Ezekwesili slams Buhari on second anniversary of Leah Sharibu's abduction

Ezekwesili and Buhari Ezekwesili and Buhari

Former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili has called out the Buhari regime over the way they have been handling the case of Leah Sharibu since her abduction by Boko Haram insurgent.

She took to Twitter to air her grievances exactly two years after the abduction took place in Dapchi.

Leah Sharibu was left behind because of her Christian faith while the other girls were released to the Federal Government by the insurgents.

Angry that the Buhari regime has failed to keep contact with Leah's parents, Ezekwesili tweeted: "Today is 2 years since #LeahSharibu was abducted as part of the #DapchiSchoolGirls. You know what’s doubly tragic? The @NGRPresident @MBuhari and his administration @NigeriaGov have not kept any contact with her heartbroken parents since 2018. Such lack of compassion is wicked."

She added: "In a few weeks, it will be 6 years since our #ChibokGirls were abducted. There are 112 still not brought back. Just like #LeahSharibu, their parents are treated with disregard and the @NigeriaGov @NGRPresident @MBuhari give them no updates about their children. No compassion.

"I repeat. @NigeriaGov @NGRPresident @MBuhari : Proverbs 17:5 He who mocks the poor taunts his/her Maker; He who rejoices at calamity will not go unpunished. Give justice to #LeahSharibu & our #112ChibokGirls and bring closure to their tragedies."
