His Excellency, Comrade Dr Nasir Idris, Kauran Gwandu, has hailed President Bola Tinubu for putting machinery in place that led to the rescue of all the 24 schoolgirls abducted from Government Girls’ Comprehensive Secondary School, Maga, in Danko-Wasagu Local Government Area of Kebbi State.
Gov. Idris stated this on Tuesday night during a special press conference in Birnin Kebbi.
The governor said the freed girls had been rescued unharmed, assuring that they were all in good health and were on their way to the state capital.
“Let me seize this opportunity on behalf of the good people of Kebbi State to commend President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his concern for Kebbi State.
“Because, since the abduction, Mr President has been up and doing to ensure that these girls are rescued unharmed.
“Similarly, I want to thank the security agencies, comprising the military, the police, DSS, civil defence, and all other security agencies, for being alive to their responsibilities,” he said.
The governor noted with joy that the security agencies didn’t take Mr President’s order lightly since the abduction of the girls, adding that they had been following what’s happening professionally to do the needful.
He assured that the families of the affected victims were on their way to Birnin Kebbi, the state capital, for the formal takeover of their children tomorrow, Wednesday.
Gov. Idris also commended the clerics and all other individuals who spent day and night praying for the safe return of the abducted schoolgirls.
