Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs, from Chibok and Gwoza currently residing in Wasa 2, Abuja, have called on President Muhammadu Buhari to help them by totally liberating their communities so they can return home.
The call was made by one of the IDPs, Haruna Wadda when a philanthrophist, Hon. kenneth Ibe Kalu visited them with relief materials.
According to Wadda, there are high hopes among the people in the camp with coming of president Buhari, who believe the security situation in the country will be handled.
Wadda further said the living condition in the camp in Wasa was very discouraging, adding that the best gift Buhari would give them was to liberate their communities so that they can return home and continue rebuilding their lives.
“We left our homes when the Boko Haram sect intensified their attacks and some of our wives, husbands, brothers, sisters and even children were killed while we were running. We practically sleep outside and are prone to all kinds of danger one can imagine.
“We are not here by choice, we are here because this is the only community that allowed us to settle in. It would really be a thing of joy to hear that the new government under president Buhari has successfully tackled the insurgents so that we can return home.”
According to him, all attempts to reach out to the senator from Gwoza, Senator Ali Ndume, the Borno State governor, Kashim Shettima and any other honourable members for assistance have not yielded results, adding that they have all abandoned them to their fate and that is why they only depend on President Buhari for liberation of their communities so that they can return home.
“What we have got from our representatives in the National Assembly and even our governor is total abandonment. No one has said anything or assisted us in any way except for these villagers and Hon Ibe-Kalu, who has been visiting us with his group. This is why we really want Buhari to liberate our villages so that we can stop this begging and start making our own money at our homes,” Wadda pleaded.
