Tears As Buhari, Wife Meet Chibok Girls’ Mothers by handie(m): 8:18pm On Jun 12, 2015
Tears flowed freely on Friday as President
Muhammadu Buhari; his wife, Aisha; and the
wife of the Vice President, Dolapo Osinbajo,
met with two women whose daughters are
among the over 200 missing Chibok girls.
The emotional-laden encounter took place
inside the Defence House, Abuja, where Buhari
currently operates from.
Mrs. Osinbajo had earlier led the two women
to a meeting with Hajia Buhari.
The President’s wife later led them into
another round of meeting with Buhari.
By the time they emerged from the meeting
and posed for photographs, the two women
again broke down in tears while Mrs. Buhari
held them tightly.
Mrs. Osinbajo also joined in the weeping.
The Vice President’s wife, with misty eyes, later
told State House correspondents what
transpired during the two separate meetings.
She said, “Hajia Aisha Buhari had, for many
months, wanted to visit Chibok. She also
wanted to meet with the mothers.
“Today, we had an opportunity for them to
meet face-to-face. We had two of the mothers
who still have their daughters missing after a
year.
“Hajia, being a mother, met with them, held
them and they cried, everybody cried. What
only a mother will do is to say ‘wait, I want you
to see your father and see what your father will
do.’
“We were all extremely overwhelmed that at
this time when the President is so busy, he had
time to meet with the women from Chibok.
“He spoke to them in English and Hausa. He
explained to them how he keeps telling
everybody to put themselves in their place.
“So, today, we have had the opportunity for the
President and Hajia to show that they are our
father and mother, for that we are glad.”
Shortly after the photo session, security men
quickly whisked the weeping mothers away.
Over 200 schoolgirls were abducted in Chibok
last year.
All efforts to rescue them have yet to yield any
positive result.
