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.

How APC lied, dashed the hopes of Nigerians — Ekweremadu

The Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu, has scored the All Progressives Congress (APC)- led administration low on security, economy, job creation, and national unity. This was even as he described the 16 years that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was in power as glorious years for the country, noting that “good men and women who left PDP for the APC are eager to return to join us to build a better Nigeria”. Mr. Ekweremadu spoke on Saturday in Abuja at the national convention to elect new leaders of the PDP.

The story is different today.” The senator also maintained that whereas the PDP years saw to job creation and improvement in agriculture and consequent low food prices, Nigerians have li...
