The #BringBackOurGirls group has expressed disappointment over federal government’s commitment on the abduction and rescue of the Chibok school girls.
The group in a press release signed by its leaders Oby Ezekwesili and Aisha Yesufu stated that none of the commitments made by the government concerning the rescue of the ChibokGirls has been followed through.
“We are utterly disappointed at the Government of Nigeria’s abysmal handling of this historical tragedy and are at a loss at the obvious emotional disconnect and insincerity that have defined the actions and words of the President and his government on this matter.
“None of the commitments made by the government concerning the rescue of our ChibokGirls has been followed through. These days, we have observed a coldness, ominous silence and irritability of key officials whenever the government is reminded of its constitutional duty to rescue ChibokGirls and all other abducted citizens,” it said.
The group however added that it will continue to hold the President and his administration accountable and will remain undeterred in its demand for the rescue of the girls.
“Our movement, BBOG fails to understand why this is so but one thing definite for us is that we shall not stop keeping the President and the administration accountable. We remain undeterred in our demand. That is why even though filled with excruciating pain at the protractedness of this tragedy, we have commenced our 8-Day Global Week of Action with diverse activities to mark three years of our ChibokGirls abduction and their continued captivity by terrorists,”it said.
Recall that the group started its Global Week of Action to mark the three years abduction of the girls with Asr prayers. A special service will be held today to pray for the release of the abducted girls at the Unity Fountain. The community association is ready to lead and assist any organisation willing to come to Chibok for humanitarian services. The entire people are appreciative of Zumunta for this humanitarian gesture,” he said.
