“In the wake of the abduction [of more than 200 Nigerian girls], the Jonathan administration maintained a disturbing silence…,” said Bayo Olupohunda. “Here is a government that has consistently … failed to engage with the campaigners of #BringBackOurGirls but laid a red carpet for [a visit from] the 17-year-old [Pakistani education and women rights activist, Malala Yousafzai]…. [W]e should condemn the hypocrisy of our President who had refused to … meet the girls’ parents but has now decided to meet … [them] for [a] public relations stunt in the wake of Malala’s visit…. [Her] voice will continue to expose the failings of this government to the global community as long as the girls are still with Boko Haram.”
