Former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, has advised Nigerians against hoping that the remaining 219 Chibok schoolgirls still being detained by Boko Haram insurgents since April 14 this year will ever return intact.
Obasanjo, who spoke in an interview with Radio France International monitored in Abuja, feared that it would take years to rescue the girls, owing to the failure of the federal government to act swiftly within 48 hours after the abduction took place.
The former president categorically stated that anyone who believes that the Chibok girls would be rescued without scratches “must be daydreaming,” stressing that, “We will never be able to get those girls together again. And the stories of those girls will go on for the next 30 years. Some of them will come out when they are adults or sent back when they are impregnated by their captors.”
Obasanjo went on to take pot shot at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader in the Southwest, Chief Kashamu Buruji, insisting that the chieftain was a wanted drug baron and maintained that it was shameful for the PDP and the presidency to be “hobnobbing” with him.
According to him, “He is somebody who has been indicted in the United States as a drug baron, and for a political party and the presidency to be hobnobbing with him leaves much to be desired.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteOBJ, being human, may have shown some tendencies of being corrupt, but he fought corruption to the admiration of many Nigerians and his EFCC was not toothless as it is today. He is saying the fundamental truth known to all so I think we should look at the message and not the messenger. I feel so bad that we Nigerians prefer being part of dishonesty when we see the evil in a politician and still pour praises and even worship such politicians. GEJ and PDP as it is today encourage corruption and prefer working with the very worst of people in the society.
DeleteBut OBJ fought corruption and that is what he's still doing. Whilst PDP romances corruption and people of questionable characters
