Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has described as liars anyone saying all the Chibok girls will be rescued alive.
Also, Obasanjo accused the immediate-past President Goodluck Jonathan of trivialising the distress call for the rescue of the girls on the day they were abducted by Boko Haram insurgents.
He made this known in a Friday event organised by the Staff Club of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Osun State.
According to him, despite several series of assurances by the present administration, it would be impossible to rescue the girls.
“The former president heard about the kidnap 8am in the morning of the abduction but failed to act until 72 hours later and by then it was too late,” he said. “Anyone saying the Chibok girls will return is telling lies, maybe some of them will return to tell their story.”
In the same vein, the elder statesman said it was a good thing that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led by Dr. Jonathan failed to win the 2015 presidential election.
“We tried, but with Jonathan, it was best that PDP should fail to save Nigeria,” he stated.
Adding that Jonathan trivialised a lot of things, especially Boko Haram’s kidnapping of the girls.
