Senate President, Bukola Saraki has called for concerted efforts to rescue over 200 school girls abducted from Chibok community in Borno by Boko Haram terrorists three years ago.
He said this on the third anniversary of the abduction of the girls.
Saraki said the Senate will continue to advocate for the rescue of the girls.
A statement by the Media Office of Senate President quoted Saraki as saying, “I speak on behalf of all Nigerians who truly care, mothers and fathers especially, who cannot imagine the pain of not knowing whether one’s abducted child is alive or not.
“I know that this government is continuing to explore all options to secure the release of the remaining girls. We will continue to support the administration’s efforts in every way that we can.”
He assured Nigerians and the international community that Nigeria would not stop looking for its missing schoolgirls.
“They are our daughters. We will not stop looking for them. We will not give up the fight until they return back home to us. Until that day, we will all continue to watch and pray for their safe return,” he said.
We knw pple in govt have enormous power and resources to unravel critical issues. But our govt often relaxed when d issue at stake didnot touch their flesh. If Chibok girls are daughters of senators, ministers, governors etc, would we still be looking for them after 3 years?
