Ex-president Goodluck Jonathan reportedly abandoned the over 200 Chibok secondary school girls for about 19 days after their abduction, it has emerged. According to Premium Times, Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno state made this chilling revelation on Monday, March 28 during a visit of ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo to the state on a two-day visit to the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID).
Shettima informed that Jonathan failed to call him or any official of the state government to make enquiry or empathise with the state over the incident. While eulogising Chief Obasanjo, the governor said he was confident that the abduction of the Chibok girls would have been handled differently were he (Obasanjo) in power at the time it happened. He said: “In our own case, Your Excellency, after the Chibok abduction of over 200 schoolgirls in April, 2014, it took 19 days for me to receive a call from the presidency.
