Chairman, Senate Committee on Environment and Ecology, Senator Bukola Saraki, and the Vice-Chairman, Senate Committee on Interior, Senator Olubunmi Adetunmbi,
on Tuesday blamed the inconsistencies of the President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration for the failure to rescue the 219 female students of the Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State.
Saraki and Adetunmbi, who stated this in separate statements in Abuja, lamented that the girls would have been found if the Jonathan administration had been serious with its perceived determination to recover the girls.
Saraki commended the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, for his refusal to make naive promises on the Chibok girls unlike the outgoing president.
He said, “We must remain hopeful of their return, and steadfast in our determination to find them, but not make the same mistakes of the previous administration in promising what we cannot guarantee to do.
“Today, we must remember the acts of terror that took place one year ago, and the innocent girls that still suffer as a result of those acts. We must remember those acts first and foremost as a human tragedy.”
Also, Adetunmbi lamented that one year after, the outgoing administration in the country had disappointed the parents of the girls and the entire nation because he did not fulfill his promise to bring back the girls.
He said, “The world moans with horror at the unsuccessful and feeble effort of Nigeria to locate and bring home the abducted girls.
“That this anniversary is happening at the twilight of the 16 years of PDP-led government is not a mere coincidence but an indelible reminder of the failed state they left behind.
“It’s also no accident that the one-year memorial of the Chibok assault provides an everlasting testimonial for the ‘untransformational’ and uninspiring leadership of President Goodluck Jonathan.”
