Today
Friday June 12 2015, Nigeria’s president Muhammadu Buhari, his wife, Aisha; and the wife of the Vice President,
Dolapo Osinbajo, met with two women whose daughters are among the over 200
girls kidnapped by Boko Haram in Chibok town last year.
Mrs.
Osinbajo had earlier led the two women to a meeting with Hajia Buhari.
The
President’s wife later led them into another round of meeting with Buhari.
The
Vice President’s wife, with misty eyes, later told State House correspondents
what transpired during the two separate meetings.
According
to Mrs. Osinbajo, “Hajia Aisha Buhari had, for many months, wanted to visit
Chibok. She also wanted to meet with the mothers.
“Today,
we had an opportunity for them to meet face-to-face. We had two of the mothers
who still have their daughters missing after a year.
“Hajia,
being a mother, met with them, held them and they cried, everybody cried. What
only a mother will do is to say ‘wait, I want you to see your father and see
what your father will do.’
“We
were all extremely overwhelmed that at this time when the President is so busy,
he had time to meet with the women from Chibok.
“He
spoke to them in English and Hausa. He explained to them how he keeps telling
everybody to put themselves in their place. She said
