All Progressive Congress (APC) chieftain Audu Ogbe has
apologized to the leadership of BringBackOurGirls (BBOG) campaign over
his comments which formed the basis of an attack by the Presidency on
the group.
According to SaharaReporters, 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.”

Speaking on the matter, a former Minister of Communications, Audu Ogbe, 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.”
