In its continuous push for the release of abducted Chibok school girls in Borno State, northeast, Nigeria, the pressure group ‘BBOG’ on Monday, faulted the Buhari’s administration over its silence on the remaining girls in captivity.
In a statement made available on Monday, the group said, “Today marks 1,336 days too long since the tragic abduction of our # ChibokGirls from Government Secondary School, Chibok, on the 14th of April, 2014.
“While we appreciate the return of 106 of our #ChibokGirls, we accept no justification for the continued captivity of the 113 #ChibokGirls that are yet to return for 906 days under the watch of President Muhammadu Buhari.
“It has been far too long without any further progress or tangible evidence that sustained and results-focused effort is being made to rescue them.
“It does sadly appear as though the Presidency considers the return of the last batch of 82 #ChibokGirls as the conclusion of the #ChibokGirls tragedy.
“We vehemently oppose any such stance and impression the public is reading from the absolute detachment of the President and the Federal Government to the pain of the families of the remaining#ChibokGirls.
“All our missing 113 Girls and all other known victims of terrorists abduction must be rescued immediately by the Federal Government.
“As a movement, we have continued to keep our promise and commitment to advocating for our #ChibokGirls.
“We continue to sit daily at the Unity Fountain and in Lagos for all of 1,321 days as at today.
“The Government cannot rest from its own pledge to rescue our #ChibokGirls with even greater urgency and results.

Amaechi made the disclosure at the Future Awards Africa held at the Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos last Saturday. He said that he would have done otherwise by staying in PDP and fight for the change, instead, there was a need to cross over to APC because of his belief in President Muhammadu Buhari. “I moved from PDP to APC because I am tired of what is happening in the party, I have the option to stay because of my position as the Chairman of the Governors then. “I can use my position to fight them (PDP) and get what I want because I believe Nigeria was not going in the right direction by then. “My attention and belief shifted to Buhari which was the viable alternative, I believe in the change mantra because it is the only way to improve on what is on ground. “He has not...
