RESCUE OUR GIRLS OR RESIGN,
CHIBOK PARENTS TELL BUHARI
Friday, 26th August, 2016
Parents protesting the failure of the
Federal Government to rescue over 200 schoolgirls abducted by the Boko Haram
sect in Chibok in 2014 have asked President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately
rescue the girls from captivity or resign.
The parents, who joined the #BringBackOurGirls
coalition on Thursday for another protest march to the Presidential Villa, were
again stopped by armed policemen.
A representative of the parents, Rev. Enoch Mark,
accused the Federal Government of not doing enough to rescue the girls, saying
the government should negotiate for their release.
Mark, whose two daughters were among the 219 schoolgirls abducted by Boko
Haram, said he suffered a stroke while worrying about his daughters.
He insisted that Buhari
must negotiate with Boko Haram for the release of the schoolgirls.
He said, “We cast our
votes for Buhari because he promised to rescue our girls. Now, the parents are
asking you, Mr. President, to meet the insurgents and make a decision.
“Either use the military
force or go for negotiation; some countries are ready to give you a helping
hand. What are you waiting for? Are you not interested in bringing back our
girls? Read more
