At last the women wing of
All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State has joined other women across the country to demand that  the federal government expedite action in effecting the release of the over 200 secodary school girls from Chibok, Borno State, abducted since April 14, 2014, by the Boko Haram sect.
A recent release from vanguardngr.com indicates that it decried the “slow and lethargic response of the Jonathan –led government and security apparatus in handling  the abduction of the girls as well as the entire security issues in the north-east.
The group threatened  not to stop at just street protest in their  demand for action. “We as  women and mothers will not  stop at just street  protest to demand for action,  we will mobilize,  organise  and fight for the protection of the  right of the girl-child in Nigeria, we will in this  instance, not relent  until  government does what is expected of it, to apprehend the perpetrators and bring back our girls”  the group said.
Meanwhile, the  nobel prize wining education campaigner, Afghanistani Malala Yousafzai, has also called on world leaders to do more to free the abducted Chibok School girls, who have  been in captivity for over 300 days.
Malala, who wrote on her website, said “if these girls were the children of politically or financially powerful parents, much more  would be done to free them”.
She called on Nigerian leaders and the international community to go an extra mile in resolving this crisis  and change their weak response to date.
“These young  women risked everything to  get an education that most of us  take for granted, I will not forget my sisters” Malala said.
I t will be recalled that on April 14, 2014, over 200 school girls were abducted by the Boko Haram sect in Chibok , Borno State. 300 days after this ugly incidence, parents of these children still await their return.
