Lai Mohammed Mocks ‘BringBackOurBoys’ Campaign
The Federal Government of Nigeria has taken a swipe at those it described as ‘Naysayers’ whom they believe have learnt their lessons following the successful rescue of the recently abducted Kankara schoolboys.
As gathered by Eko Hot Blog, Lai Mohammed, the Minister of Information and Culture, was speaking with newsmen on Friday in reaction to release of the 344 schoolboys.
Mohammed rejoiced with the parents and guardians of the schoolboys, who, according to him, would soon reunite with their children and wards.
He noted that the kidnap of the Kankara boys is the second of its kind under the President Muhammadu Buhari led administration.
The Minister noted that Just like the Kankara schoolboys, all but one of the kidnapped schoolgirls from Dapchi, Leah Sharibu, were rescued unharmed.
Lai Mohammed also recalled that in 2014, 276 schoolgirls were abducted by terrorists in Chibok, Borno State, adding that the Buhari administration had been able to rescue over 100.

“They simply threw decorum to the wind and allowed their emotions to take a better part of them. We hope the naysayers have learnt their lessons.
“And we hope those who have started trading and politicking with the hashtag ‘BringBackOurBoys’ can now go home…”
