Governor of Ekiti Ayodele Fayose says he has doubts about the release of 21 Chibok girls.

In a statement by his Special Assistant on Public Communication and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Mr. Fayose said the claims may just be another propaganda by the Federal Government.

“Nigerians are no longer interested in the lies and make believes of the APC-led federal government. Rather, Nigerians want the economy fixed and food on their tables,” he said.

Expressing his doubts, he wondered why the release of the girls occurred less than 24 hours after the Boko Haram terrorists bombed a motor garage in Maiduguri.

“As for me, I keep my fingers crossed on this reported release of 21 Chibok girls. This is because we were once told by this same government that one of the girls was released and the girl, who was supposed to be writing Physics WAEC examination then could not speak one sentence in English,” Mr. Fayose said.

“Again, it was reported yesterday that Boko Haram bombed Maiduguri, Borno State and killed more than 10 people. How the same Boko Haram insurgents that bombed Maiduguri yesterday could release 21 Chibok girls today is a question Nigerians must ask.

“Until proved otherwise, the story still appears like one of the diversionary tactics of the federal government.”

The statement further said, “We have heard enough stories on corruption, the federal government should give Nigerians food. The people are suffering and their sufferings must be attended to by the federal government.

“Propaganda, cheap lies and diversionary tactics must give way for serious governance.”
