Senate
President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki has called for concerted efforts
to bring back the over 200 school girls that were abducted from their
secondary school in Chibok Local Government Area
of Borno State three years ago.
Speaking on the
third year anniversary of the abductionof the girls, Saraki pledged
that the Senate will continue to do everything within its power to
advocate for the return of the remaining Chibok
girls — stating that their safe return will signify the closure of a
dark chapter in Nigeria’s history.
“I
speak on behalf of all Nigerians who truly care, mothers and fathers
especially, who cannot imagine the pain of not knowing whether or not
one's abducted child is alive or
not,” the Senate President said, “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.”
The Senate
President also expressed optimism that one day, all the Chibok Girls
will be returned back to their loved ones, while reassuring Nigerians
and the international community that Nigeria will
not stop looking for its missing school girls.
“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,” he said, “Until that
day, we will all continue to
watch and pray for their safe return.”
