In an interview, Ogebe stressed that what the immediate past regime did regarding the abducted girls was an unmitigated disaster.

He noted that instead of addressing the issues at hand, Jonathan’s cabinet raised conspiracy theories, attacked the parents of the abducted girls, claiming that the opposition were out to rubbish them.

According to the rights lawyer, the Jonathan administration turned the event into a publicity stunt.

He said Jonathan and his team went on to hire PR companies at millions of dollars to launder their image.

According to Ogebe, more money has been spent by government fighting the campaign than it was used in assisting the cause of the girls.
