Elder statesman and chieftain of the PDP Alhaji Tanko Yakasai over the weekend explained why
he thinks President Jonathan didn't visit Chibok.He said:
"Why I think the president's decision not to visit the area is not bad is because we were all aware of the deteriorating level of insecurity in that part of the country. We all
know it was too risky for the president to visit Chibok at that time. The president is not a soldier, soldiers are the people that
should be sent there. If I was the president and such an incident occurred, the right thing for me to do was to send soldiers and
to be frank, our soldiers are doing their best. We are hearing on radio and reading on newspapers how soldiers are being killed
but yet they are doing their best.
I don't know what is happening, the Minister of Defence, Ali Gussy, is a northerner, the National Security Adviser is a northerner, the
Inspector General of Police is northerner, the Chief of Defence Staff is also a northerner.
"All Nigerian soldiers are under his order, if all these people cannot address the problembhow would it be easy for the president to do
it? Don't forget that suicide bombers are now experts, so what will happen if they ambushed the president and something bad
happened to him? Do you think his people will accept that? Except if people want the country to return to the Niger Delta militants era."
