We Support Our Government -’ Nigerians,Military Slam Ezekwesili,Others For Questioning Victory Over BH

As Nigerian Military gains momentum in the quest to wipe out Boko Haram, Nigerians in an unusual manner reacted in support of the government, angered and condemning the demands by the perceived politically motivated statement released by the #BringBackOurGirls BBOG coalition, demanding verifiable evidence of victories over Boko Haram insurgents from the Military authorities despite the Press statement and pictures of the operation which were released by the Nigerian Defence Headquarters after the operation in Baga.

Most Nigerians especially Abuja residents and Social Media users according to report by The Abuja Inquirer, were of the view that the controversial statement released on behalf of Mrs. Oby Ezekwesili, was traitorous and an indicator that some people are not happy that the government is winning the war against Boko Haram terrorists in the North East part of the country as it jeopardizes their main campaign against President Jonathan’s government.

Speaking on the demand, Bar. Uche Uke said it was sad that the group could make such request at a time when the Military was gaining grounds, she said: “This is incredulous. I think free speech is being taken too far by these people with their demands. It is a shame they have not rallied against Boko Haram rather against the government. They are traitors in short.” Another  person also held Mr. Atanda Adeyemi said : These people should be called to order.” 

Similarly, speaking Meje Apanmiran said; “President Jonathan remains my president at this time, the opposition should go and find another campaign issue as their Boko Haram campaign issue an attacks on the government and the Military no longer holds water. Nigerians are not fools” he said.

In a telephone chat, the Nigerian Military’s reacted that they are encouraged by the show of support from well meaning Nigerians, and  puzzled by the group’s deliberately turning a blind side to the many evidences presented by the Military already, the Nigerian Military spokesperson Gen. Chris Olukolade said “It seems that it is only the so-called #BringBackOurGirls group that has not seen all the pictures that accompany the recent DHQ press statements on the war against terror. We think the group should try and check properly.

The vast majority of well meaning Nigerians appreciates the efforts and sacrifice of their Military. We are humbled by their continuous show of support, solidarity and encouragement as we battle not only to free our girls but to stamp out terrorism in our dear country.”
