Funmi Olaitan, Ibadan
National Chairman and Presidential Candidate of National Action Council (NAC), Dr. Olapade Agoro, on Thursday, called on President Muhammadu Buhari not to allow himself to be rubbished with the release of the Dapchi girls by Boko Haram insurgents.
Agoro who made the call in a statement issued in Ibadan on the release of the abducted Dapchi students, described the circumstances surrounding the release of the students as play out of "Con Artists Celebration of Fraud"
He said, "Obviously ‘the best language of a fool is self delusion’ this laughingly summarizing the narratives of the arranged abduction and thereafter playing to the global gallery with an arranged freedom of the innocent 105 Dapchi school girls.
"Truism of this play out of the ‘Con Artists Celebration of Fraud’ is that somebody, somewhere is fooling somebody somehow with the unexpected dreaded Boko Haram suddenly becoming Father Christmas ‘freeing the 105 Dapchi abducted 105 school girls’ with parting gifts."
The NAC leader emphasized that going by the dramatic return of the abducted students by the Boko Haram insurgents, there are many questions for the Presidency to answer to be able to convince Nigerians on the matter.
"The questions begging for urgent answers from Mr Buhari and his APC led government are: how was the arranged abduction carried out unnoticeable by the military and the Nigeria Police? What preemptive actions had been so far taken by the Federal government to unearth the full derails of the abduction", he stated.
The statement read in part, "How many of the Boko Haram vehicles and their types were involved in the abduction? What route did the Boko Haram vehicles take to abduct the girls and to where were the freed girls brought? Who and who negotiated and were actually involved with the Boko Haram prior to freedom of the Dapchi school girls? Who and or what killed five of the abducted girls rumoured to have been buried in the bush and infact who buried their remains.
"The Nation shall need clear cut answers to these questions in the interest of knowing where we are in this unending pain-inflicting on the conscience of us all and as well putting paid to money, materials and human resources consuming Boko Haram insurgency.
"Unusual of Buhari a very good, non liar Muslim, however simply because of the upcoming 2019 election allowed himself to be co-opted to play along with the cabals and scammers in the presidency in chains against himself Dapchi school girls release, "play out of Con celebration of fraud".
