Tinubu Wife accused Jonathan over the handling of the Chibok Girls – Is she serious?

Senator Oluremi Tinubu has decried the Federal Government’s handling of the rescue of over 200 students kidnapped from Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok on 14 April this year.

The Senator representing Lagos Central Senatorial District, who stated this on Sunday during a news conference in Lagos, southwest Nigeria, to mark her third anniversary of representing the constituency at the Senate, blamed the President Goodluck Jonathan-led Federal Government for the poorly handled rescue efforts.

She lamented that President Jonathan is not doing anything meaningful to bring the girls back and said she was worried about the high level of insecurity in the country.

According to her, instead of the President attending to burning national issues and finding lasting solutions to them, he was in Ekiti State campaigning for Ayo Fayose, the Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate in the 21 June election.

My Take:

As much as I have respect for this woman I find it strange that she is talking about the Chibok girls now, like 56 days after they were abducted. Where has she been all these days when people were protesting in Abuja, Lagos and other parts of the world, and carry placards, posting pics of BringBackOurGirls. 

And secondly, you mean to tell me she has been in the house of Senate for this long and this is the first story I am reading and in fact writing about her? What is her impact in the house, I mean her real impact not just political talk?

It’s easy to accuse other people of not doing enough but its best to take a very good look at yourself too. How can someone be in the house of Senate and I have never written anything about them, it scary. It means possibly two things:

It’s either the person is invisible or the person is not outstanding in whatever he or she does.

I think it’s a little too late to be talking about the way the President handled the Chibok issue, we have long passed that, attempting to do so now, will only be playing politicking and that’s what we certainly don’t want anymore.
