Reacting to the gruesome murder, Ezekwesili urged the President not to be hurt rather pursue justice for victims of the insurgent group.
She wrote:
You are hurt, Mr President @MBuhari ?
Imagine. 43 of your citizens were just beheaded within the territory you swore an oath to defend and you are telling us “I am hurt” .Please don’t be hurt.
Be hot in your pursuit of justice for the dead.
Be hot against evil in the land. https://t.co/k1VTPuwwMA— Oby Ezekwesili (@obyezeks) November 28, 2020
