The Bring Back Our Girls Campaign Group has stated that there was
nothing to celebrate during the Children’s Day considering the fact that
the abducted schoolgirls of Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno
State are yet to be released.
The former minister of education, Dr Oby Ezekwesili-led group stated
this during its usual everyday 3pm village square meeting at the Unity
Fountain Square Abuja. The group added that as long as the abducted
girls were still in the bush and living with terror group, Boko Haram,
celebration of the day would be uncalled for.
The group also commended states who have cancelled the celebration of
the Children’s Day because of the abducted and yet to be released
girls.
The coordinator of the group, Hadiza Bala Usman had also in a press
release called on Nigerians who were concerned about the safety of the
abducted Chibok girls to wear red today in solidarity with the
children.
