Senator representing Borno South
Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Ali Ndume, has said that the people
of Borno and Northeast will reward President Muhammadu Buhari with massive
votes come 2019.
This was for the successful
negotiation that led to the release of three UNIMAID lecturers and 10 police
wives abducted last year by Boko Haram at different locations in Borno.
Ndume made this known in a
statement he issued weekend in Abuja.
According to him, the release of
the 13 abductees had rekindled his people’s hope on the rescue of the remaining
Chibok schoolgirls and other persons in Boko Haram captivity.
He said: “It is with great
delight that I receive the gladdening news about the release of the ten
abducted women as well as the three geological scientists from the University
of Maiduguri, who were abducted by Boko Haram in July last year.
“This news has not only gladden
our hearts but has also renewed our hope that other abducted persons, including
the remaining Chibok schoolgirls who are still in captivity would, in due
course, regain their freedom by the grace of God.
“I, on behalf of the good people
of southern Borno senatorial district and indeed the government and people of
Borno state in general, commend all the actors that partook in the latest
negotiated release of our women and lecturers.
“I specifically commend the
leadership of the President Muhammadu Buhari for keeping faith with his promise
of ensuring that all abducted persons, especially the Chibok schoolgirls, will
be released.
“I also thank the ICRC and our
military personnel as well as other security agencies who had contributed in
one way or the other to see that this great feat is achieved.
“We in Borno state have no better
way to express our gratitude to Mr President than to given him our assurances
of support and massive votes come 2019”.
This government is playing politics with peoples' lives
