The #BringBackOurGirls campaign group has restated that no amount of syndicated bad media publicity will deter its members from continuing the campaign for the rescue of the remaining 218 Chibok girls abducted by the Boko Haram 171 days ago.
The group, which had been battling alleged consistent and calculated report in some media (not LEADERSHIP) that the group is set to sue the Christian Association of Nigeria and other stakeholders involved in the $9.3 million, however, has reiterated that its members would continue the campaign until the girls are rescued.
BBOG also seized the opportunity to advise its members and well wishers from the media to lend a supporting hand to the call for the rescue of the Chibok girls and resist any urge to be used by any person or group of persons to distract the call for the rescue of the Chibok girls.
The group, in a move to prevent syndicated statements being attributed to it, restated that the names of people designated to speak on its behalf at all times include the co-conveners of #BringBackOurGirls, Abuja Family: Hadiza Bala Usman, Oby Ezekwesili, Maryam Uwais and Saudatu Madhi.
Members of its strategic team, namely, Jibrin Ibrahim, Bukky Shonibare, Florence Uzor, Rotimi Olawale, Aisha Yesufu, Maureen Kabrik, Mariam Ikunaiye, Dauda Iliya and Tunji Olanrewaju could also speak on the group’s behalf.
While speaking on the alleged reappearance of the Boko Haram leader Abubarkar Shekau in a new video, the group said that it was not bothered about the authenticity of the video or not, rather, it was concerned with how safely the Chibok girls can be returned.
The group, however, urged the Nigeria security operatives to work towards gaining back the confidence of Nigerians in their fight against insurgency, as the citizens tend to believe the unofficial stories emanating from the terror-affected areas.
