It is incredible to note that this newspaper’s 2018 ‘‘Person of the Year,’’ Leah Sharibu aptly described on January 1, 2019 as “A goddess of resistance” is still in captivity. Where is Leah Sharibu? In October 2018, President Muhammadu Buhari consoled Leah’s family and assured her parents that the Federal Government would do its utmost for the safety and security of their daughter. She reportedly arrived in the country before the elections while families and well-wishers marked the 16th birthday of Leah Sharibu, (still held in captivity) with several activities in Abuja, Jos and Lagos. The word of the President on Leah and the remaining Chibok girls should be his bond.
