Finally, GEJ met with the parents of the Chibok girls and the
escaped girls in the presidential villa today. I have been reading different
criticisms about his meeting. Some people think it was long overdue. As for me,
I am just thankful that he finally had this meeting and thanks to the 17 year old Malala for
her wisdom. Here is the part I love most about his statement;
“Our commitment is not just to get the girls
out, it is also to rout Boko Haram completely from Nigeria. But we are very,
very mindful of the safety of the girls. We want to return them all alive to
their parents. If they are killed in any rescue effort, then we have achieved
nothing,” President Jonathan said to the parents and community leaders present at the meeting.
Ok sir, we hear and believe you. Please just keep to your promise.
The meeting was also attended by Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno
State, Governor Isa Yuguda of Bauchi State
and the Senate President, Senator David Mark.
