Former
President Goodluck Jonathan has challenged Borno State Governor, Kashim
Shettima to offer plausible explanations “for the ignoble roles he
played in worsening the Boko Haram tragedy in his home state.” This is
coming as some concerned Borno State stakeholders are calling on
Shettima to account for how he has been managing the state’s finances
and the expenditure on Internally Displaced Persons for almost eight
years. In statement issued yesterday by his Media Adviser, Ikechukwu
Eze, in response to criticism of his book (My Transition Hours) by
Shettima, the former president said in the past four years, the Borno
governor had been living in denial, “towing an evasive path he has
cleverly beaten for himself. What he may not know is that he is only
walking the path of a villain.” In another statement issued by Reno
Omokri on his behalf, Jonathan told the Buhari administration to leave
him alone and face Transparency International, that reported that
Nigeria was more corrupt today than under the last Peoples Democratic
Party’s government. On the Borno governor, Jonathan was quoted as
saying:“On Wednesday Nigerians were treated to a noisy but feeble
defence by Borno Governor Kashim Shettima who, only ended up showcasing a
jaded ritual of chest-thumbing, rather than offer plausible
explanations for the ignoble roles he played in worsening the Boko Haram
tragedy in his home state.In the past four years, he has been living in
denial, towing an evasive path he has cleverly beaten for himself. What
he may not know is that he is only walking the path of a villain. Once
demand is made on him to explain why he deliberately ignored both the
directive of both the Federal Ministry of Education and the West African
Examinations Council (WAEC) for Governors to keep candidates in the
affected locations out of harm’s way by relocating them to safer areas
for their exams, he goes asking for the release of the report of Gen.
Ibrahim Sabo-led facts-finding committee set up by President Jonathan.”Governor Shettima has a lot of questions to answer on Boko Haram tragedy - Goodluck Jonathan
