Buhari’s administration ‘more clueless’ than Jonathan’s – Chibok girl’s mother
Esther Yakubu, the mother of one of the abducted girls, Dorcas, said President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration was “more clueless than Jonathan’s.”
She said this after seeing her daughter speak in the new video released by the Boko Haram insurgents demanding swap of their detained members with the Chibock girls.
Esther said President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration was “more clueless than Jonathan’s.”
“The Chibok girls must be rescued, they must have their lives, the future that Boko Haram tries to truncate,” she said in an emotional outburst.
Earlier, Esther had told one of our correspondents that she regretted putting Dorcas in boarding school.
“I wanted her to have the best of education, I planned to sponsor her education to whatever level she wanted, but she could not sit for her final examinations because she was abducted.”
