At the world press conference to mark the end of the
World Economic
Forum on Africa (WEF) hosted in Abuja today,President Jonathan said he
won't sleep until the girls are found..This is probably his most candid
speech on the abduction.
“We plead with the parents, as a father, and the President of this
country, I feel pained and I don’t sleep with my two eyes closed.And, I
will not sleep with my two eyes closed until these girls are brought
safely back to their parents.The attackers are in a part of Borno State
described as Sambisa forest. It is a forest area and we are working with
the experts that will used remote sensor to see that wherever they are
we will seen.So, the best we can say is that they are within the Sambisa
forest area.Of course, I agree that there are stories that they have
moved outside the country but if they move
that number of girls to Cameroon, people will see.So, I believe that
they are still within Nigeria.A number of the countries already their
personnel have arrived Nigeria to assist us to find the girls;
collectively we must find these girls.
Is a misconception, the response is not slow. I have explained this
that Borno State can be described as the headquarters of the terrorists,
Boko Haram; they are more in Borno State, then followed by Yobe and
then Adamawa.These are the three states we have declared state of
emergency already.So, they have military personnel in that
state.Immediately this incident happened, they have been following it
both the Army and the Air Force, they have been combing the area.”
