President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has reassured the world on his determination to
#BringBackOurGirls in a 514 word opinion piece article published in Friday’s
edition of the Washington Post.
The article titled, “Nothing is more important than bringing
home Nigeria’s missing girls” is a must read:
“I have had to remain quiet about the
continuing efforts by Nigeria’s military, police and investigators to find the
girls kidnapped in April from the town of Chibok by the
terrorist group Boko
Haram. I am deeply concerned, however, that my silence as we work to accomplish
the task at hand is being misused by partisan critics to suggest inaction or
even weakness.”
“My silence has been necessary to avoid
compromising the details of our investigation. But let me state this
unequivocally: My government and our security and intelligence services have
spared no resources, have not stopped and will not stop until the girls are
returned home and the thugs who took them are brought to justice.
On my orders, our forces have aggressively
sought these killers in the forests of northern Borno state, where they are
based. They are fully committed to defending the integrity of their country.”
“My heart aches for the missing children and their families. I am a parent
myself, and I know how awfully this must hurt. Nothing is more important to me
than finding and rescuing our girls.”
