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.”
