#bringbackourgirls: U.S Senate President - "We Offered Pres. Goodluck Jonathan From Day One, He Rejected & Ignored"

In a statement released to the press, The U.S Senate President, John Kerry has stated that they offered to help Nigeria from Day one and that Nigeria’s president Goodluck Jonathan wanted to handle the situation his own way with his own strategy, rejected all the offer from the U.S and as we can all see its been three weeks, Jonathan’s strategy failed the people of Nigeria. Until Barack Obama and the U.S Secretary got on the phone to call Jonathan about the international growing concerns of boko haram and the abduction of the girls, several bombing that took several lives in Nyanya, Abuja.


Secretary of State John Kerry said the U.S. had been in touch with Nigeria “from day one” of the crisis. But repeated offers of U.S. assistance were ignored until Kerry got on the phone Tuesday with Jonathan amid growing international concern and outrage over the fate of the girls in the weeks since their abduction.
Kerry said Nigeria apparently wanted to pursue its own strategy, but now realizes more needs to be done.
“I think now the complications that have arisen have convinced everybody that there needs to be a greater effort,” Kerry said at a State Department news conference. “And it will begin immediately. I mean, literally, immediately.”
A statement from Jonathan’s office said the U.S. offer “includes the deployment of U.S. security personnel and assets to work with their Nigerian counterparts in the search and rescue operation.” The statement added that Nigeria’s security agencies are working at “full capacity” to find the girls and welcomes the addition of American “counter-insurgency know-how and expertise.”
Nigeria’s Islamic extremist leader, Abubakar Shekau, has claimed responsibility for the abduction and has threatened to sell the girls. Shekau also warned that Boko Haram will attack more schools and abduct more girls. Boko Haram means “Western education is sinful.”
The State Department on Tuesday warned U.S. citizens against travelling to Nigeria.
