The parents of the 91 Chibok schoolgirls who remain missing after being abducted in 2014 have reached out to Mrs. Oluremi Tinubu, the wife of the President, seeking her intervention in their ongoing ordeal.
The plea comes nearly a decade after the girls were snatched from their school hostel in Borno State.
In an open letter titled “A Plea for Justice and Remembering the Chibok Girls – A Letter to Her Excellency Mrs Remi Tinubu,” signed by Yana Galang and Mallam Zanna on behalf of the Chibok Parents Association and those whose children are yet to return, the parents expressed their enduring agony.
Part of the letter read: “We have not lost hope, Your Excellency. We have not given up on our daughters, and we will continue to fight for their freedom until they are brought back to us.
“We urge you to use your influence and your platform to ensure that the plight of the Chibok girls is never forgotten, that justice is served, and that those responsible for this heinous act are held accountable.”
The parents also “humbly ask for an opportunity to meet with you, to seek your assistance in advocating for the safe return of our daughters. We ask for your empathy and your understanding as we navigate through this unimaginable pain.
“We ask for your commitment to standing by us and never forgetting the 276 girls who were taken from their school that night.”
