WE REGRET VOTING FOR BUHARI..BRINGBACKOURGIRLS CAMPAIGNERS,AS SECURITY STOPPED PROTEST TO ASO ROCK VILLA



The Chairman, Chibok community in Abuja, Tsambido Abana, said the members of the community worked for Buhari in 2015 and expressed regrets for voting him into power.

He flayed the President for not fulfilling his electoral promise of rescuing the girls, noting that one year after assuming power, Buhari had not rescued the girls and had yet to visit the North-East.

Abana said, “No one has spoken to the family of any of the Chibok girls since the last video was released by the terrorists. We regret our votes. We regret them.

 “We were promised that the President would visit the Sambisa Forest after becoming President; we were also told that within two weeks our girls would be rescued.

“But over one year now, there is no tangible action about our girls. The Presidency stated, instead, that it was confused about the insurgents.”

President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday shunned the #BringBackOurGirls group and the parents of the Chibok schoolgirls who were abducted by the Boko Haram sect 861 days ago.

The BBOG and the some parents of the girls had assembled at the Unity Fountain, Maitama, Abuja, at 10am from where they marched towards the Presidential Villa.

Together with hundreds of sympathisers, who joined them on the way, the protesters had moved towards the President’s office, demanding concrete actions from the Federal Government to save the girls.

But the movement of the protesters was cut short by armed riot policemen who blocked the access road to the seat of power.

The protesters, who arrived at the junction to the Presidential Villa at 11.07am, were prevented from going inside by policemen who told them that they had no clearance to see the President.

The protesters, led by the Co-convener, BBOG, Oby Ezekwesili, later set up a camp on the access road to the President’s office.

In response to Ezekwesiki’s query about the blockade, the officer in charge of the police team, CSP Obasi Chuks, said he could not allow the protesters to proceed to Aso Villa because they did not have an official clearance.

Neither Buhari nor any of his aides came out to address the protesters for more than three hours that they sat on the access road to the villa.
