GEJ's govt was swindled after negotiating with fake B'Haram leaders-Presidency

The Presidency has said unlike the
administration of former President
Goodluck Jonathan which was swindled
after negotiating with fake leaders of the
Boko Haram ,this government is being
careful in its bid to secure the release of
the Chibok girls abducted in April 2014.
The Special Adviser to the President on
Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina,
said this while featuring on a
programme aired on Radio Continental
102.3 FM... When asked if there were any
moves to secure their release,he said
We need to know a little bit of
what happened behind the scenes,
between the last government and
some people masquerading as the
leadership of Boko Haram who
wanted to get the Chibok girls
released. They actually turned it
into a franchise, it became a
commercial thing and they got
money, possibly in millions of
dollars, only for government to
discover it had been swindled. They
kept saying they could get the girls
released , they could interface with
Boko Haram and they went smiling
to the bank with all that money,
and nothing happened. So you
should understand why this
government is being careful and
the President has said the
genuineness of the leadership of
Boko Haram must be determined
before any negotiation takes place.
