- The Bring Back Our Girls Advocates have written a letter to
President Muhammadu Buhari
- In the letter, the group alleged that the President is unresponsive
towards the missing Chibok girls' case
The Bring Back our Girls (BBOG) activists led by former Minister of
Solid Minerals Oby Ezekwesili has written an open letter to the
federal government of Nigeria.
In the copy of the letter obtained by CAMPUSNAIJA.info, the group
lamented that the federal government has been unresponsive and
unyielding to the group's effort to discuss the plight of the
remaining 195 Chibok girls still missing.
Read the letter in full:
"Members of the press and the wider public may recall that our
Movement had at the invitation of the Federal Government embarked on a
Guided Tour of Sambisa Forest on 16th and 17th January, 2017. Upon the
safe return of the four members of our movement who toured the forest
and the benefit of knowledge and facts they gathered, we wrote a
letter to the Federal Government.

"In our letter dated January 23, 2017 (now attached to this Press
Statement) we highlighted our key observations from our members' visit
to the war zone. Concluding on the basis of facts and evidence
obtained from the Sambisa Forest tour, we conveyed a more pointed
demand on the Federal Government to negotiate and bring back our
remaining 185 Chibok Girls.
"Curiously and in stark contrast to the exuberant fanfare with which
the Federal Government extended its invitation to our movement for our
letter conveying our message from the visit to the war zone has met
with deafening silence. Since our letter was sent to the Federal
Government over two months ago, our Movement has not received a reply
from the Federal Government.
"We consider it grossly objectionable that the Federal Government
chose to be unresponsive to a letter that was addressed and delivered
to the Minister of Information as well as copied and sent to the Vice
President, the Chief of Staff of the President and the Minister of
Defence.
"It is for that reason that we have decided to adopt an open medium to
communicate the content of that letter to the Federal Government. We
waited long enough in the last two months following our return from
Sambisa Forest. We hereby publish the letter in order to convey a
strong message to the Federal Government that it cannot scuttle public
scrutiny and demand for accountability on the status of the remaining
195 Chibok Girls. Our movement believes in the constitutional duty of
government to be accountable and to provide answers to citizens on
issues that affect them.

"We request the rest of the Nigerian people and others around the
world who have stood in empathy for the cause of our Chibok Girls to
join our movement in prevailing on the Federal Government to act on
our Demand.
"The Federal Government owes the remaining 195 Chibok Girls, the
Justice of immediate rescue. Let that be done before April 14. 2017.
Three years is indefensible time for our young women to be left in
terrorist captivity."
