Former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to explain exactly what happened at with the students of Government Science Secondary School Kankara, instead of commending himself.

Ezekwesili who said this while appearing on Channels TV on Saturday asked Buhari to explain what happened in his state after he arrived in his hometown for a weeklong visit.

“For us to congratulate a government that created a problem and said it solved it? We shouldn’t be doing that. The society should learn how to hold people accountable.

“The President should be disgusted with what happened, not commending himself. What is he clapping for? Those children were put in harm’s way. And now he said he’s rescued them.

“Maybe the President sent the children on an excursion to terrorists so they can release children at will to him.

“He needs to tell us exactly what happened with the Kankara kids. There is a problem. This country should not be taken for a ride by President Buhari and his government.

“This is very unbecoming and the whole world is laughing at us. They think we are jokers. Many countries didn’t even bother to show that anything had happened in our country because they felt who are these people and what are they doing to themselves?” Ezekwesili said.

It will be recalled that over 300 Katsina schoolboys were abducted by bandits last weekend.

The students who were released on Thursday proceeded to meet with President Buhari on Friday.
