Abducted Girls: First Lady’s Intervention Distracting, Counter-productive – APCAyo Balogun, LagosThe All Progressives Congress (APC) has decried the melodramatic intervention of First Lady Dame Patience Jonathan in the abduction of over 200 school girls as distracting, counter-productive and calibrated to scapegoat others with the sole intention of exculpating her husband rather than finding the girls. It warned that melodrama, highlighted by the shedding of made-for-television crocodile tears, cannot and will not bring the girls back safely to their parents. Therefore, enough of the distracting, absurd and overbearing show that the First Lady has put up in the past few days,” APC said. ”The First Lady has summoned the Borno State Police Commissioner; the Divisional Police Officer for Chibok; the Borno State Commissioner for Education, the relevant Local Government Chairman, the school principal and the school gate man, among others. ”These girls, who are mostly within the age-range of 16-18, are children, and deserved to be protected.
