TUC, APC women’s leader, others to Jonathan: rescue the girls or quit

The Rivers State chapter of the Trade Union Congress (TUC) and the Women’s Leader of the state chapter of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Evang. Carol Nagbo, demanded yesterday the resignation of the Goodluck Jonathan administration over the abducted schoolgirls from Chibok, Borno State. In separate reactions in Port Harcourt, the state capital, the women’s leader and the TUC Chairman, Chika Onugbu, said the Jonathan administration should take more decisive actions to free the Chibok girls or step down. The union leader noted that the deteriorating security situation might lead to a bigger problem, if the government fails to take more serious action to free the schoolgirls and other missing Nigerians. He said: “The best option is for this government to step down or resign, because the way things are going, it will become a territorial conflict. The Jonathan government must be fast on any approach to free the innocent girls.” Evang. Nagbo said the
abduction of the girls and the delay by the Federal Government to free them from their captors indicated that there was no government in Nigeria. The politician said the best way to prove the weakness of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at the national level was to force it to resign. According lives to her, any government that cannot protect the lives of its citizens is not worthy to be trusted. Evang. Nagbo said: “The Jonathan government has failed the people; Dr Jonathan should resign. We have no government, and we cannot continue to live in shame in our country. It is a disgrace that the future leaders of this country are somewhere shedding the tears of sorrow because their government has failed in its responsibility.”
