He made the assertion at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Osun State on Friday, February 5, during an event put together by the OAU Staff Club.
Obasanjo stated that the girls may not be getting rescued by anybody because nobody has knowledge of their whereabouts.
Speaking on the hopes of recovering the girls, Obasanjo said: “The search for the abducted Chibok girls may not be fruitful. Nobody can bring back the girls because they are nowhere to be found.”
He said that former president Goodluck Jonathan responded too late to the news of the mass kidnap of the schoolgirls which afforded the terrorists time to take the girls far away.
He said that Jonathan did not respond to the call until after 72 hours.
Obasanjo believes that the best effort at rescuing he girls could come up with would be finding just a few of the kidnapped girls.
He also said that the defeat of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2015 general elections is a blessing in disguise for the nation while expressing his happiness that his former party, which he was in when he became president of the nation, has lost its hold on power after 16 years.
The former President however flipped over when a lecturer asked him why he did not give any money to the National Assembly during his stint as president.
Obasanjo declared that the lecturer was ignorant of the happenings during the said time and should quit trying to question his intelligence.
“You don’t know so many things that transpired during my administration and so many things were not resolved, so don’t attack my intelligence and personality,” he said.
Unapologetic of his actions and inaction in office, he said he would do all what he did while in office if he had the same opportunity again.
