Shehu also said that Buhari never promised to rescue the Chibok girls on the second day of his administration.
The presidential aide said:
Shehu said this in an interview with our correspondent in Abuja on Sunday.
“To be fair to President Buhari, did he ever say he will bring back the girls on the second day of his administration? What he has always said is that we don’t even know where the girls are and that we need to go in there and get the intelligence and situation of things and then act.”
“Without meaning to endanger what is left of those girls, you know that the Sambisa Forest is being degraded right now.”

“In the last few days, you even saw the Chief of Army Staff leading the troops and I am aware that in the last few weeks, very interesting pictures have been shown to the President on the basis of which we will say to Nigerians, don’t lose hope on the Chibok girls.”
“I am not saying they have been found or that they have been seen. But it is not yet time for Nigerians to say we have lost them.”
The Chibok girls were abducted on April 14, 2014, and most of them remain in captivity.
