Former President Goodluck Jonathan says the 2014 abduction of the Chibok schoolgirls remains a painful scar on his legacy that he will “die with.”
Speaking in Abuja at the launch of Scars: Nigeria’s Journey and the Boko Haram Conundrum, a memoir by former Chief of Defence Staff General Lucky Irabor, Jonathan describes Irabor as “a soldier who stood for truth and never played politics with security.”
According to Mediaplusng.com, Jonathan reflects on his tenure and the global outrage that followed the Chibok tragedy, saying:
> “One of the major scars on my government is the Chibok Girls. As Bishop Kukah said, no plastic or cosmetic surgeon can remove it. It is a scar I will die with.”
