Few days ago, President Buhari met the families of over 200 young secondary girls kidnapped by Boko Haram in Chibok, Borno and the #BringBackOurGilrs activists in Abuja.
Though the meeting the not went well as Nigerians believes it should be and while other as been accusing the families of “overreacting”, “being dramatic” and telling them to “calm down”.
The co-founder Red Media and The Future Project Adebola Williams, has slammed those critics with powerful, moving statement and also passionately responded to these comments.
The Red Media, under their imprint company State Craft handle the media campaign of President Buhari in last general election and also he volunteer himself for free to be part of media team for this present administration, but he disagree with the saying that they should shut up their mouth ” How Dare You Tell Me How to Grieve? ”.
1) I see people asking the #Chibok parents to calm down. Accusing them of melodrama. Have you ever lost a child to kidnappers? #BBOG
