Speaking in Abuja at the 13th edition of the Buhari Administration’s Scorecard Series (2015-2023), Tallen said President Muhammadu Buhari, the military and her ministry had never relented in effort to ensure their freedom.

She said; “If you come to my office, you will see photographs of where I have visited Leah Sharibu’s parents and I’ve reached out to support them. Anything I put forward to Mr President’s desk, concerning them, he approves.

“You can also see in one of the photographs the helicopter and the security personnel Mr President approved for me to go to Chibok and I have gone there three times. Leah Sharibu’s parents are not in Chibok, but the military made arrangements for me to see them at the Airforce Base in Yola due to security concerns.

“I pray that Nigerians will be sincere enough to support our security with the right information for us to get these girls. I’m touched as a mother and I know that this is a season that we should show love at everyone including those in captivity. Our prayers are with them and I know that very soon God will release these children.”
