Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, a former Minister of Education has declared that there is no one in charge as the President of Nigeria.

Kaduna State Governor, Nasir el-Rufai, has countered those circulating his statement on kidnapping before becoming governor.
The governor, seen in a 2014 video clip blaming President Goodluck Jonathan for not deploying all possible means to secure Chibok girls abducted by Boko Haram in 2014, was accused of refusal to negotiate with kidnappers terrorising his state and secure Kaduna citizens. x
Responding to the public accusations, the governor, through his Special Adviser on Media and Communication, Mr. Muyiwa Adekeye, said the quantum of money paid as ransom following many negotiations with bandits had neither stopped kidnappings nor deterred the criminals from perpetrating evil.
