See What House Of Reps Is Telling Jonathan To Do Before May 29

President Goodluck Jonathan has been asked to do
everything in his power to rescue the over 200 female
students of Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok,
Borno State, who were abducted a year ago by members of
the Boko Haram sect before May 29 hand-over date of the
current administration.

House of Representatives on Tuesday made this call to the
presidency and security operatives saying it was a shame
and embarrassing that the girls were still with their
abductors a year after they were kidnapped.
The abduction of the Chibok girls by Boko Haram
insurgents has led to outrage both within and outside the
country.
Describing their abduction as a national embarrassment,
the House charged the Presidency and security operatives
to ensure that the girls were rescued before the expiration
of the President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration.
According to Sun online, the House’s resolution followed a
motion under matters of national importance, sponsored by
Abike Dabiri-Erewa (Lagos, APC).
The Speaker, Aminu Tambuwal, said: “As a nation, we must
do everything humanly possible to recover these girls.
“We pray that God in his infinite mercy should guide our
security agents on the recovery of the girls.“
He lamented that the claim by security operatives that they
knew the whereabouts of the girls was not correct, saying:
“As a government we should do everything possible to bring
them back.”
President Jonathan has been heavily criticized for his
failure to respond quickly enough to the abduction of the
school girls. The president himself has remained calm and
assured that the military is working hard to rescue the girls
and liberate Nigeria of the Chibok girls.
Col. Sambo Dasuki, the National Security Adviser (NSA)
retired, on Sunday (the anniversary of the kidnaping of the
Chibok girls) assured Nigerians that the federal government
was making every effort to enable that the girls along with
every other Nigerian kidnapped by Boko Haram terrorists
are freed.
The security adviser also stated that the girls will be
rescued before May 29.
