I Will Rescue Chibok Girls if…… – Buhari

Nigeria’s President-elect, Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari has said he will help rescue Chibok girls if
they are still alive. Buhari who released a
statement today to mark the first year
anniversary of their sudden disappearance, which
will be exactly a year tomorrow, 14th of April,
said Boko Haram will never be tolerated in his
Government.
He also promised that even though
the sect. says western education is evil, he is
ready to send the children in boko haram
affected areas to school especially the young
girls, so that they can have a sense of belonging,
he said. Find his brilliant statement after the cut.
“Today we remember the kidnapping of 276 girls
from a school in Chibok one year ago. This crime
has rightly caused outrage both in Nigeria and
across the world.

“Today is a time to reflect on the pain and
suffering of the victims, their friends and
families. Our thoughts and prayers, and that of
the whole Nigerian Nation, are with you today.
“I want to assure all of them, and particularly the
parents, that when my new Administration takes
office at the end of May, we will do everything
we can to defeat Boko Haram. We will act
differently from the Government we replace: we
hear the anguish of our citizens and intend to
respond accordingly.

“This new approach must also begin with
honesty. We do not know if the Chibok girls can
be rescued. Their whereabouts remain unknown.
As much as I wish to, I cannot promise that we
can find them.

But I say to every parent, family member and
friend of the children that my Government will do
everything in its power to bring them home.
“What I can pledge, with absolute certainty, is
that starting on the first day of my
Administration Boko Haram will know the
strength of our collective will and commitment to
rid this nation of terror, and bring back peace
and normalcy to all the affected areas.

“Boko Haram” means “Western Education is
Sinful”. When they are defeated militarily, as
they will be, we will ensure our citizens in the
affected areas have improved educational
opportunities as a direct counterbalance to Boko
Haram’s twisted ideology. In particular we will
educate ever more young girls ensuring they are
empowered as citizens of Nigeria.

“Let us use this anniversary to remind each other
that the attack on Chibok was an attack on the
dreams and aspirations of our young people.
“We stand united in our pledge to resist terror in
Nigeria– not just through military means but also
through the power of opportunity and the hope
of a better future for all”.
