The former Chairman, Nigeria Bar Association, Minna chapter, Mr
Taidi Jonathan, on Monday said the release of the 82 Chibok school girls
demonstrated the commitment of President Muhammadu Buhari to the
welfare of all Nigerians.
Taidi said in Minna that the gesture was also a clear demonstration
of the Buhari administration to secure the release of all those in
captivity.
He said, “It shows that the Federal Government and its partners have the capacity to release the remaining girls.
“The release would help to check the emotional trauma the parents of the girls might be facing in the last three years.”
Jonathan, therefore, called on Nigerians irrespective of religious
and political differences to support the government in its efforts to
provide security and set the nation on the path to prosperity.
The former NBA chairman urged Nigerians to seek God’s intervention
on the challenges facing the nation, stressing that with fervent
prayers, all the challenges facing the country would be holistically
tackled.
Jonathan said Nigerians should imbibe the culture of offering
intelligence information to security agencies to help in tackling
criminality in the society.
Boko Haram in 2014 abducted more than 200 secondary school girls of Government Girls’ Secondary School, Chibok, Borno.
Twenty-one of the girls were released in October 2016, while Buhari
directed security agencies to ensure all the affected girls were
released and reunited with their families.
