Resign if you can't rescue our daughters; chibok parents tells Buhari.
Parents of the abducted Chibok schoolgirl on Thursday called President Muhammadu Buhari to step down if he can’t fulfil the promise he had made to the them to rescue the girls.
Rev Mark Enoch made the call in Abuja onbehalf of parents of the abducted Chibok girls.
Rev Enoch whose two children were abducted by the insurgency lamented the parents of the abducted girls have voted for the president based on the promise that he made of rescuing the girls adding that they were now regretting their decision for voting him into power.
Rev Enoch who was speaking during the #BringBackourGirls march to the Villa stated that the president kept saying that there was no credible intelligence on the girls and added that the Boko Haram sect has given him the way out by offering for negotiation.
He stated that the president cannot in honesty say he does not know where the girls are and wondered if there is any hidden agenda over the issue of the abducted girls.
“The Chibok girls parents are sorry for voting you as president. We expected you to work harder for Nigeria. We voted for you because you promise to rescue our girls. You said you don’t hav any credible intelligence but the insurgency has helped you by saying that they are open for negotiation. We are asking you to go there and negotiate.
Are you not interested to bring them back? We have intelligence in Nigeria, why don’t you bring back this girls. Are you not a general? We are all Nigerians. As it happened to us, it will happen to the others. If th president is incapable to rescue the girls, he should step down. He cannot say you don’t know where they are.
“I cannot sleep thinking about my two daughters. If they are your daughter’s, won’t you have given orders for them to be rescued? Why won’t you give order? Why can’t you give orders? Is there something behind the whole Chibok girls abduction thing?
“You are not even listening to the parents. The way you entertain us the last time, show you don’t have interest in us. If you can’t work, get down and let somebody take over,” he lamented.
Chibok Girls’ Rescue: We Are Disappointed With The President – Ezekwesili
The co-coverner of the #BringBackOurGirls group, Dr Oby Ezekwesili has expressed disappointment over the President Muhammadu Buhari’s inability to abducted Chibok girls.
Ezekwesili stated that she was even more disappointed that even after seven months of the group engagement with the President, he was still saying that there was no credible intelligence .
The former Minister of Education was speaking during the group’s march to the Villa in continuation of its activities billed to get persuasive action from the Federal Government in the rescue of the abducted girls.
She reinstated that the group will return in their march to the Villa, every 72 working hours until the president have made a decisive decision on the Chibok girls rescue.
“We could be standing for your daughters, Mr President. We are tired of being told that their is no credible intelligence. When Gowon visited, the president said the same thing. Incredible intelligence will not fall from the sky. It doesn’t fall from the sky. The president should make decisions. We can’t take it and go home. Nigerians voted you into solve this problem. Your excuses will not work. We are so disappointed because their is low energy in the issue of our girls. Close ur eyes and imagine that any of them are your grand daughters they would not still be in captivity. When you campaign you said you will bring them back. Do everything possible. Have you done everything possible?” she querried.
The group were barred yet again from entering to the Villa by the police and resorted to stay at the road heading to the Villa to state
