Malala Yousafzai, Pakistani rights activist, who survived
after being shot in the head by the Taliban for campaigning for girls’
education, has pledged yesterday in Abuja to help free the abducted chibok
school girls who were kidnapped about 3months ago.
Speaking at a hotel in Abuja, where 15 of the abducted girls
parents where present and 5 of the escaped chibok girls, Malala said, she feels
their plight and understand how terrifying it could be.
“I can see those girls as my sisters and I’m going to speak
up for them until they are released.”
“I’m going to participate actively in the ‘bring back our
girls’ campaign to make sure that they return safely and they continue their
education.”
“I can feel the circumstances under which you are
suffering.”
“It’s quite difficult
for a parent to know that his daughter is in great danger. My birthday wish
this year is bring back our girls now and alive,” she said as the parents broke
down in tears.
Malala will be meeting with President Jonathan 11am this
morning.
