President Muhammadu Buhari who was obviously angry after meeting with parents of the abducted Chibok girls stormed out of the venue.
The Bring Back Our Girls Campaigners after several hours marching and protesting in Abuja insisted on meeting with the President.
Minister for Women Affairs, Aisha Alhassan was reportedly rude to the parents of the girls who were abducted exactly 600 days ago.
Leader of the rights group, Oby Ezekwesili while speaking on Al-hassan’s actions said, “You have been very unfair to us. I don’t understand why you can be chiding the parents and the movement. These parents were triggered by the words of the president who promised to rescue their daughters.”
EIENigeria in a series of tweets described the President’s mood during and after the meeting.

#BBOGReengagesPMB: The mood & tone of the July 8th meeting was much warmer than today's meeting. @MBuhari was cold. #BringBackOurGirls
