Obasanjo Blasts GEJ Again, Says His Government Is Corrupt And Incompetent
Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has emerged again, stating that the reason why the Islamic sect grew in strength was because the corrupt and incompetent
government of Goodluck Jonathan failed to recognize the threat it
posed.
He blamed Jonathan for the continued captivity of
the abducted Chibok girls. The Former president said they would have
been rescued if the government had acted fast enough. This was made known during an interview with IBTimes UK while attending the Global Education Forum conference in Dubai.
Obasanjo said “The response of the government initially was definitely not enough. When Boko Haram started showing their fangs about four years ago the reaction should have been firm and unmistakable. We have lost ground,”
He also said “It has become a regional issue and we have to deal with it regionally,”
When asked about the missing Chibok girls, the former president said “The government did not believe that there had been an abduction for some time. If that had happened maybe the girls would have been rescued,”
Obasanjo said that there could only be dialogue with Boko Haram after they had been severely pounded by military force.
