Our prayers have been answered, says Saraki

“The release of the abducted Dapchi schoolgirls is tremendous
news for the country. Our prayers have been answered,” Saraki
declared.

President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, has described the return
of 101 of the 110 abducted Dapchi Schoolgirls as the answered
prayers of millions of Nigerians.

In a statements signed by his special adviser on media and
publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu, Saraki commended President Buhari, the
Nigerian security forces and the government of Yobe State, for the
ongoing effort that led to the release of the girls.

He urged the government to do all within its power to ensure the
return of the remaining Dapchi and Chibok girls.

“The release of the abducted Dapchi schoolgirls is tremendous
news for the country. Our prayers have been answered,” Saraki
declared.

“I commend President Buhari, our security forces and the Yobe
State Government for their effort in bringing back our girls.
However, we cannot stop here. We must not rest until all the Dapchi
girls, and the remaining Chibok girls are back home with their
families.

“I hope that the girls that have been released will soon be
reunited with their families and loved ones. It is also necessary
that we ensure that they receive the necessary care and
rehabilitation that they need to continue to lead normal lives.

“I urge the affected families and the Yobe State Government to
do all within their power to ensure that these girls continue their
education — as this will be the strongest signal to their abductors
that though they may have kidnapped their bodies — they will never
break their spirits and their minds,” the President of the
Senate added.

Meanwhile, reactions have continued to trail the
release of some of the abducted Dapchi schoolgirls.
