President-elect, Gen Muhammadu Buhari says his incoming government cannot promise the return of missing Chibok girls but that they would do everything within their power to secure their return. He said this in a statement he released today April 13th to commemorate one year of the girls' abduction. The statement below...
Today is a time to reflect on the pain and suffering of the victims, their friends and families. Our thoughts and prayers, and that of the whole Nigerian Nation, are with you today. I want to assure all of them, and particularly the parents, that when my new Administration takes office at the end of May, we will do everything we can to defeat Boko Haram. We will act differently from the Government we replace: we hear the anguish of our citizens and intend to respond accordingly.
This new approach must also begin with honesty. We do not know if the Chibok girls can be rescued. Their whereabouts remain unknown. As much as I wish to, I cannot promise that we can find them. But I say to every parent, family member and friend of the children that my Government will do everything in its power to bring them home. What I can pledge, with absolute certainty, is that starting on the first day of my Administration Boko Haram will know the strength of our collective will and commitment to rid this nation of terror, and bring back peace and normalcy to all the affected areas. Boko Haram” means “Western Education is Sinful”. When they are defeated militarily, as they will be, we will ensure our citizens in the affected areas have improved educational opportunities as a direct counterbalance to Boko Haram’s twisted ideology.
In particular we will educate ever more young girls ensuring they are empowered as citizens of Nigeria. Let us use this anniversary to remind each other that the attack on Chibok was an attack on the dreams and aspirations of our young people. We stand united in our pledge to resist terror in Nigeria– not just through military means but also through the power of opportunity and the hope of a better future for all”.

Didn't he make those promises during his campaign

hmm fingers cross

nope,he didn't.

Too many excuses of late and it is not good for his reputation. He need not provide an answer to every question he is asked or has he forgotten there is great power in silence.

I couldn't agree with you more

Mods please this deserves fp

I believe you Sir.......less talk, less promises, more action! At least you're not like those that promised to build 4 refineries and we saw nothing, promised to end insurgency in 6 months but failed, claimed to know the whereabout of the Chibok girls yet cant rescue them, and even promised to complete the second Niger bridge before 2015.

Your performance will speak for you dear General.

Some peeps are not happy .They prefer GEJ's style of Sugar Coting his words.

Pa Buhari please tell us a story.

For me, I'm not interested in Buhari for now, until after May 29. My guys in the media are taking positions. We shall get the right formation for the team and our president will have to be really above board. Any attempt for Osinbajo to act as a de facto president will result in a well published negative feedback.

Buhari will be the face of government and he has to be really forthcoming. We shall help his government to deliver or die.
