Acting President Yemi Osinbajo has disclosed the release of
82 Chibok girls did a lot of good to the health of President
Muhammadu Buhari.
He said the Buhari made the comment when he recieved the
girls in the presidential villa, Sunday night.
Osinbajo spoke during the visit by a delegation from Borno,
which came to thank President Buhari for the release of the
Chibok girls from Boko Haram captivity.
Osinbajo, however, stated that the present generation of
leaders must resolve the humanitarian crises in the North
East.
He said that the Federal Government would re-strategise
with all the agencies involved in the rehabilitation of victims
of insurgency in order to address their most urgent
problems.
“Perhaps it might be wise for us to take a look first about
how to save the children and to save peoples’ lives and
then begin to address questions of infrastructure as we go
along.
“But I think it is important that people don’t die while we are
thinking, people don’t die while we are planning to ensure
that we are able to provide for them.
“So what I will suggest is that we take some time out to
look at this, the Borno State government, the Federal
Government, and then of cause the PCNI, PINE and all the
other government initiatives that are working out there.
“And then plan things better, outline what is priority and
then determine what it will cost us and then we can work
from there.
“But I think it is important that we take a second look at
what we have organized so far so that we will be able to do
something more.’’
The Acting President acknowledged that a lot of what
happened in the release of the Chibok girls were largely
because the international community and development
partners believed in the integrity of Buhari.
He said the partners “recognize his genuineness,
forthrightness and felt the need to help”, adding that they
did not have to wonder if there was any other thing else
going on.
“We are thankful for that kind of leadership that has
showed so much integrity”.
