ABUJA — SENATOR Ita Enang has attributed the continuous protests in Abuja against the April 14 abduction of over 200 girls from Chibok, in Borno State by members of the Boko Haram Islamist sect, to All Progressives Congress, APC.

Enang said the protesters were picking daily bills from the party, which was bent on ruining President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration in the buildup to the 2015 general election.
He wondered why the protesters had not deemed it fit to direct their actions against Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno State who, he noted, defied security reports prior to the girls’ abduction.

The senator, who spoke yesterday when he received executive members of Akwa Ibom community in Abuja who paid him a courtesy visit, insisted that the demonstrators were wrong in blaming President Goodluck Jonathan for the abduction, saying the Borno State governor should be held responsible since governors were the chief security officers of their respective states.
