Co-founder of the Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) Movement Aisha Yesufu has responded to her detractors on social media who are accusing her of staying silent in the face of worsening economic situation in the country.
Her detractors said on Twitter that she criticised the government of former President Goodluck Jonathan over fuel subsidy but that she has been quiet since fuel price has been going up, more recently the increase from N138.62 to N151.56.
Mrs Yesufu referred to her old tweets in her defence on Thursday.
“Buharists oooooh. They will take the sub not even meant for them. This my tweet to those calling for Ojota activists to come protest is what they are falling over and brought up my old tweet.
“Thank God for consistency. Even during GEJ I always supported removal of subsidy,” she wrote.
Her critics also said she attacked Mr Jonathan for the inability to rescue over 200 schoolgirls who were kidnapped in Chibok, Borno State by Boko Haram on April 14, 2014; but that she had grown cold under President Muhammadu Buhari.
She responded, saying: “All the girls are not back. 112 are still in captivity. 107 are back. How many did GEJ’s government bring back?”
Yesufu dared those who led the Occupy Nigeria protests against the removal of fuel subsidy by Jonathan’s administration to take to the streets again following the latest increase in fuel price.
