The Federal Government has urged former president Goodluck Jonathan to stop finger-pointing over the Chibok girls who were abducted under his watch, calling such action an unnecessary distraction from ongoing efforts to secure the release of the girls who remain in captivity, long after they were abducted.
The advice was contained in a statement issued in Abuja on Monday by the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed following the former president’s reaction to the report by a British newspaper that British armed forces’ offer to attempt to rescue the girls were rebuffed by then president Jonathan.
Mohammed said ”While former President Jonathan reserves the right to defend his Administration, he should not engage in finger-pointing.”
