The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to help ensure the release of Leah Sharibu who has been in Boko Haram captivity since she was kidnapped alongside 110 school girls in Dapchi.
Chairman of the party, Uche Secondus made the appeal while addressing newsmen in Abuja.
He said, “We appeal to President Buhari and his security agencies to please listen to the cry of this little girl.
“Nigerians were moved to tears recently after listening to her plea via a voice message she sent from the den of her abductors.
“It was a cry of innocence. This is somebody whose offence was just that she went to school.
“She didn’t want to die as an illiterate. Must we allow her to be punished for this? My answer is no.
“The primary duty of any government is to provide security for the citizens. That is the little we expect from this government.
“The President ought to be a father to all the citizens, including Leah. Let him act so by negotiating and freeing this our daughter.”
