Presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Peter Obi, says the rescue of the Oyo schoolchildren and teachers is worthy of thanksgiving.
Obi said this in a post on his verified X handle on
Saturday.
He said he is greatly relieved and delighted to learn of the
safe rescue of the schoolchildren who were kidnapped.
“This is worthy of thanksgiving. I sincerely thank all those
whose tireless efforts made their freedom possible, especially the security
personnel and everyone who worked behind the scenes.
“While we celebrate this happy outcome, we must remember
that no child should ever have to endure such trauma.
“The recurring incidents of kidnapping, particularly of
schoolchildren, underscore the urgent need to strengthen our security
architecture and make the protection of lives and property the foremost
responsibility of government.
“Our children deserve to learn in an atmosphere of safety,
not fear. We must continue to work towards building a Nigeria where every child
can pursue education without the threat of violence or abduction.
“I rejoice with the children, their families, their schools,
and all Nigerians on this heartening development,” he wrote.
