The
Nigeria Labour Congress President, Comrade Ayuba Waba has warned
Nigerians to stop playing politics with the release of Chibok School
girls that were abducted last three years ago. In a statement
he
personally issued and signed, the Labour Leader commends the FG over the
freeing of abducted Chibok Girls and urged the government to ensure the
safe return of the remaining girls that are still in captivity.
Read the full statement below:
We would want to commend the government for securing the release of 82
additional Chibok girls from captivity. The government’s effort
represents commitment to its promise and obedience to public pressure.
We also wish to express our profound happiness and relief as this set of girls re-unite with friends and families.
We
urge the government to sustain the momentum that ensured the latest
release. If popular figures are anything to go by, 163 girls so far have
been secured, leaving 114 in custody.
Government
should leave no stone unturned in order to ensure the remaining 114 are
freed. We are appalled by negative comments from some quarters about
the circumstances surrounding the release of the 82.
We
must not hesitate to caution those who seek to politicise everything in
the land that whatever goes around, comes around, and above all, to
note life is sacrosanct and that nothing supersedes it.
In
furtherance of this, government should maintain its momentum, remain
focused and not allow uncharitable comments derail it from its
trajectory on the Chibok girls.
In
the past three years since the abduction of the Chibok Girls, we have
been in the vanguard of those who canvass for the release of the girls
from custody without harm.
During
the commemoration of May Day barely a week ago, like in the previous
years, we had noted that “the victory over Boko Haram cannot be complete
without the rescue unharmed of the girls”.
