We heard that govt has denied engaging Mr Davis..hardly surprising though . In all honesty both the govt and the Media are the offending lots here..when the news broke out that Davis was meeting the terrorist to wade into the crisis , a weakened or may b overwhelmed and confused govt welcomed the idea , no denial then - as of then , just anything will do..the level of complicity and guilt of the govt is again on display here.. Why did the govt not disown Mr Davis when the media was awash with the news of his presence in the scene of negotiation..sure his name , before now had featured many times over. The govt had enough time to disown him then ..but turning around now to disown him underscores a bitter fact , which is , the govt is not pleased with his disclosure..govt is not pleased with his findings. The question then is why is govt not comfortable with his findings.. the normal thing to do , if govt has nothing to hide is to dig in and countervail but surely not to disown him now..besides this man never claimed that he was appointed by the govt, that bit was Nigeria's media creation and the govt was comfortable with it then.. Stephen Davis is a Reverend , renowned international negotiator , he had also been with the Niger Delta militants ( picture below) on the same mission ..the picture he took with them is allover the social media, am sure you hv seen it, so this man is just doing his thing , appointed or not and we hv no reason to disown him because we are not comfortable with his revelation ..worse still, the govt has no alternative revelation on the BH sponsorship . That Davis came out to say he was not appointed was a natural honest reaction to the govt's attempt at disowning him- quite normal reaction from sincere mind I must say.. This even adds credibility to the mans character - being truthful even at a huge cost..sure the man insists on his revelation...Finally we all know that the govt run by PDP would have embraced Mr Davis if he had named innocent people that the govt and the PDP had all along been struggling to rope them in and tar them with the BH stigma..the govt is just being half smart and opportunistic
