Shehu Sani, senator representing
Kaduna central, says it is wrong to claim that Boko Haram insurgents have been
defeated.
Sani said this while reacting to
the abduction of 110 students of Government Girls’ Technical College, Dapchi,
Yobe state.
The senator said the abduction
proved that the country had not learnt its lesson from the Chibok episode.
He said the kidnap of the Dapchi
school girls represented a “failure of the system” and a “serious” set back in
the fight against the insurgents.
“It’s wrong to continue to claim
and proclaim the defeat of the insurgents; and claim and proclaim the capture
or recapture of their leaders and provoke resurgent actions,” he said in a
statement.
“The release of the Chibok girls
raised the nation to Gold and now Dapchi degraded us to bronze. Chibok
represented the failure of the state, Dapchi represented the failure of the
system. Dapchi means lessons not learnt in Chibok.
“Until the girls are found, the
spirit of the Girls will continue to hunt our souls. I call on the government
to give more priority to its responsibilities and duties than its image.
“My heart goes to the abducted
girls and their families. And I call on all security agencies to work in
synergy with each other in other to secure their freedom.”
