| Chibok girls |
By Evelyn Okakwu
Following persistent calls by various stake holders to ensure
the return of the Chibok girls and avert feature re-occurrence of a similar trend,
the Director of Media and Publicity of the Peoples Democratic Party
Presidential Campaign Organisation, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode, has called for
judicial proceedings against Governor of Borno State, Kashim Shettima, for
allegedly ignoring security reports and the counsel of the Federal Government
against holding the 2014 May/June West African Examination Council in Chibok.
Fani-Kayode said in a stament issued Monday, that the abducted
Chibok schoolgirls would have been saved the ordeal to which they have been
subjected these past 329 days had the governor taken the advice and acted in
accordance with the security reports that the town was not safe for the
examinations.
He said the governor should be ready for investigation and
prosecution after leaving office if found complicit in the circumstances that
led to the abduction of the girls.
The PDPPCO spokesperson said, “Shettima will not be governor
forever and when he is no longer in office, his role in the Chibok affair would
be investigated and, if found wanting, he would be prosecuted.”
Similar reports say the parents have made their stand known
to the presidency regarding the construction of schools for Chibok Community. They
rejected the offer, saying what they want is their children, not new schools
