Kingsley Kuku, Special Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan on Niger
Delta and Chairman, Presidential Amnesty Programme has accused Northern
Elders in Nigeria of insincerity concerning the amount of girls that
were actually kidnapped from Government Secondary Schoo, Chibok in Borno
state.
Delivering a lecture on Challenging Current Security Issues For National
Transformation: The Way Forward”, at the 10th Convocation ceremony of
the Benson Idahosa University, Benin City, Kuku said, "Look at the issue
of Chibok girls: they said they were 273 writing Physics, all the girls
in one common village called Chibok. I am from Ondo state and our only
resource is education. Let us think well, I am not saying that there are
no Chibok girls. But in your own village where education is revered,
since 1970, have you really seen 50 girls writing Physics in one day?
Let us think about it, 273 girls writing Physics; that means there is
need for science in Nigeria.
"I used to join the protest ‘Boko Haram release our girls’ but I got
home and thought about it. The next thing America started abusing us,
they even made American First lady to join the protest but later she
stopped. And Americans came and started complaining that we don’t have
equipment to search for the girls, then the President said okay please
come and help us.
"They roamed the airspace and for over one month Drones were used but
they could not find one girl. And I replied Senator Mccain, who was
describing our President as one guy, and I told him, ‘your country came
but could not find traces of these girls for one month so what are you
saying?’ I said, please America come back and find these girls for us
you are our father. They said they could not wait again and they left.
"And as at that time, the government of Russia made a statement on the
internet that they will not waste time to join in this dream journey and
that if Nigeria was serious and the international community wanted the
truth that they should see what exactly was happening in the premises of
the government of Borno State. People underplayed that statement but
the whole world came and the girls are yet to be found.
"In Abia state today, the highest enrollment for WAEC, we assessed
Umuahia which is the capital, we did not go to a community like my
community, we did not find 70 students enrolling for Physics in a
school but in Chibok, a community I first heard in my life when this
incident happened, we saw 273. Then you can see the gimmick, they will
come up to say seven came out, they escaped.
"After two weeks they said another seven ran out of the bush. And the
first lady of this country tried to move into the matter Nigerians
started abusing her that she was not a mother. We like abusing First
ladies in this country, now she has kept quiet, go to the internet they
have started complaining that she is not talking again. Then when she
speaks they will say she talks too much", Kuku added.
