All Progressives Congress, APC Presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari yesterday paid a surprise visit to Chibok in Borno State to view for himself the town from which over 200 school girls was abducted last April.
As part of his nationwide campaign, General Buhari hit Borno State yesterday, addressing a mammoth crowd in the state capital Maiduguri. After the event, military commanders who provided security were surprised when the general said he wanted to visit Chibok and refused to provide him security cover until they received clearance from their superiors in Abuja.
Despite their objections, however, General Buhari insisted on visiting Chibok and left for the town despite the refusal of men of the Joint Task Force, JTF to go along with him. Upon arrival, he was moved when he came out and saw the thousands of Civilian JTF members who had volunteered to provide security for him and the Borno State governor Kashim Shettima.
In Chibok, the people and parents of the abducted girls also came out to welcome General Buhari and his entourage and escorted him around the town singing and dancing. After he addressed the people and parents of the girls, a pastor offered prayers for the safe return of the entourage back home and for General Buhari's victory at the polls.
