According to a statement disclosed during the regular 3pm village square meeting, the group said they want the president to respond to their letter demanding answers to questions raised by the abduction of over 200 Chibok schoolgirls.

The group added that if the president failed to respond to its letter, it would stage a mega protest on Tuesday.

Jibrin Jibom, the head of mobilisation of the group, emphasised the need for the group to prepare a Citizen Chartered of Demand on not only what should be done in rescuing the girls, but how to correct non-performance of the whole system of government.

He advised President Jonathan to stop listening to those around him who do not have the good of the country at heart.

The group concluded by saying there is no sacrifice too small for the girls and would continue to meet every day until the girls are released.
