Wife of the President, Mrs. Aisha Buhari says she shares in the agony and sorrow of the parents and families of all the abducted girls in the country.

She stated this is Abuja on Thursday while delivering a speech she titled: “Leave Our Daughters Alone” to mark the 2018 International Women’s Day.

She said she was particularly concerned about the parents and relatives of the abducted Chibok and Dapchi school girls and expressed hope that the efforts towards finding and rescuing them would be fruitful.

“As a mother, I share in the sorrow and agony which the parents are going through up to this moment. I am aware of the efforts being made for the release of the remaining Chibok girls as well as the recently abducted Dapchi girls,” she said.

She added that the recent incidences of abduction of school girls across the country especially in the northeast had further exposed the long-standing evil perpetrated against women and the girl child in the society.

She congratulated Nigerian women for successfully marking the day amidst pains and agony and solicited for greater opportunities for women in Nigeria.

She called on relevant stakeholders, especially the media to join in the campaign against all forms of abduction and maltreatment of the Nigerian woman.
