Dapchi girls: This is how govt should respond, APC hails Buhari

The All Progressives Congress (APC) says the return of
Dapchi schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram is a demonstration of the
will of the Muhammadu Buhari administration to save
lives.

On Wednesday, 101 girls out of 110 were released. Five are said
to be dead and one is still missing.

In a statement, Bolaji Abdullahi, spokesman of APC, said the
return of the schoolgirls shows how a government should react to
such situations.

“The prompt release of the Dapchi schoolgirls is another solid
demonstration of the political will of the President Muhammadu
Buhari-led APC administration to secure the lives of all
Nigerians,” the statement read.

“With this prompt release of the Dapchi girls, the APC
government has demonstrated how government should respond to such
situations.

“If the immediate-past Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
administration had responded with the similar alacrity, the
Chibok schoolgirls would have been released or rescued. Instead,
the PDP wasted several weeks wallowing in denial and conspiracy
theories such that it was now left for the APC government to rescue
many of the girls and rehabilitate them.

“We assure Nigerians that the current administration remains
committed to securing the release of the remaining Chibok
schoolgirl still held in captivity by Boko Haram and
ultimately rehabilitate and reunite them with their families and
loved ones.

“The party is confident that reforms that the government has
embarked on would improve the capacity and efficiency of our
security agencies to prevent the kidnap of children by terrorists
and diminish their ability to carry out attacks on soft
targets.”
