When reports from credible sources such as Reuters posted President Jonathan was due to visit Chibok for the first time since the abduction of over 200 nigerian school girls, many were relieved,

Contrary to reports carried by various media platforms including yours sincerely, TheCable has broken the news that President Jonathan wouldn’t be visiting Chibok, instead, he is due to fly out to France.

TheCable reported that a presidency source has denied the report.

“Presidential spokesman Reuben Abati has issued a statement that the president will be travelling to France today (Friday). That is the fact.

The president is not going to Chibok. Simple as that,” the source said.

The president has been widely criticised for not visiting the scene of the abduction saga which is generating global attention following a social media campaign, #BringBackOurGirls. “If the president is going to Chibok, it will not be advertised in the media,” the source explained. “He would have left by the time you hear.”

The official said it would be “foolhardy” to expect the president to tell the world he was on his way to Chibok. “That will just give Boko Haram a great opportunity to organise an embarrassment of international proportions for the president, just to prove a point.

You don’t hear President Obama is going to see American troops in Afghanistan or Iraq until he has arrived and departed,” the source explained. No country will put the president in harm’s way, the official said.

Very true. We expect to have press release in the nearest future informing all that the President had indeed visited Chibok, with photographs as evidence. Not that I am insinuating anything incredulous.
