NANS OPEN LETTER TO BORNO STATE GOVERNOR, HIS EXCELLENCY, ALHAJI KASHIM SHETTIMA ON THE NEED TO LEAD THE RESCUE TEAM FOR THE RELEASE OF CHIBOK GIRLS.

Your Excellency, with great respect and loyalty to your office (as the Executive Governor of Borno state which hosts the Sambisa Forest and also, the Chibok village from where over 200 students were kidnapped exactly 1O9 days ago), the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) Zone B hereby calls on you alongside the Vice-President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Alhaji Namadi Sambo and the Northern opinion leaders, Northern Elders Forum (NEF) especially Professor Ango Abdullahi, having noticed with heavy heart the delay in the rescue of our innocent sisters, to lead the rescue team to the Sambisa Forest and secure the release of our fellow students.
Sir, do not feel that our call is an abuse to your personality or your office, it is just a demand that might solve the immediate challenge faced by the nation-at-large in rescuing our fellow students.
Sir, in
order to assure you that the efforts from you and other aforementioned dignitaries is essential, let's ride through the roller-coaster of history which I'm sure would convince you that your effort in leading the rescue team to secure the release of our fellow students is of immediate and paramount importance:
Sir, some few years ago when over 3O Philippines were abducted by the then Niger-Delta Militants, it was recorded that the Executive Governor of Delta State, His Excellency, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan and other opinion leaders in Niger-Delta, including the leader of the South-South people, Pa E.K. Clark were all in the creek for days to secure the release of the abducted foreigners which was successful. Your Excellency Sir, it should also be noted that during the peak of the Niger-Delta Militancy, when the country was crippled economically, it was President Goodluck Jonathan, the then Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria that led the team to Niger-Delta Creek for successful disarment of the Niger-Delta Militants
On this note, the National Association of Nigerian Students call on you sir and other opinion leaders as stated
earlier to lead the rescue team to Sambisa Forest to bring our sisters back home.
Sir, you recently acknowledged unequivocally that you know where these girl are. With this claim and also a knowledge of the terrain and way of life of the people in the terrain, we urge you to take immediate step alongside those recommended for you to rescue the girls and also put an end to the high level of insurgency in the nation-at-large as this would indicate your faithfulness to the lines of the oath of office you took wherein you promised to always serve in the interest of the sovereignty, integrity, well-being and prosperity of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Thank You Sir.

Aluta Continua...!!!
Victoria Ascerta...!!!
