#BringBackOurGirls Group To Visit, Obasanjo, Soyinka, Christopher Kolade Over Chibok Girls

Here’s a statement from the group;

The BringBackOurGirls Movement, as part of efforts to continue to put the abduction of the 219 chibok girls and other similar abductions in Nigeria on the front burner of National discourse is embarking on an advocacy visit to 3 elder statesmen: H.E. President Olusegun Obasanjo (Former President of Nigeria), Professor Wole Soyinka, and Ambassador Christopher Kolade.


The visits in Abeokuta and Lagos today will seek to call on the  Elder Statesmen to intervene in amplifying the #BringBackOurGirls campaign by reaching out to Government to provide clear information on the status of the rescue operation and for Government to prioritise the rescue of all abducted Nigerians on the top of National Agenda.


A media statement will also be released at the end of the visits.

Police Minister Accuse, Obasanjo, Buhari, Tinubu, Atiku Of Planning Interim Government, Alerts IG

The Police Affairs Minister, Jelili Adesiyan, while speaking during a book launch, “Watch the Watcher” on Monday in Lagos has accused former President Olusegun Obasanjo and the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Muhammadu Buhari, of plotting to install an interim government.

Mr. Adesiyan said Obasanjo had teamed up with Buhari, Bola Tinubu, and Atiku Abubakar to snatch power from the president, but it would backfire.

He said he has also asked the Inspector General of Police, Suleiman Abba as well as the State Security Service, SSS, to arrest anybody who makes inflammatory statements ahead of the forthcoming elections.
