Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan may have a lot to worry about following the recent revelation by former British Prime Minister David Cameron who in his recent memoir, ‘For the Record’, accused Jonathan of turning down offer that would have seen the rescue of over 200 abducted Chibok girls by Boko Haram terrorists in 2014.
According to Cameron, Jonathan seemed unconcerned over reports of the missing girls as though it was nothing more than a political stunt aimed at destroying his ambition to seek re-election.
In a swift reaction, Jonathan debunked Cameron's claims saying why would he reject the help he seeks?
Although the former president gave his own side of the story with regards to the abducted girls, Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), is demanding for an apology or the the former president will know no peace.
According to MURIC, Jonathan should apologize to Nigerians rather than try to defend himself against accusation against his administration by the ex-British Prime Minister.
The group made the statement via its director, Prof. Ishaq Akintola, on Friday 11th September 2019.
It said, “The best Jonathan can do now is to apologize to Nigerians for the Chibok debacle. Jonathan should just swallow his pride and eat the humble pie. There are no two ways to it. An unreserved apology is what Nigerians are expecting and we will keep pounding the ex-president until he does the needful.
“We are concerned because that abduction emboldened the insurgents, exposed our underbelly and endangered Nigerian citizens to more criminalities. It was a huge blow to our security apparatus. Whatever threatens the safety and security of lives and properties of Nigerians must attract the interest of every serious civil society group. The Chibok incident opened the floodgate to the frequent kidnappings in the country today."
