“Her Excellency, Hajia Aisha Muhammadu Buhari, has for very many months
wanted to visit Chibok.
“She also wanted to meet with the mothers. So today we had an opportunity
for them to meet face to face.
“We had two of the mothers who still had their daughters missing after a
year.
“And Hajia being a mother, she met with them, she held them, they cried
everybody cried; and whatever a mother would do is to say wait I want you to
see your father and see what your father will do.
“So we are all extremely overwhelmed that at this time when the President is
so busy doing so much he had time to meet with the women from Chibok.
“He spoke with them in English, spoke to them in Hausa and he explained to
them how he keeps saying to everyone: put yourself in their place.
“So today we have had the opportunity for the President and Hajia to show
that truly they are a father and a mother for the nation. And for that we are
glad.’’
The Chibok girls were abducted from their school in Chibok, Borno, by the
Boko Haram terrorists on April 14, 2014.
The abduction raised both local and international outrage and drew the
attention of the international community to the bitter experiences of victims
of the terrorist organization, Boko Haram.
