Aisha Yesufu, a human rights activist has alleged that the management of Government Girls Secondary School (GGSS) in Chibok, Borno State rejected donations of computers, printers and funds made to the institution by Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate for the Labour Party.<\/span><\/p>\n The GGSS is famously known for the April 2014 abduction of 276 schoolgirls by Boko Haram terrorists. While over 190 girls have escaped or have been released, roughly 82 remain in captivity, marking a decade-long tragedy. The attack also spurred the #BringBackOurGirls campaign, which gained global attention, and was championed by a former minister of education, Obiageli Ezekwesili.<\/span><\/p>\n Yesufu, a strong supporter of Obi, said the school and other government-owned institutions have on various occasions rejected Obi\u2019s gifts or even approved a visitation.<\/span><\/p>\n In a post made on X, Yesufu while giving insights on why the former Anambra State governor visits and makes donations to private institutions said such rejections have become the norm for the Obi team.<\/span><\/p>\n She wrote, \u201cYesterday in Ibadan I had an encounter with someone that made me realise that we have not spoken about the travails we face enough! He was shocked that I was not surprised about how the OAU, Ife event Peter Obi was supposed to attend turned out! <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI told him it is a normal thing we face. I went on to ask him why does he think Peter Obi usually visits private Nursing schools or those run by missionaries? He didn\u2019t know. I told him because the ones run by government would not allow him to visit or the officials take anything from him,\u201d Yesufu said.<\/span><\/p>\n She noted that while most people assume that the African Democratic Congress leader is being biased with his visits and donations to institutions mostly run by missionaries and private entities, Obi primarily visits places where he is welcome.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI told him about Chibok community. <\/span><\/p>\n They reached out to me about the Chibok school from which 276 #ChibokGirls were abducted from in 2014 did not have computers. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAs soon as I told Mr Peter Obi he told me to make arrangement with the school that we will visit Chibok donate computers and printers (which they had not even asked for) and access other needs that they have and take care of them.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cFirst we were denied from going. Then Mr Peter Obi suggested we visit the capital and give them or any neighboring state, that was also turned down. The next was bringing the principal and some teachers with students to Abuja. They were not allowed to come.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAt the end Mr Peter Obi met with some members of the chibok community in Abuja and handed over the computers and printers to them with monetary assistance which he gave,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n In addition, Yesufu said, \u201cMost of the charity is with coconut head! They have been doing everything to truncate it!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Aisha Yesufu, a human rights activist has alleged that the management of Government Girls Secondary School (GGSS) in Chibok, Borno State rejected donations of computers, printers and funds made to the institution by Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate for the Labour Party.
