“Mr. Speaker, 73 days ago, 200 Nigerian girls were kidnapped by the Nigerian terrorist group Boko Haram. This story tugged at hearts around the world and led to an international outcry for these girls’ rescue, but 73 days later, we cannot allow this story to fade from the headlines. The violence of Boko Haram increases by the day”, said Wilson.
On June 26, 2014 Rep. Frederica Wilson of Florida asked for and was granted permission to address the United States House of Representatives for one minute regarding the kidnapping of 200 little girls in Nigeria. Note: That number is actually anywhere from 240- 300 plus girls according to reports* The congresswoman’s intelligence is incorrect in this regard:
“Mr. Speaker, 73 days ago, 200 Nigerian girls were kidnapped by the Nigerian terrorist group Boko Haram. This story tugged at hearts around the world and led to an international outcry for these girls’ rescue, but 73 days later, we cannot allow this story to fade from the headlines. The violence of Boko Haram increases by the day.
Mr. Speaker, instead of focusing on rescuing these girls, Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan’s attention is on his next election. He spent $1.2 million to improve his image by hiring a Washington PR firm.
President Jonathan needs to rearrange his priorities. I can think of quite a few things he can do with the $1.2 million. The first thing he should do is find those girls.
Mr. Speaker, this is why we cannot let up the pressure. I urge you to join our Twitter war to keep the world’s attention on the kidnapping of these children. Tweet #bringbackourgirls and #joinrepwilson every day, 9 a.m. to noon.
We will not be silenced. We will not be stopped. We will get our girls back. Tweet, tweet, tweet”, said Wilson.
