Members of the Chibok community, on Monday, expressed disappointment with the President Muhammadu Buhari’s-led Federal Government over its handling of the abducted school girls.
He said, “Honestly we don’t”. “Please give us a chance and allow people who are ready to help us”. We regret our votes. It would be surprising if the girls are still in one place.
Speaking further, the community leader said, “We were promised that the President would visit Sambisa, after becoming president”.
The group also advised the president to pursue the lowest risk option available in accessing the risk factors involved in the rescue mission and adopt the best solution to rescue the Chibok girls.
“No more excuses”, they chanted several times.
Subsequently, the group held the day’s sit-out – a daily meeting of activists to remember the abducted girls and pile pressure on government to rescue them – at an intersection leading to the presidency.
Addressing Buhari as “Mai Geskia” ( a Hausa phrase meaning’True One’), Maureen Kabir, a member of the BBOG group said the president was yet to fulfill the saying that “he was a man of integrity and unquestionable character”. Their latest march comes in the wake of the new video released by Boko Haram sect barely a week ago.
The protesters were heading for the Presidential villa to speak with the president as they usually do during their protests.
Some girls wearing headscarves, in the video, were seen behind a Boko Haram militant who demanded the release of fighters in return for freeing the girls.

Mrs. Yakubu noted that the recent video released by the insurgents should provoke the government to rescue the remaining 218 girls.
