Former Minister of Education, Public Analyst/Senior Economic Advisor, Oby Ezekwesili has condemned the high rate of insecurity in the country whIle accusing the Buhari-led administration of bandits a thriving environment.
Ezekwesili said this while condemning the abduction of 27 Kagara students from Niger State.
She said a strange incestuous relationship now exists between the government and abductors.
The ex-minister said the friendship has enabled the industry of abduction to flourish in Nigeria on basic market principles of demand and supply.
Taking a swipe at the government, Ezekwesili said she hoped the students remain safe until President Muhammadu Buhari ‘reaches out to the abductors’.
Ezekwesili who took to Twitter wrote: “Still no positive development on the Kagara students abduction, @NigeriaGov? Truly disastrous that Education is now under the daily threat of barbarism.
“May God keep them safe until President Buhari reaches out to their abductors as he did for #KankaraBoys in Katsina.
Still no positive development on the #KagaraBoys abduction, @NigeriaGov ?
Truly disastrous that Education is now under daily threat of barbarism.
May God keep them safe until President @MBuhari reaches out to their abductors like he did for #KankaraBoys in Katsina. ✍🏾

How the same kind of phone call and conversation between the @NigeriaGov @MBuhari and the abductors of #KankaraBoys cannot be done for #LeahSharibu and our remaining #112ChibokGirls is befuddling.
Are school children in Nigeria not meant to be equal in the eyes of our President?— Oby Ezekwesili (@obyezeks) February 19, 2021
It is 3 years today since the parents of #LeahSharibu last set their eyes on their daughter they sent to Dapchi Secondary School.
Not a word from @MBuhari . No. Not a simple care nor courtesy to a family devastated when @NigeriaGov got her 105 classmates back without Leah. SHAME.— Oby Ezekwesili (@obyezeks) February 19, 2021
In another post, she twisted: “There’s now an industry of abduction flourishing on basic market principles of demand and supply. It is enabled by a strange incestuous relationship between the government and the abductors.
“Folks in Federal and State Governments are throwing this friendship in faces of Citizens. SHAME.”
