Leah Sharibu: Nigeria’s image at stake – Plateau speaker
The speaker of the Plateau State House of Assembly, Joshua Madaki, yesterday said that the continued captivity of Leah Sharibu and the others abducted by Boko Haram had put Nigeria’s image at stake internationally.
Madaki spoke during the special prayer for Leah and others in captivity, the celebration of Leah’s 16th birthday and the protest by the organizers of the programme to the assembly complex to submit an appeal letter for Leah’s releases, which was addressed to Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau State through the speaker.
The speaker said: “As an assembly our heart goes to our daughter, Leah Sharibu, who has been in captivity. It all started with counting days, it then went to months and today we are counting years. Her case is not beyond God, and we should not relent in praying and fasting for her release. I don’t know how God will do it, but I have the conviction that this year 2019 we shall give testimony. Our daughter will be released and she will testify. All others who are in captivity will be released also, that is my belief.”
