Marking the second anniversary, the group trooped to the Aso Rock , the seat of government, to remind the occupants that the primary responsibility of the government is protection of lives and property.
Before the march, the co-convener of the group Aisha Yesufu, addressed newsmen at the Unity Fountain, Abuja. She said: “It’s unbelievable that two years on, we are still talking about Chibok girls in captivity. We are not talking about Chibok girls’ rehabilitation and how far they have come after their captivity. It’s so sad.

“Today, apart from being a painful day, is a day we renew our hope.
“As far as the girls are in captivity, Nigeria is in captive, ” Yesufu said.
Led by Oby Ezekwesili, former Minister of Education and leader of the BBOG, the group displayed placards and banners which read “Hope endures, “Bring back our girls now and alive. They lamented the nonchalant and ‘I don’t care’ attitude to rescue the abductees and as well, the government’s seeming inability to do anything about it.

Singing the BBOG song, the group chorused, “Solidarity for ever!!! We shall always fight for our girls.
“Bring back our girls back and alive is our demand.
“The truth and nothing but the truth is all we ask.
“We will not stop until our girls are back and alive.

“The fight for Chibok girls is the fight for the soul of Nigeria.
“Our core value is Humanity, Discipline,” the group lamented as it marched on to the Aso Villa.” meanwhile..

Vice-President, Yemi Osinbajo on Wednesday said the current administration cannot ascertain when the abducted Chibok school girls would be rescued.Osinbajo, while speaking at a roundtable meeting in Abuja, called on Nigerians to exercise patience with the Federal Government, stressing that the return of the girls remains a priority, though cannot tell when.”
According to the Vice President, the military has been charged to do everything possible to ensure that the girls are reunited with their families.
He said, “At every security council meeting that I have attended, the president has always been concerned about Chibok girls. He thinks of how this can be done quickly,” he said.
“But it’s a very delicate issue and we cannot say we can deal with it next week. Every rescue attempt must take the safety of the girls into consideration.
“From the security reported we get, we will be able to bring back the girls but we must exercise some caution and patience and not sound as if it can be done but it’s not being done.”
 

Hehehe...According to Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, if the past government had acted immediately the Chibok girls were kidnapped, its most likely they would have returned home by now. Dogara said this in a series of tweets this morning...na wa oooo
