President Buhari during a meeting with the former Head of State, General Yakubu
Gowon at the Presidential villa, Abuja on Tuesday, said that in order for the
government to successfully rescue the abducted Chibok girls, they need credible
information on their exact location and the cooperation of the relevant
persons.
General Gown said he talked about various issues with the
country including the governments efforts at fighting corruption in the
country. He said:
“We discussed the general affairs of the country, the
problems of the country, his fight against corruption, and all the efforts that
he is making to deal with it and of course, the impatience of the public to see
results of the fight which have yet to be found, since people have not been
prosecuted yet, that would soon begin.
“These are some of the issues we talked about. One
appreciates his efforts and determination to rid the country of corruption,
which is one of the problems that have held the country down and has created
serious set backs to the country both nationally and internationally and then,
of course, the current situation about the Chibok girls and the efforts the
government is making to rescue them.
He said the government needed to get credible information
about the whereabouts of the girls and also those that would assist the
government achieve that.
“I believe that the government is certainly determined to
ensure that a number of these girls are brought back home safely as soon as
possible. To achieve that, certain credibility must be established of our
sources on information on their location, but as at now, no one knows where
these girls are, and all this information that you have been getting, I don’t
know their sources, but all efforts at engaging the international media and
sources are necessary so that this matter can be resolved once and for all”, he
said.
