Three weeks have passed since the abduction of pupils and teachers from the LA Primary School and Community Grammar School in Oyo State by terrorists and efforts to rescue them by the federal government have not yielded any result.
Many Nigerians who witnessed President Bola Tinubu’s condemnations of the abduction of the Chibok girls cannot believe that abductions of school children are happening under his watch.
When the Chibok girls were abducted in Borno State in 2014 under the then President Goodluck Jonathan, President Tinubu’s voice was one of the loudest in the media space, as the then leader of the main opposition party against Jonathan’s government.
His party, the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and later the All Progressives Congress (APC), and its spokesman, Lai Mohammed, used derogatory and abusive words to describe Jonathan’s government – clueless, ineffective, and inefficient.
They also claimed that Nigeria was on auto-pilot.
