As part of the Global Week of Action by the #BringBackOurGirls group, the members are set to march to the Presidential Villa in Aso Rock to meet with President Goodluck Jonathan.
The group has said that it has sought audience with the president after requesting an appointment with him.
A statement signed the group’s Media Coordinator, Mr. Rotimi Olawale reads:
“#BringBackOurGirls
Abuja family wishes to notify members of the public that we have
requested for an appointment, and will be marching to meet with our
President on Tuesday (today) October 14.
“The
objective of our march to the Villa is to convey the urgency for the
immediate rescue of our girls and to hear directly from our President
and the Commander in Chief of our Armed Forces the accurate status of
the rescue effort for our Chibok Girls, whose six months in captivity
remains a source of deep anguish to their parents, Nigerians and people
all over the world, who believe in our shared humanity.
“The
last 180 days have been one of dashed hopes, intense pain, and
confusion for the families due to the lack of accurate information from
government on the current status of rescue operation.
“The
march will be joined by some of the parents of the abducted girls, as
we continue to stand in solidarity with the abducted 219 girls and their
families.”
The over 200 girls were kidnapped from their school in Chibok, Borno on April 14.
