President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday stormed out of his meeting with parents of the abducted Chibok girls and the Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) movement, according to information by the group, as journalists were barred from the hall, after the arrival of the president.
Earlier, there was drama when the parents and the group were told that the president would not meet with them but they insisted on seeing the president, who had promised, on July 8, to rescue the abducted schoolgirls.
The president had sent Aisha Alhassan (Mama Taraba), minister of women affairs, as his representative but Alhassan lambasted the protesters for not giving the government prior notice of their coming. –V

Mr @MBuhari missed a golden opportunity to connect 'emotionally' with the #ChibokParents.

Zero empathy from the Minister of Women Affairs. Very condescending.
Very incentive.
We have had to respectfully call her to order.
