Vice President’s wife, Dolapo
Osinbajo and Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State have called on Nigerians to
pray for the safe return of the 110 girls abducted by Boko Haram insurgents
from Government Girls Science and Technical College, Dapchi, Yobe State, last
Monday.
They made the call while speaking
at the opening ceremony of a two-day conference of Osun Officials’ Wives
Association (OSUNWA) tagged: “Virtuous Woman: Pushing for greater development.”
Osinbajo said Nigerians should
realise the need to be their brother’s keepers, especially by praying for the
safe return of the missing girls.
The VP’s wife pointed out that
kidnappers, too, have mothers, sisters and possibly daughters, and should not
put fellow mothers, sisters and daughters of other people in undue panic and
sorrows by kidnapping innocent girls.
On his part, Aregbesola called on
the participants to observe a one-minute prayer for the prompt safe release of
the abducted girls.
He said, “We need to ask God to
touch the hearts of the insurgents to hasten the release of the girls and other
victims that have been in their captivity.
“Women are central to life, they
are guarantors and caretakers of the human race.”
