Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has declared that no pupil was abducted by Boko Haram from Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State.
Watch video below...
Over 200 pupils of the school were reportedly abducted in 2014 by the terror group.
The governor said the report was politically motivated to influence public opinion against the Goodluck Jonathan administration ahead of the 2015 general elections.
Fayose spoke while declaring open a two-day workshop on “Political Aspirants Capacity Enhancement” organised by Women Arise for Change Initiative. It was organised for women from Ekiti, Osun and Ondo states.
He said, “Today, many opposition leaders are underground. I don’t think any of these girls is missing; it is a political strategy. Who is fooling who? If you wanted to use it to remove some people, you have succeeded already.
“I don’t know if there are missing girls but no indication has shown that. It is a political strategy, because I don’t think any girl is missing. If they are missing, let them find them.”
The governor also took a swipe at #BringBackOurGirls campaigners, saying some of them are using it to look for appointments.
He lamented that human rights groups had decided to keep quite since President Muhammadu Buhari came on board.
Fayose said, “I’m concerned about the activities of human rights groups. Today the government of the day is obeying court order of their choice, while human rights are not respected.
“We must talk about government providing cover for criminals. You are now using that person to harass innocent person. You will never have peace when you hide justice.”
He added, “Police came into town yesterday (Tuesday) to arrest political opponents. If you like, demonise me, I will demonise you. I don’t need the police and the SSS (Department of State Services) to walk in my state. It is when you are not popular that you walk with police.
“Any government that rises against me, that government will come down. I’m Peter the rock. By engaging me, you make me more popular and relevant and then court sympathy. I’m one person that is going places. That is why all these challenges are against me.”
The governor urged women seeking elective offices to be loyal to their husbands.

You are insane pls. Go to chibok and open ur wide mouth and tell them. I don't think you have a daugther, but if you have i won't pray that the same to happen to ur child
ReplyDeleteThe fact that people stopped commenting on Fayose's meaningless rantings shows we are tired of his mediocrity.Ignore this ignoramus.
DeleteTruth is bitter but any nation that hates truth will never progress. Let them prove Fayose wrong with hard core reliable evidence. In fact Fayose is exercising his right as a true opposition in a Democratic setti g.It is not about demonizing him but about the reality in what he is saying . God deyooo!
ReplyDeletePeter I love your courage, but don't ever play politics, with the life of even a single soul, did you ever caution yourself to think assuming it was true, how will anyone see me tomorrow, how will the grieving parents of any of these girls reading my opinion feel in their harts, don't be a Donald Trump in this matter, most of those girls taken away are Christians the same faith which you proffers, and Parents some of whom past on because they could not bear the frustration of loosing their daughters (some only) in their old age would never 4give u, we know you seek popularity but this one is damn 2 cheap.. and would be very unpopular worldwide.... we love the fact that you are giving the opposition a lot of push, which is an advantage for us the common Nigerians but don't turn round to bite us again
ReplyDeletethis Issue is too sensitive for you to play with MR. governor, we know you are trying your best to put pressure on the opposition to perform, but for this ehh ehh!!! don't spoil all you have been doing recently....
ReplyDeleteI think we should get fact before we open our mouth to talk in public. He said I qoute " I don't think this girls are missing " God will expose the truth one day. We should fear God in all dealings.
ReplyDeleteTruth is indeed beater but it must be said. Is there any proof of this claim? I strongly believed Fayoshe has a point. It was political motivated to unsit the then govt. Note, in every rumour there is an atom of truth.
ReplyDeleteFayose is correct. The chibok scam was one ploy to give Jonathan a bad name in order to hang him. Wha made the so called chibok girls more valuable than hundreds of othe r women and girls kidnapped by the so called boko haram? Why was more attention paid to the story than others? If such kidnapping took place, why has nothing concrete ever been found since the savior Buhari who promised to bring them back in three months, assumed office? The woman principal who was part of the grand alliance of blackmail has since been rewarded with the position of a commissioner in the state. Madam okwesilieze who was drafted into the scam is bit because she was not settled despite her efforts against Jonathan. Please Jonathan is gone, so lets talk about meaningful issues such as the perennial fuel scarcity, zero power, non payment of salaries and the frequent junketing of our president

ReplyDeleteHe has every right to dispute the Chibok issue and ask for conclusive evidence. There is definitely more to it than meets the eye. And being anonymous doesn't mean you have to fling insults to make your point.
