#DapchiGirls Release: Muslim Group Slams Jonathan’s ‘Bad Faith’

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has been subjected to ridicule by the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) following the release of many of the 110 schoolgirls abducted in Dapchi, Yobe State, by Boko Haram terrorists.

MURIC’s mockery of Jonathan is coming after the All Progressives Congress (APC) also mocked the former president for not being able to secure the release of the 276 Chibok schoolgirls that were abducted under his administration by the insurgents.

Speaking through its Director, Ishaq Akintola, the Muslim group said President Muhammadu Buhari’s recovery of part of the Dapchi girls is a clear disparity between “goodwill and bad faith”.

MURIC’s statement read, “Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan can now see the difference between action and inaction, between goodwill and bad faith and between lukewarm attitude and proactiveness.

“Chibok and Dapchi are now reference points in a tale of two Commander-in-Chiefs: one who turns the other cheek while his army turns and runs and another who takes immediate action and puts insurgents on the run.

“We, therefore, call on Nigerians to continue to support President Muhammadu Buhari.

“We charge FG to ensure adequate protection for all the schools in the insurgency zone. Defeated, frustrated, bankrupt and hungry, Boko Haram is looking for ways of embarrassing FG, sourcing for food and ransom money. We must never be caught napping again.

“However, we are saddened by the loss of five of the girls. We sympathise with their parents and pray that Allah will grant them Aljannah Firdaus.

“We also pray that Almighty Allah will give the parents the strength to bear the loss.”
