Former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s Coalition for Nigeria Movement has expressed surprise that the abduction of female students of the Government Science and Technical College, Dapchi, Yobe State could happen when the military was already celebrating the supposed total defeat and extinction of the Boko Haram sect.
The coalition, which strongly condemned the abduction, maintained that the solution to the issues that bedevil the country lied in the entrenchment of good leadership, governance, development and values across all levels of government and we shall not relent until this is achieved.
The coalition described the attack as an affront on the country’s common humanity and the right to a future.
“Our youths are no longer the leaders of tomorrow but the drivers of their future and they deserve the freedom and opportunity to shape their future in an enabling environment
“While we empathise with the parents of our dear daughters and we pray that they are rescued and reunited with their families, we call on the Federal Government of Nigeria to intensify its fight against terrorism and all forms of extremism and criminality. This cannot become a norm.
“We realise that the solution to the issues that bedevil our Nation lie in the entrenchment of good leadership, governance, development and values across all levels of government and we shall not relent until this is achieved,” it added.
