#ChibokGirls: APC Berates Jonathan, Says He Needs Not To Bother Reply Cameron

The All Progressive Congress has once again blamed the former president Goodluck Jonathan for the abduction of the 276 Chibok school girls in Borno state.

This came after a former Prime Minister of Britain, David Cameron accused Goodluck of declining to give approval to the British troops to help rescue the abducted girls.

It could be recalled that Cameron accused the Jonathan of refusing to allow British troops rescue the abducted girls.

The party’s spokesperson Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, noted that the accusation of David Cameron proved the incompetence of the ex-president Jonathan.

He said “Former President Goodluck Jonathan has reacted to and refuted comments by former British Prime Minister, David Cameron, in his new book, For the Record, in which the Jonathan administration is accused of corruption and rejecting the help of the British Government in rescuing the 276 Chibok schoolgirls, who were kidnapped on April 14, 2014.”

“Although Jonathan is entitled to a right of reply, he shouldn’t have bothered about Cameron’s allegations, talk less denying it,” he added.

Issa-Onilu accused Jonathan of negligence, adding that the Peoples Democratic Party promoted outright corruption.

He said “Nigerians already know the story of Jonathan’s habitual negligence to matters of state. The Chibok schoolgirl’s abduction and his “sleeping behind the wheel” is not a story to deny as it is already part of our national history. We may disagree on a number of issues in Nigeria, but there is a national consensus on the fact that PDP elevated corruption to national culture.”

“That Jonathan government was corrupt was actually half of the story. The full story is that corruption hallmarked the successive 16 years administrations under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). It is shameful that anyone is even defending it. Corruption is the PDP’s political ideology. This fact is already cast in stone. Nigerians do not need Cameron or anyone else to tell us how corrupt and ineffectual the PDP era was.

“As a consequence, Nigerians voted out the PDP administration in 2015 and elected the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC administration to clear the mess the 16-year PDP administration left the country. Our resolve to do just that is unshaken,” Issa-Onilu said.
