Former Nigeria’s President, Olusegun Obasanjo, yesterday, condemned the kidnapping of over 200 schoolgirls in Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok in Borno State.
Obasanjo spoke in Dutse, the Jigawa State capital in the course of the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding, MoU, with the state authorities on the adoption of a junior secondary faculty and a major college in Kudai, Dutse.
Obasanjo, nonetheless, faulted Federal Government for its lackadaisical perspective in direction of saving the lives of the kidnapped college students.
Speaking shortly after the signing of MoU between Jigawa State authorities and Olusegun Obasanjo Foundation, at Government House, Dutse, Chief Obasanjo mentioned the delay by the federal government over the matter led to their being moved away from the varsity, including that if pressing rescue motion was taken, the women may have been saved from their present hardship.
“The Federal Government could have acted quickly when the news broke so as to save the innocent girls, but nothing was done,” he lamented.
Obasanjo described the abduction of the girls as unfortunate and pathetic, considering the future of their lives.
“Their future is significant as such everything possible must be done to rescue them,” he said.
He, howeverm said that, “whatever might have been the grievances of the group of people behind the adoption of these girls, whatever might have been their anger or objectives, it was uncalled for, considering the importance of these girls.”
He stated his basis has established itself in 4 international locations in Africa amongst which Nigeria, Liberia and Ghana are beneficiaries.
Governor Sule Lamido thanked the previous president for his knowledge in establishing of his basis.
