The Minister of Information, Labaran Maku, on Wednesday claimed that over 90 percent of those staging the #BringBackOurGirls’ protest are members of All Progressives Congress, APC.
Maku described Jonathan’s achievement after three years in office as a ‘miracle.’
According to him, the President should be commended instead of condemned, because of the feats he achieved despite the many challenges confronting his government.
Maku made these observations while answering questions from State House correspondents after the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting presided over by Jonathan.
The minister further added that a lot of the nation’s resources were being spent by the Federal Government on insecurity in states controlled by the opposition party.
He said, “The entire money we are spending is to maintain security in states controlled by that party. So why do you come back and start playing politics?
“We are busy spending money to maintain security in those states, what have they done about it? Because 90 percent of all insurgency is in states controlled by that party, 90 percent of those campaigning to bring back Chibok girls are members of that party.
“I think that honestly if we want this country to grow, we must ask the relevant questions. The Chibok girls remain our number one priority, we will never sleep, we will not rest until God brings them out.
“The Federal Government is a fire fighter. We did not create this insurgency or the structure that led to them, you know where they came from but you are now blaming the fire fighter for the fire.
“We believe that the President needs to be congratulated and we did so because we believe what he has done in the last three years is a miracle if we look at the challenges, clear bottlenecks that were placed on his path by some of us the citizens of this country”, he said.
