Leah Sharibu’s father has reacted to the donation made by the former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, who gave out part of his severance allowance to the girl’s family.
Mr Saraki had instructed that 20 per cent of what is due to him as severance allowance be given to Leah Sharibu’s parents.
Reacting to this, Mr Sharibu said
“we read it on the internet last night and we were struck with mix feelings.”
“Each time we hear the name of our daughter mentioned in the media, our expectation is to hear the good news of her release. But, yesterday, we heard what the Senate President said should be extended to Leah’s family.
“We thank him, not necessarily because he is giving out money; no. But for the fact that he still has our daughter in mind; and that gives us a lot of hope that Nigeria has not forgotten her.
“Money is good, but what can be compared to having our dear daughter back in our arms? That means a lot to us.”
