Leading voice on the global #Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) campaign, Oby Ezekwesili, took to her twitter handle, on Thursday, to react to the news of the freed 21 Chibok girls by their Boko Haram terrorist abductors.
Writing from California in the United States of America, Ezekwesili expressed gratitude to God and equally thanked both President Muhammadu Buhari and Nigerian soldiers for seeing to the safe release of the girls.

“As WE @BBOG_Nigeria wait for FG and #ChibokParents identification of OUR 21 #ChibokGirls, THANK YOU, LORD. THANK YOU, @MBuhari. Thank you.” “It is 4am in California and I can no longer sleep. Join me in singing the words of Psalm 126… “When the Lord turned again the CAPTIVITY…”
She also said it was a thing of joy that the number of the abducted girls has now reduced from 218 to 197. “On this DAY913 of OUR #ChibokGirls: President @MBuhari What Are We Demanding?
