungle it!

Jonathan was the architect of his own destruction yet he has the temerity to apportion blames here and there.

What a buffoon.

The usual lame excuse. GEJ had all the tools he needed to rescue them at his disposal but he failed as he always does.

He surrounded himself with clueless, greedy, looting, opportunistic persons. Hence he failed woefully despite the initial goodwill and overwhelming support he had.

Sure, we are far better.

It would have been far worse had we not removed the looting bastards we had then.

Just think of the several salary arrears being owed by GEJ and the state govts despite the humongous earnings of that oil windfall time before we kicked them out; how dem for cope with oil doom that followed?

In securing their release, hardened bokoharam killers were released to the society. Meanwhile, these are killers who have killed, maimed and raped thousands. These will continue the killing and destruction. More thousands will be killed.
All those who lost parents, children in the hands of these killers have been robbed of justice as if the lives of the so called Chibok girls is worth more than those of the thousands already slaughtered and those to be further slaughtered by the killers.

Does it not look like the killers are being rewarded for a job well done, while using the chibok girls as a veritable bait? And not all the alleged abducted girls have been released.
Whoever scripted the reality epic movie is indeed a master Hollywood creator. And the end is not in sight.

And he stupidly allowed their agenda to work by not giving the necessary approval to release the girls, right? Just go and change that your handle to doublefoolishness.

You're wrong.

1. The govt is in a far better position to contain BH terrorists than it was two years ago
2. The govt has not stopped routing BH terrorists from their strongholds
3. No price is too much to pay to have those girls released.

A quick question for you,
How much is too much a price to pay to have your kidnapped daughter, sister or mother released from a random kidnapper?

I will say we thank God for the released of chibok girls after 2/1 years in Bkokoharam camp. however, the glory should not be seeing as a presidential achievement as it added no value to our economy or stabilize our polity. Gej in his own capacity have tried to release chibok girls from captivity of Bokoharam but was frustrated and made more intricate for the govt of PDP.. Although, we thank God for their released..

....Some people are just irredeemable....When people call this Chibok girls a scam,they mean that APC in conjuction with NORTHERN LEADERS, packed some Christian girls,hid them in bunkers and turned round to scream to the media that Chibok girls have been kidnapped..

...This same evil Apc and their northern co-horts led by the nematode in the person of the Borno State Governor SCUTTLED and FRUSTRATED every plans to release these girls..

...This was done to oust Jonathan the' infidel 'and install a northerner..now they have accomplished their evil mission.rewarded those who helped them achieve this evil aim in the person of the Principal of the scholl,who is now a commissioner in Borno State,The NPA madam and so on..

....The captors(APC and northern leaders) have started releasing them in batches,and you jokers expect people to applaud??...You have all got jokes and have failed big time.

.....The Chibok girls movie is a SCAM of the highest order...thats all.
