Former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili on Monday charged
President Muhammadu Buhari to always tell Nigerians the truth when it
comes to insurgency so as to stop creating doubts in the minds of the
citizenry.
Ezekwesili who is the leader of the BringBackOurGirls, BBOG, movement made the call at the group’s usual sit-out in Abuja.
Ezekwesili
said, “The government cannot afford to go to the old ways where lies
were fed to the people. Let there be truthfulness. Government should not
create a trust deficit syndrome because it will be difficult to mend.
Everything that the government is doing concerning the war, they should
tell the truth. We will get used to it and join in the solution.”
Stating
that BBOG will continue to demand for the return of the kidnapped
Chibok girls, Ezekwesili beckoned on the President to fulfill the
promise he made to the parents of the kidnapped girls.
“What drove
us out of our comfort zone is that we got tired of not doing anything.
We will continue with our core value. No matter what anyone want to do,
this advocacy will continue. A pledge is a pledge. We made a pledge to
parents of the Chibok girls and will not fail in this pledge.”
