Ahmed Bola Tinubu
National Leader of the All Progressive Congress and former Governor
of Lagos, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has described congratulated President
Muhhamadu Buhari on the release of the 21 Chibok girls saying it is a
great day for the nation.
According to a statement released by his
media office, Tinubu declared that he is sure the President would not
rest until the other girls were released.
“The news of the release
of the 21 Chibok girls came to me as a delightful relief. I
congratulate the families of these young ladies who have endured so much
anxiety and pain on account of this horrendous experience,” the
statement read.
“I am also grateful that these budding young stars
now have the opportunity to again pursue their dreams and aspirations. I
know there is road to recovery and readjustment ahead, but I am
confident that the support of their families, our communities, and the
assistance of our many collaborators at home, and internationally
provide the tools required for this.
“I also congratulate and
thank President Muhammadu Buhari for his steadfastness and dogged effort
in ensuring the release of these girls.
“I salute our gallant men and women in uniform who continue to make
sacrifices on our behalf and have remained focused in the hot pursuit of
the terrorists.
“I commend all Federal Government agencies- the
DSS, the NIA- and indeed our lawmakers and our other partners who
remained dogged and worked assiduously to secure this release.
“It
is a great day for our nation and humanity when as shown there, we
demonstrate that every life is vital and must be fought for, no matter
what it takes. I know that the joy of this outcome will inspire and
encourage the government and all concerned to do everything within human
possibility to secure the release of our other daughters who are still
in captivity.
“This President, I am assured, will not rest on his
oars until all the girls in captivity are freed and returned to their
families.
“Security and ending the the Boko Haram insurgency
remains atop the agenda of the APC-led government and I am happy that
the evidence is there to see that progress is being made on this front.”
