VP Says Only 1 Chibok Girl is a BabyMama as Names are Officially Released!!!



Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo has said that only one of the 21 released Chibok girls has a baby.
On Thursday evening, Osinbajo led some top government officials to visit the girls at the DSS Medical Centre, Airport Road, Abuja, where they are currently receiving medical attention.
Osinbajo, who was accompanied by the Director-General of the DSS, Mr. Lawal Daura; Minister of Information and Culture, Mr. Lai Mohammed; Minister of Women Affairs, Senator Aisha Alhassan; Minister of State, Budget and National Planning, Zaynab Ahmed; and the Special Adviser to the President on Social Protection Plan, Mrs. Maryam Uwais, later briefed State House correspondents at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The Vice-President disclosed to journalists that the Federal Government did not swap any Boko Haram detainee for the release of the girls.
“There was no exchange of any kind. There was no swap of any kind. Even when we started negotiations, we said we would consider all options available to us. Absolutely, there was no exchange of any kind,” he said.
When asked if the government would consider a swap for the release of the remaining girls still in captivity, Osinbajo said the government would look at all options and weigh them carefully.
“In doing so, however, the security and safety of the country would be considered,” he said.
He said the government would rather use the same template that was used for the release of the 21 girls to secure the release of the remaining ones.
Osinbajo said, “We must be sensitive to the fact that the government wants these girls back and alive. Again, we must balance this against the security and safety of the country.
“In the process of negotiation, we will look at all options and we will weigh the options carefully and decide what to do.
