Former President Olusegun Obasanjo sat down with Bloomberg TV AFrica to discuss the Boko Haram crisis, abduction of Chibok girls and the response of the Jonathan administration.
“The president did not believe that those girls were abducted for almost 18 days,” Olusegun Obasanjo said. “If the president got the information within 12 hours of the act and he reacted immediately, I believe those girls would have been rescued within 24 hours, maximum 48 hours.”
Instead, Obasanjo said, “the president had doubts: ‘Is this true, or is it a ploy by people who don’t want me to be president again?’”
