President-elect Muhammadu Buhari has said that he’s not sure if the abducted Chibok girls can still be rescued.
Buhari however added that his government would do everything possible to bring the girls back home.
The
President-elect made the comment via a statement released on Monday,
April 13, 2015, in commemoration of the one year anniversary of the
girls’ abduction.
“Today we remember the
kidnapping of 276 girls from a school in Chibok one year ago. This crime
has rightly caused outrage both in Nigeria and across the world,” Buhari said.
“We
do not know if the Chibok girls can be rescued. Their whereabouts
remain unknown. As much as I wish to, I cannot promise that we can find
them. But I say to every parent, family member and friend of the
children that my Government will do everything in its power to bring
them home,” he added.
“What I can pledge,
with absolute certainty, is that starting on the first day of my
Administration Boko Haram will know the strength of our collective will
and commitment to rid this nation of terror, and bring back peace and
normalcy to all the affected areas,” Buhari said.
The abducted girls were taken from the Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok, Borno State on April 14, 2014.
