Following the incessant abduction of students across the Northern part of the country, former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili has alleged that there is a “strange incestuous relationship between government and abductors.”
Ezekwesili, the Presidential Candidate of Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN) in the 2019 election stated this on Friday in a string of tweets via its official Twitter handle.
According to her, the relationship between the state governors and abductors had enabled the industry of abduction to flourish.
Speaking further, she lamented that friendship with abductors is being thrown in the face of citizens by those in authority.
She tweets, “There’s now an industry of abduction flourishing on basic market principles of demand and supply.
"It is enabled by a strange incestuous relationship between the government and the abductors. Folks in Federal and State Governments are throwing this friendship in the faces of Citizens. SHAME.”
"Still no positive development on the Kagara Boys abduction, @NigeriaGov? Truly disastrous that Education is now under the daily threat of barbarism. May God keep them safe until President Buhari reaches out to their abductors as he did for #KankaraBoys in Katsina
In another post, the former Minister faulted the statement that bandits deserve sympathy which was made by the Governor of Zamfara State, Bello Matawalle.

She said, “They were deliberate in coercing the Media to support their Rebranding of Terrorists as “Bandits”. Yesterday, I read that a Governor of Zamfara said, “Bandits deserve sympathy from Nigerians”. A man whose people are being killed daily by his rebranded terrorists.”
Speaking on Leah Sharibu, she wrote, How the same kind of phone call and conversation between the @NigeriaGov @MBuhari and the abductors of #KankaraBoys cannot be done for #LeahSharibu and our remaining #112ChibokGirls is befuddling. Are school children in Nigeria not meant to be equal in the eyes of our President?
It is 3 years today since the parents of #LeahSharibu last set their eyes on their daughter they sent to Dapchi Secondary School. Not a word from @MBuhari. No. Not a simple care nor courtesy to a family devastated when @NigeriaGov got her 105 classmates back without Leah. SHAME.

May God keep them safe until President @MBuhari reaches out to their abductors like he did for #KankaraBoys in Katsina. ✍?
