National Leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) Bola Tinubu, has said that the release of the 344 schoolboys abducted from Government Science Secondary School, Kankara, Katsina State, vindicated the President Muhammadu Buhari.
Tinubu stated this in a statement on Saturday titled, ‘Lauding Pres. Buhari, Gov. Masari over Rescue of Kankara Schoolboys.’
The statement read in part: “The initial abduction of the over 300 Kankara schoolboys from their dormitory in broad daylight was unsettling and raises serious concern. However, their prompt rescue from their abductors is heart-warming.

“It vindicates President Buhari in his untiring commitment and determination to rid the country of insecurity and confront Boko Haram insurgents and bandits operating in some parts of the country.”
Tinubu hailed the Katsina State Governor, Aminu Masari, and men of Armed Forces for bringing the boys back home.
While urging governmnet to sustain the laudable effort, he said “We must all do more to tackle the evil-doers and see the back of the Boko insurgents and bandits.
“We need to upgrade our security infrastructure and re-strategise. The armed forces themselves must renew their efforts to make not only our schools safe for students but also our cities and villages.
“No development can occur in a climate of fear, uncertainty, and insecurity of lives and property.
”I empathise with the agonised parents and relations of the abducted schoolboys and rejoice with them over the release of their children from the jaws of the abductors”.
