All Progressive Congress (APC)
chieftain Audu Ogbe has apologized to the leadership
of BringBackOurGirls over his comments which formed the basis of an
attack by the Presidency on the group.
In a letter he personally sent to the group in Abuja, the former
National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) explained, “I
feel obliged to let you know that my statement at our function last week
was not intended to paint your group as an APC sub-group. This is
because, from what we know, less than 2% of the group are our party
members we value highly. The rest of you are not and may not even belong
to any political association whatsoever. This is not to say that you
have no right to be if you choose to.”
Apologizing to the group and the entire leadership, Ogbeh, a former
Minister of Communications, added “If my statement caused you
discomfort, I do apologize, but reiterate that I have nothing but
respect and admiration for you for keeping a six month vigil and telling
the world that the Nigerian conscience is not entirely dead. This world
is watching us and making judgments. I wish you God’s blessings and
protection.”
