Contrary to counter claims on Friday by #BringBackOurGirls advocate Oby Ezekwesili that President Buhari did not walk out on the parents of the missing Chibok girls, Aisha Yesufu, a leader of the #BringBackOurGirls campaign who was at the said meeting, has re-affirmed earlier reports that Buhari indeed walked out of the meeting without paying any attention to the grieving Chibok parents. In her account of what transpired, she noted that President Buhari was upset and ended up being defensive instead of being in charge. According to her, the President’s reception was so cold that:
“When PMB @NGRPresident had finished he let go of the mike and it dropped with a small bang on the table. He stood up and strode away. PMB @NGRPresident walked out of the Banquet Hall with no glance at parents shell shocked. No empathy. No connection. Just coldness.”
You will recall that Ezekwesili had denied reports that President Buhari walked out on the group after a meeting yesterday, January 14, 2016. She took to her Twitter page to issue a counter claim.
“No. President @MBuhari DID NOT walk out on Parents. The Parents just did not FEEL HIM”, she tweeted.
Whose account do we believe now?
