Presidential Adviser on Political Matters, Senator Babafemi Ojudu, has
stated, in clear terms, that the Bring Back Our Girls Group, BBOG, group
would never again be allowed into the presidential villa again to
protest.
The BBOG advocacy, last week, gave President Muhammadu Buhari some tips on how to go about rescuing the captive Chibok Girls abducted since April 14, 2014 by Boko Haram.
Ojudu, yesterday, said the group was making the protest look like President Buhari look like he detained the Chibok girls.
Ojudu stated that: “Since the President came to power, he has met
with them thrice. And it is looking like look, you are making this thing
appear as if I am the one detaining those girls. I am not detaining
them. You are only going to protest to me if I am the one detaining
them.
“If you allow the BBOG to go into the villa everyday to carry out
their campaign, what time would the President have to do his work?
“Will that not be calling for disorder? In UK, anyone who has
something to say goes to Trafalgar Square. The media will meet you
there. They don’t enter into 10, Downing Street.
“So, if the BBOG can restrict its campaign to the Unity Square, no
body will stop them. But to say that everyday you want to go to the
bedroom in the office of the President, that for me is bad,” Ojudu said.
A rights group, SERAP, recently appealed
to the United Nations to stop authorities from harassing the BBOG
campaigners for legitimately demanding for the freedom of the Chibok
Girl from Boko Haram
