The APC, which made this known in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed said “Mr. President, tongues are wagging that you know where the girls are and that you want them to be released only when it will give you the maximum political advantage.

“It is cruel and unconscionable for anyone to use these girls as pawns on a political chess board. They have now been in captivity for over six full months. Please end the agony of the girls’ parents and indeed of all Nigerians,” it said.
The opposition APC said the body language of President Jonathan, since the unfortunate abduction of the girls, points to the fact that he knows more than he is willing to admit on the unfortunate issue, and that he has exhibited an unprecedented nonchalance over the plight of the girls.

PDP Should Release Chibok Girls Now - APC
The leadership of the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) has called on President Goodluck Jonathan to
release the 219 school girls who were abducted in Chibok over six months ago; if truly he is aware of their location instead of seeking to make political gains out of their release.
The APC, which made this known in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed said “Mr. President, tongues are wagging that you know where the girls are and that you want them to be released only when it will give you the maximum political advantage.
