Wife of the President, Mrs. Aisha Buhari has introduced a local theme tagged: “Leave Our Daughters Alone,” a strong call for the end to frequent abductions of school girls, especially, in the Northeast.
Speaking today, Thursday at an event to mark the 2018 International Women’s Day at the National Center for Women Development, Abuja, Aisha Buhari asked the media to own the campaign and spread message.
She also charged wives of the Governors to propagate the campaign in their various states and that the message must echo through all corners of Nigeria and be on everyone’s lips.
The President’s wife warned perpetrators of abductions and various harmful practices against women and girls to stop the acts forthwith even as she wanted the International Women’s Day to be marked with a difference in view of the sad incidence of the abduction of girls, especially the case of Chibok and Dapchi.
“As a mother, I share the sorrow and agony of the parents at this time, it is my sincere hope that efforts by government will soon lead to their release.”
Speaking earlier, wife of the Vice President, Mrs. Dolapo Osinbajo, said that it is sad that Nigerian women are witnessing the worst of times because of many negative things that are happening. [myad]
