A former aide to ex-President
Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, on Thursday demanded the release of the
abducted Christian girl, Leah Sharibu.
Leading a protest at Nigeria’s
High Commission in London, Omokri encouraged the Federal Government to
negotiate the release of Sharibu.
Leah was one of the schoolgirls
Boko Haram had few months ago kidnapped in Dapchi, Yobe State.
Following the public outcry that
followed the abduction of the students, Boko Haram had released the girls but
refused to set Sharibu free over her refusal to renounce Christianity.
However, Omokri, while speaking
in London urged President Muhammadu Buhari not to use the kidnap of the
Christian girl to score cheap political points.
Omokri said, “President Muhammadu
Buhari, you should do everything within your power.
“Don’t try to use that to score
political points and then keep her and then maybe release her when it’s time
for the elections. Let her go now.”
Omokri berated Boko Haram for the
continued detention of Leah, adding that the act is, “anti-Islam and
anti-Quran”.
“What you are doing is wrong; it
is anti-Islam, anti-Quran. Release Leah Sharibu,” he said.
