Former education Minister, Oby Ezekwesili has accused the President Jonathan-led administration of hiring a Washington-based PR firm to launder the regime's image in the aftermath of the missing Chibok girls saga

In a fresh twist to the ongoing Chibok girls kidnap saga, former education minister Oby Ezekwesili has accused the President Jonathan-led administration of hiring a Washington-based public relations firm to fix the government's lagging reputation in the aftermath of the Chibok crisis.

On April 2014, 276 female students were reportedly kidnapped from the Government Secondary School, Chibok and ever since, there have been several speculations, accusations and counter-accusations trailing the unfortunate incident, the latest being Ezekwesili's allegation.

The one-time Minister of Solid Minerals stated that the Nigeria government hired PR firm, Levick to launder its image by deceiving and alternating the story for Nigerians. She made this known through a series of angry tweets as seen above.

Meanwhile the firm in question had reportedly released a statement earlier on behalf of President Jonathan regarding the cancellation of the meeting with parents of abducted Chibok children and five escapees alluding that the entire situation was being politicised. But Oby Ezekwesili has dismissed it all as lies stating that the firm was merely exploiting the situation to make money.

Read the statement allegedly released by Levick on behalf of President Jonathan and let us know what you make of this recent twist in the Chibok saga?
