After the parents and schoolmates of the abducted Chibok girls shunned the planned meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan, Yesterday, the President is believed to have re-invited the families of the abducted Chibok girls and the 12 escapees for a meeting , July 22, 2014. Reports have it that a letter to that effect has already been dispatched to the families.
Reports from PointBlackNews suggest that former Education Minister, Mrs. Obi Ezekwesili advised the Chibok families to shun the planned Presidential visit scheduled for yesterday.

According to an insider, the President after consideration had no choice but to cancel the planned visit pending when leaders of Chibok Community are able to fix their differences.
