Dr Allen Mannaseh of Kibaki community on Friday said, it is sad that the Federal government have not been able to bring back the Chibok girls abducted by the insurgents in April 2014.
He said, president Jonathan did not say anything about the girls when he visited Maiduguri on Thursday.
According to him, the people of Borno especially the Kibaki community of Chibok are skeptical on whether the government is still committed to its promise to rescue the girls.
Here is what he said "As a director of information of the Chibok community nation wide, I am short of answers when people call to ask me why did the president keep mute about the Chibok girls during the occasion.
"We feel pained always because this is one of the ethnic nationality that mobilised and voted for president Jonathan more than any other in the entire North East. Why are we being shunned always?
"Had president Jonathan not visited Maiduguri Thursday, what will he tell us when he finally visit Borno?
"The Baga issue deserve more than just condemnation. With the kind of attitude towards the people's pains, especially parents of the Chibok girls, how can we who supported, mobilised and voted for him start shouting in the ears of these parents to vote PDP?
"We are saddened as parents of Chibok girls for more than 278 days ago, our daughters have been forcefully taken away from us. To me, I was disappointed by Mr. President during his visit to Maiduguri yesterday (Thursday) . He did not even say a word to the parents of Chibok girls or sympathise with them. It showed that the federal government has forgotten about those girls. Unfortunately, the girls have so far spent 278 days in the enemy’s camp.”
