Hajia Aisha Buhari had, for many months, wanted to visit Chibok. She also wanted to meet with the mothers,” she said.
“Today, we have had the opportunity for the president and Hajia to show that they are our father and mother.
For that, we are glad. Today, we had an opportunity for them to meet face-to-face. We had two of the mothers who still have their daughters missing after a year.
“Hajia, being a mother, met with them, held them and they cried, everybody cried. What only a mother will do is to say wait, I want you to see your father and see what your father will do.
“We were all extremely overwhelmed that at this time when the president is so busy, he had time to meet with the women from Chibok.
