The #BringBackOurGirls campaign group has stated that the rescue of the 219 Chibok schoolgirls abducted in their school in Borno statewould be the ultimate evidence of Nigeria’s defeat of Boko Haram sect, currently terrorizing lives of citizens, especially in the Northeast.
In a release signed by leaders of the group, Dr Oby Ezekwesili and Aisha Yesufu, the group hoped that the abducted girls would be rescued, despite the years that have passed.
“It is one key reason that we have not given up our demand for their rescue, convinced that a sustained and results-based operation can quickly yield the long expected result.
“We have also advocated for urgent actions by our government and its local and international partners to address the monumental humanitarian crises in the North East region of Nigeria and begin to restore order and peace in destroyed communities.
“In over two year of our advocacy, we have averred that failure of governance created the conditions for the abduction of our Chibok girls and all other similarly affected citizens in the first place. It is the same failure of governance that has impeded the search and rescue, and resulted in the failure to rescue even one out of the 219 girls after 24 months of their abduction.
“We are however hopeful in the glimmer of light we see through evidence of a better equipped and motivated Nigeria military, which has in the last one year recorded commendable feats in the counter-terrorism war. We applaud the gallant soldiers (along with the police and other security forces including the Civilian JTF) who daily risk their lives for our safety,” the statement said.
It added that even after two years of the abduction of the Chibok school girls, it will not fail to remind the federal government that it is their mandate to rescue the girls, who are citizens of the nation.
“It is for these reasons that our movement will not stop reminding our President and the federal government of their constitutional mandate and his personal pledge to rescue our Chibok girls. For over two years, we have advocated relentlessly and shall continue until our girls are rescued,” he said.
