Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs to President Goodluck Jonathan, Doyin Okupe, yesterday claimed that the 200 Chibok schoolgirls were abducted to make Jonathan’s government appear incompetent before Nigerians and the international community.
Okupe, in a post on Facebook said the Bring Back Our Girls Group (BBOG#) was formed with the sole aim of smearing the image of Jonathan’s government.
The presidential media aide, in his post which went viral on Facebook and twitter, and which appeared in an online media report by Daily Post said, “One of the reasons the Chibok girls were kidnapped was to present Jonathan’s administration as incompetent and hold it to ransom against 2015 elections. One of the reasons the BBOG was formed was to sustain and internationalise the embarrassment. “One of the reasons President Jonathan lost the election was a national and international conspiracy predicated on this carefully choreographed and assiduously sustained perception. One of the issues that will be in the hand over notes will be the missing girls.

“What is reasonable and expedient for well-meaning men and women of good conscience is to dialogue with the incoming administration on what best new approach to employ to find and rescue the Chibok girls.
Not much can be achieved, except mischief, by continuing to flog this administration on this matter”, Okupe added.
The top aide was once reported to have likened President Jonathan to Jesus Christ.
