Chibok Girls Were Kidnapped to Present Jonathan’s Administration as Incompetent – Okupe

Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Doyin Okupe has said that Chibok Girls were kidnapped to present President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration as incompetent.

One year after the girl’s kidnap, Okupe said it was aimed at holding Jonathan’s to ransom during the elections.

In a Facebook post, Okupe said“One of the reasons the Chibok girls were kidnapped was to present Jonathan’s administration as incompetent and hold it to ransom against 2015 elections. One of the reasons the BBOG (BringBackOurGirls) was formed was to sustain and internationalise the embarrassment.

“One of the reasons President Jonathan lost the election was a national and international conspiracy predicated on this carefully choreographed and assiduously sustained perception. One of the issues that will be in the hand over notes will be the missing girls.

“What is reasonable and expedient for well-meaning men and women of good conscience is to dialogue with the incoming administration on what best new approach to employ to find and rescue the Chibok girls. Not much can be achieved, except mischief, by continuing to flog this administration on this matter.”
