Erstwhile President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo on Friday doubted the
ability of the President Muhammadu Buhari’s Federal Government to rescue
the abducted Chibok girls alive.
Speaking at an event organized by the Staff Club of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State,
Obasanjo affirmed that anyone saying the girls would return was simply lying.
Obasanjo’s reaction follows several promises by the current administration that it would rescue the abducted Chobok girls alive.
Obasanjo blamed the immediate past President, Goodluck Jonathan for trivialising the distress call to rescue the girls on the day they were abducted.
He said, “The former president heard about the kidnap 8am in the morning of the abduction but failed to act
until 72 hours later and by then it was too late.”Speaking at an event organized by the Staff Club of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State,

He stated that the failure of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2015 presidential election is a blessing to Nigeria.
“We tried, but with Jonathan, it was best that PDP should fail to save Nigeria,” Obasanjo said.
Obasanjo observed that the Jonathan’s administration trivalised issues of importance as politics, particularly that of Boko Haram.
