All
Progressives Congress (APC) stalwart Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu,
yesterday hailed President Muhammadu Buhari over the release of 21 of
the Chibok schoolgirls.
In a statement by his Media Office,
Tinubu said: “The news of the release of the 21 Chibok girls came to me
as a delightful relief. I congratulate the families of these young
ladies who have endured so much anxiety and pain on account of this
horrendous experience. I am also grateful that these budding young stars
now have the opportunity to again pursue their dreams and aspirations. I
know there is road to recovery and readjustment ahead, but I am
confident that the support of their families, our communities,and the
assistance of our many collaborators at home, and internationally
provide the tools required for this.
“I also congratulate and thank President
Muhammadu Buhari for his steadfastness and dogged effort in ensuring
the release of these girls. I salute our gallant men and women in
uniform who continue to make sacrifices on our behalf and have remained
focused in the hot pursuit of the terrorists.
“I commend all Federal Government
agencies- the DSS, the NIA- and indeed our lawmakers and our other
partners who remained dogged and worked assiduously to secure this
release.
“It is a great day for our nation and
humanity when as shown there, we demonstrate that every life is vital
and must be fought for, no matter what it takes. I know that the joy of
this outcome will inspire and encourage the government and all concerned
to do everything within human possibility to secure the release of our
other daughters who are still in captivity.
“This President, I am assured, will not
rest on his oars until all the girls in captivity are freed and returned
to their families. Security and ending the Boko Haram insurgency
remains atop the agenda of the APC-led government and I am happy that
the evidence is there to see that progress is being made on this front.”
