Aisha Yesufu, the co-convener of the Bring Back Our Girls group, BBOG, has criticised President Muhammadu Buhari for the growing kidnappings in the country.
“The body language of President Muhammadu Buhari enables the terrorists. They know that we have an ineffective President and Commander-In-Chief, we have an incompetent one, a clueless one, who does not even bother about what is happening in the country”, Yesufu said.
She spoke on a ChannelsTV programme Friday evening, against the backdrop of the recent abduction in Zamfara and the president’s reaction on security challenges.
According to Yesufu, “What I make of the statement is absolutely nothing.
“We are used to a president whose words mean nothing. He says one thing, and another thing happens.”
On Jangebe abduction of 317 female students on Friday, she said Buhari’s body language had been an enabler to the perpetrators.
“The body language of President Muhammadu Buhari enables the terrorists. They know that we have an ineffective President and Commander-In-Chief, we have an incompetent one a clueless one, who does not even bother about what is happening in the country”, the BBOG Co-convener said.
“Yesterday we buried seven military officers, the best that we have, the nation was in mourning and the President was a few minutes away from where they were and the president didn’t even turn up, what does that signify? It Is high time we begin to make serious demands on the President.
“This is such a sad moment especially with the fact that our government has not learnt anything in spite of almost seven years of advocacy that we’ve been calling on the government to do the right thing and to do the needful to ensure that the citizens are protected.
“Before the Chibok Girl’s abduction, there was actually the Guniyadi killings where 29 boys were slaughtered in their schools,” she said.
Asked on way forward, Yesufu said, “It is not in our place to give the way forward. His (the President’s) salaries are being paid for it, his needs are being taken care of. He was voted to give the way forward.”
