After over three months of refusing to visit the parents of the over 250 girls abducted by members of the Boko Haram sect from Chibok in Borno State, the president will on July 22 FINALLY host the girls’ parents.
This was made known by the spokesperson of the Kibaku Chibok Area Development Association, Dauda Iliya, on Wednesday at the Shehu Yar’Adua centre in Abuja. Mr. Iliya said that the association
got a letter of invitation from the presidency on Wednesday morning.
The president’s decision to host the parents is coming only three days after Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani teenage activist, convinced him to see the parents of girls. PremiumTimes reports Mr. Iliya said:
“We just got the letter at around 11 a.m. this morning from the (Presidential) Villa. it came as a unilateral form of communication.”
