It's been over six months since the kidnap of the 218 Chibok girls, it's been a tiredless wait for the govt to produce concrete results .
  The co-Convener, Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) group and former Minister of Education, Mrs. Oby Ezekwesili, on Tuesday called out the Federal Government.
In continuation of the daily tweets she reels out on twitter through her handle @obyezeks, she said the federal government should not allow another 24 hours to pass without tangible results in terms of rescuing the girls.
Pouring out her frustrations that despite the purported ceasefire between the Boko Haram sect and the government in which part of the deal was the release of the girls, she called on the government to live up to its promise.
Her tweet reads, "Our ears are all out today for the good news promised. Another 24 hours should not pass without "Tangibility" to FG rescue of our Girls."
