Taraba Women Group Sympathises With Chibok Girls’ Parents

Taraba women under the aegis of Taraba Women For Democracy Network have expressed sympathy for the parents and guardians of over 200 female students of the Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok in Borno state, abducted by members of Boko Haram on April 14, 2014, for the trauma they are still going through.
A statement today quoted the conveners of the group, Asabe Jonathan, Amina Danboyi and Catherine Adi-Adebayo as pledging their prayers and continuous support in this time of needs of the Chibok grils’ parents.
The group apologized on behalf of the minister of women affairs, Hajiya Aisha Alhassan, who they alleged to have embarrassed them when they went to see President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa yesterday.
The group also expressed surprise that President Buhari told the parents that the Chibok girls saga didn’t happen under him but his predecessor and that no one should blame him.
“We were also aghast when the President announced that the girls’ whereabouts are unknown. Because when under the last regime, General Alex Badeh said he knows where the girls are, we were hopeful. Now the hope has been crushed.”
Members of the association stressed that they feel the pains of Chibok parents in full. [myad]
