Buhari orders journalists out of BBOG Meeting by rolchi(op): 2:11pm On Jan 14, 2016
Parents of the abducted Chibok girls and members of the Bringbackourgirls movement on Thursday refused to leave when they were told that President Muhammadu Buhari would not meet with them. The protesters insisted on seeing the president, who had promised, on July 8, to rescue the abducted schoolgirls.

The president, whom Garba Shehu, presidential spokesman, said was at a meeting at the time the protesters arrived at the villa, sent Aisha Alhassan, minister of women affairs, as his representative to them. But Alhassan took shots at the Chibok parents and the BBOG for not giving the government prior notice of their coming.

In response, Oby Ezekwesili, former minister of education and leader of the BBOG, accused the minister of not being fair. “You have been very unfair to us,” she said. “I don’t understand why you can be chiding the parents and the movement. These parents were triggered by the words of the president who promised to rescue their daughters.” BBOG members and parents of the girls waiting for Buhari at the banquet hall of the presidential villa While she was still speaking, Shehu interrupted her to announce that the president would now meet the protesters.

Mohammed Monguno, national security adviser; Mohammed Dan Ali, minister of defence, and Gabriel Olonishakin, chief of defence staff were in the government delegation that received the group.

When the president eventually arrived, he ordered journalists out of the meeting. Shehu, who voiced the order, said the reason was because some “sensitive issues” were to be discussed. A galaxy of journalists who had turned up for the meeting thronged out of the banquet hall, venue of the meeting, in quick steps.

Hehehe. Action movie. The minister of women affairs has children right? Because she ought to be sensitive in situations like this. Good response from Madam Oby.
When these people get to power. They throw away common sense and courtesy.

Really?! And some people still see nothing wrong with it? Our youths have been brainwashed completely.
Chibok girls matter is a very public issue and should be aired.
Where is Channels TV that turned Madam Jonathan's effort to a joke? Hope this one is better, not knowing what transpired at all?

You want the president to meet with them in the presence of journalists? Are you guys for real?

The press would be briefed on the decisions reached after the meeting is concluded. Sensitive security issues cannot be discussed with media cameras everywhere.

Beside, we should give kudos to the president for meeting with the BBOG activists for the second time in his administration. When this same group attempted to meet GEJ, they were tear gassed by AIG Mbu and his men.

People forget so easily. As far as i'm concerned, The end of Buhari's term in 2019 will justify the path he's taking to achieve his goal.

''Shehu, who voiced the order, said the reason was because some “sensitive issues” were to be discussed. A galaxy of journalists who had turned up for the meeting thronged out of the banquet hall, venue of the meeting, in quick steps.''
