Presidential media aide Dada Olusegun has countered claims that President Bola Tinubu is dodging responsibility for the abduction of students and teachers in Oyo State. Responding to an X user who resurfaced an old Tinubu tweet criticising former President Goodluck Jonathan over the Chibok kidnappings, Dada stated that unlike Jonathan, Tinubu has taken full responsibility for the incident and has never denied it happened. The exchange comes amid ongoing criticism of the government’s handling of the May 15 abduction.
Key Points:
The aide’s comparison between Tinubu and Jonathan may deepen political debate, but does not advance rescue efforts.
Families of abducted victims care more about results than who takes responsibility.
Acknowledging the incident is a basic step, but action and rescue are what Nigerians demand.
The exchange distracts from the core issue: 39 pupils and seven teachers remain in captivity.
Political defensiveness risks alienating citizens who want solutions, not comparisons.
The government must translate “responsibility” into tangible rescue operations, as public patience wears thin.
