SOURCE: Nigerian First-Lady Behind ‘Military Ban’ to #BringBackOurGirls

A trusted inner-circle confidant of the Nigerian
President, Goodluck Jonathan has revealed that the
First-Lady/president’s wife, Patience Jonathan is
behind the refusal of the State security services and
defense forces to rescue and free over 200 girls
abducted from a school in Chibok, mid April.
According to the source who demanded absolute

confidentiality, the President told him that his wife
said, “the girls and their families must suffer as she
suffered humiliation in the eyes of the world,” further
threatening the president that “he should get rid of her
(President’s wife) first, before he dares to order the
rescue of the abducted girls.”
The source said that this is why several successful
efforts to free the girls were aborted by executive
order of the president at the last minute. Source said
the American experts involved in rescuing the girls
were exasperated — that despite accurate intelligence
shared which made safe rescue missions possible since
several weeks ago, Nigeria simply refused to give the
order.
It would be recollected that a Boko Haram
sympathizer and chief negotiator, Ahmad Saldika was
flown in from the UAE to negotiate the release of the
girls in early June. He had successfully struck a deal
and took a video showing the girls with Boko Haram to
the presidential Villa, however at the last minute when
the swap of the girls for non-combatant Boko Haram
‘sympathizer’ prisoners was to be conducted, the
president suddenly called in from France where he
was attending an anti-terror summit, and aborted the
mission. He said that this was due to pressure from his
wife.


The source also reminded us that when the Chief of
Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh had
revealed to Nigeria that they knew exactly where the
abducted girls were, the presidency displayed its anger
towards him for making this known to the press.

He explained that president Goodluck Jonathan’s
hands were tied by his wife who felt so humiliated
when videos, songs and even T-shirts of her crying
and making incoherent utterances [#DiaRISGODo]
went viral. Source said, she took it very personal with
the victims, the teachers and families for turning her
down when she invited them over for a coffee meeting
to crush the globally spreading scandal of the
abduction.

Source further said, the First-lady has never felt so
humiliated in her life, and recognized that the scandal
of the abduction and failed efforts including her and
government denials, and publication of a fake rescue
after the event, made this (abduction) incident the
major challenge to a second term ambition. As such,
she said for as long as she lives, the girls must remain
in the forest and die with the terrorists.
According to our reliable informant, it is open
knowledge in executive and top military circles that
the 200+ girls could be rescued within 24 hours of an
order by the president however such order was not
forthcoming due to ‘domestic matters.’
“If you want the girls out tomorrow, talk to Patience,”
he concluded.
