Former Minister of Education, Oby
Ezekwesili has slammed the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity,
Femi Adesina for being evasive in his reaction to the recent audio clip by
kidnapped Dapchi schoolgirl, Leah Sharibu.
Leah, one of the 119 students of
the Government Girls Secondary School, Dapchi, Yobe State, kidnapped by Boko
Haram terrorists in February, spoke from captivity in an audio recording
published yesterday.
Speaking in the Hausa Language,
she begged President Muhammadu Buhari to come to her rescue.
Adesina, while speaking on
Channels TV programme, Sunrise Daily, on Tuesday said God is interested in her
and will ensure that she is preserved.
“For how much longer, I think
that question can only be answered by God. I believe that God is interested in
that young girl and will ensure that she is preserved.
“I think when that clip that we
have is verified, at least one will be sure that it’s her and when that is
determined, we should all be glad that she is alive.
“When will she return, by the
grace of God, the government is working on it and we believe she will be back,”
Adesina remarked.
Ezekwesili reacted to the remark
on Twitter, with many knocks on Adesina for his comments.
She tweeted: “Who else listened
to the President’s media aide Femi Adesina find anything worthy to laugh about
while speaking about abducted children & their parents?
“A Spokesperson that never has
FACTS on Hot Button Issues — ‘I believe’ ‘I expect’, ‘some agency not
Presidency’. Na REAL waa.
“I forced myself to listen to a
Media Aide to the President who seems to blame Nigerians for not ‘seeing’ the
imaginary great things that have been done.
“Totally TONE DEAF and lacking
the capacity to LEARN from perennial failures of the administration he
communicates. BIG SHAME.”
