Pres. Jonathan And The Visit To Chibok

I have been keeping up with the news of President Goodluck's visit to Chibok and i just can't resist but express disappointment about some ideas. Many Nigerians have ranted about his cancelled trip to Chibok. The president who has been on a very hot seat since this #ChibokKidnap while at the press conference for the Regional Security Summit that held in France on Saturday explained why he has not visited Chibok ommunity. He said:
"The school is owned by the State Government but it is the commitment of the Federal government to rebuild the school, build walls to protect it and provide facilities since it is predominantly a school that takes care of girls education so that the girls would be protected. 
"Yes I will visit Chibok, no doubt about that but what we are anxious about now is to locate the girls. These girls are not held in Chibok. If the President goes to Chibok today, does that solve any problem? Maybe psychological problem or for media relevance but you have not solved the problem. The problem facing the President and indeed the Nigerian government is to get these girls from wherever they are"

Irrespective of the president's explanation on the cancellation of Chibok trip, so many are still casting the stone! 

It might interest you to know that in my opinion, it is unnecessary for GEJ to visit Chibok. Why?  you may ask; Going back to history, this was exactly how the Northern Oligarchs cornered Aguyi Ironsi and slaughtered him! He who can't learn from history, will repeat it.
