Ezekwesili
Presidential
candidate of the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN), Obiageli
‘Oby’ Ezekwesili has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to
effect the release of kidnap victim, Leah Sharibu and others in Boko
Haram captivity.
Sharibu
is a female student of the Government Girls’ Science and Technical
College, Dapchi, Yobe State, who has been held in captivity since
February 19, 2018, by the Islamic terrorist group on account of her
Christian faith.
“Dear
President @MBuhari, it is with a very burdened heart, that I beg of
you this day, to please do everything possible to get #LeahSharibu
#Hauwa and #Alice (the #TwoRann humanitarian aid workers) out of the
den of their captors today. Give them the justice of rescue. Please,”
Ezekwesili posted on Twitter.
Ezekwesili’s
call is ever so urgent as this week marks the expiration of the
deadline given by the insurgents to execute kidnap victims in their
custody.
Oby
who is a former Vice President of the World Bank for Africa is more
recently known for her globally recognized #BringBackOurGirls
advocacy for the return of over 200 Chibok schoolgirls abducted in
2014.
