Buhari complicit in abduction of Kankara schoolboys — Ezekweszili
By Emmanuel Awosika
Former Presidential candidate and Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, has refused to congratulate the Federal Government for the release of students abducted from Government Science Secondary School in Kankara, Katsina by bandits.
According to her, President Muhammadu Buhari and his government created conditions that led to the abduction of the Kankara schoolboys.
She argued that the President deserved no commendations over the boys’ release, saying he was part of the problem.
Reacting to news of the return of the abductees in a Friday night interview with Channels Television. Ezekweszili stressed that the President had to explain what ensued when gunmen stormed the school and abducted the students.
Her words: “For us to congratulate a government that created a problem and said it solved it? We shouldn’t be doing that. The society should learn how to hold people accountable. The President should be disgusted with what happened, not commending himself. What is he clapping for? Those children were put in harm’s way. And now he said he’s rescued them? Maybe the President sent the children on an excursion to terrorists so they can release children at will to him.
“He needs to tell us exactly what happened with the Kankara kids. There is a problem. This country should not be taken for a ride by President Buhari and his government. This is very unbecoming and the whole world is laughing at us. They think we are jokers. Many countries didn’t even bother to show that anything had happened in our country because they felt who are these people and what are they doing to themselves?”
The schoolboys were kidnapped on Friday, December 11, but were released on Thursday, December 17, having spent six days in captivity.
