The #BringBackOurGirls (BBOG) pressure group has announced the receipt of Mr. Audu Ogbe’s letter to it apologising for “the inaccurate statement he made about BBOG.”
The group said a statement attributed to Audu Ogbe that the group was an affiliate of the main opposition party in country, the All Progressives Congress (APC), was unfair.
The group said in the press statement that “party affiliation or the absence of it should never be correlated to the virtue of empathy that brought us out to stand in solidarity with our #ChibokGirls.”
“Yet, it was grossly unfair and improper for a statement which created the impression that BBOG is a subsidiary of the APC was ever made.”
BBOG, however said: “It is honourable for Mr. Ogbe to correct this blatantly wrong impression that has been a source of concern for even the greatest of our BBOG supporters; nothing said or done can ever imperil our movement for it is one founded and grounded on lasting values of our humanity.”
Meanwhile, BBOG at its daily sit out yesterday at the Unity Fountain Park, opposite Millennium Park has expressed hopelessness as the government was yet to rescue the Chibok girls.
It claimed that there was a truce with the dreaded Boko Haram sect which had kidnapped more women just after the announcement of the cease fire between the federal government and Boko Haram.
Speaking on the truce, a man among the members, Mutah Nkeki, from the Chibok community, said: “Government should have been silent about it and allow Boko Haram to announce the truce. You need to see the jubilation that went round in our community that day and yet the girls are not back.”
Another Chibok woman, Comfort Iliya, said the federal government should just rescue the girls “immediately.”
“Enough is enough, just yesterday they went to abduct our women, cease fire no fire or whatever you call it, please the federal government wherever they are they should just bring our girls.”
