APC Govs Pledge To Work With FG To Rescue Chibok Girls

Worried by the growing insecurity in the nation, governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have said they are committed to working with the federal government to ensure that all the schoolgirls abducted from the Government Girls’ Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, are returned to their families unharmed. The governors, under the aegis of the Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF), made this known in a statement issued by the chairman of the forum, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, and signed by his media assistant, Esohe Eboigbe, in Abuja yesterday. “The abduction of these innocent schoolgirls is an assault on our nation, an attack on civility and constitutionalism and a colossal descent to barbarism, which is unacceptable and should be combated by all patriots. “Once rescued, we will support the parents and government of Borno State to ensure that our girls all receive treatment for the physical and psychological
trauma they might have suffered in captivity. We shall also undertake the rebuilding of the Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, to ensure that the students are able to resume normal life”, the APC governors stated. According to the forum, terrorism must be terminated before the country can experience stability and development, hence the more reason why they are ready to work with the federal government to ensure this is done. “More than ever before, we are resolute in our determination to move our dear nation forward. The successful fight against terrorism is a critical precondition for stability and constitutional governance. Together with all progressives and patriots, we will join hands to restore peace all over Nigeria,” the forum said. The forum also pledged to support all the victims of Nyanya bomb blast with N100 million.
