Goodluck Jonathan
The Federal Government has urged former President Goodluck Jonathan to stop engaging in finger-pointing over the issue of the Chibok girls who were abducted under his watch.
Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, called
Jonathan’s action an unnecessary distraction from ongoing efforts to
secure the release of the girls who remain in captivity, almost three
years after they were abducted.
Alhaji Mohammed stated Government position following the former
President’s reaction to the report by a British newspaper that the
British armed forces’ offered to attempt to rescue the girls, but were
rebuffed by President Jonathan.
”While former President Jonathan reserves the right to defend
his Administration, he should not engage in finger-pointing by saying,
in a statement, that ‘some people who have obviously been playing
politics with the issue of the Chibok girls will stop at nothing to
further their interest’,” the Minister said.
He said if anyone ever played politics with the issue of Chibok
girls, it was the Administration under whose watch the girls were
abducted.
”After the girls were kidnapped and the Jonathan Administration
did nothing for all of 15 days or make any determined efforts to rescue
them thereafter, our party, the then opposition APC, told the nation
several times that the whole Boko Haram crisis was allowed to escalate
by the PDP-controlled Federal Government so they can use it as a
political tool ahead of the 2015 elections.
”In a statement on 8 Sept. 2014, we said: ‘President
Jonathan-PDP’s political manipulation of the Boko Haram has to be
understood as part of its poker-like calculus for clinging on to
political power ahead of the 2015 elections.
“The Boko Haram crisis is readily used by the PDP to
rationalize the Jonathan Government’s abdication of its constitutional
responsibilities, including visits and assistance to areas affected as
well as effective response to abductions (e.g. the GEJ government was
silent over the Chibok girls kidnaps for over 15 days)”.
”Two-and-a-half years after that statement, we have been
vindicated by the report that claimed President Jonathan rebuffed an
attempt by the British government to help rescue the girls. We hope the
former President will now refrain from stoking further controversy over
the lingering abduction issue and allow the government of the day to
focus on its ongoing negotiations to secure the release of the Chibok
girls,” Alhaji Mohammed said.
