The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan has advised the groups protesting against the abduction of over 200 schoolgirls to direct their protest to the Boko Haram terrorists and not the government.
He said it in a speech delivered on his behalf by the FCT minister, Olajumoke Akinjide, to a team of #BringBackOurGirls campaigners, led by a former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwezili.
He said ;
“It is wrong and most unfair to suggest that there was a slow reaction to this kidnapping. As Commander-in-Chief, Mr. President meets with the security chiefs almost daily and he is on constant consultation with regional and global partners on this terrorists’ threat. We must be careful not to politicise the campaign against terrorism. When a bomb goes off in Kabul, Afghanistan, the people of Afghanistan do not blame the government, they blame the terrorists.When a bomb goes off in Bagdad, Iraq, the people of Iraq do not blame the government, they blame the terrorists. When a bomb goes off in Islamabad, Pakistan, the people of Pakistan do not blame the government, they blame the terrorists.When a bomb goes off in Nigeria, we must all unite to fight the terrorists.”
