Sequel to the rescue of the school pupils who were abducted from a school in Kuriga, Kaduna State, the governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the 2023 election, Murtala Ajaka, has asked Nigerians to eschew sentiments and shun hatred for one another.
The former All Progressives Congress (APC) spokesperson also called on Nigerians to support the administration of President Bola Tinubu in the “decisive, epic and terminal onslaught against violent and non-state antagonists of the Nigerian State.”
Ajaka who stated this in a statement he released in Abuja yesterday, while reacting to the rescue of the school children abducted by bandits, said President Bola Tinubu deserved all the commendation for the successful operation.
He said, this milestone has brought immeasurable relief and assurances of safety to both the relatives of the victims and other Nigerians who have been skeptical of the ability of security forces and the intelligence community to successfully grapple with and conclusively vanquish the menace of hydra-headed insecurity and widespread violent criminality in the country over the past couple of years.
“Conclusively, I enjoin all Nigerians to eschew divisive sentiments, shun hatred for one another and support the administration of President Ahmed Bola Tinubu in the decisive, epic and terminal onslaught against violent and non-state antagonists of the Nigerian State. This call has become urgent and necessary in view of the fact that the nation cannot register meaningful development without peace, stability, equity and justice.
“The credit for this breakthrough deservedly rests in the bosom of Mr. President, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu, GCFR whose prodigious and strategic re-modelling, planning and mobilisation of the security architecture in Nigeria is fast yielding the overall desired outcomes of safety and overwhelming restoration of confidence in the minds and spirits of Nigerians.
“I therefore write to congratulate Mr. President, the National Security Adviser (NSA), the Governor of Kaduna State, the Service Chiefs of our Armed Forces, the Inspector General of Police, the Director General of the Department of State Services, the patriotic media organisations, proud volunteers, fearless informants and the traditional institutions for all their swift synergistic collaborations that birthed this successful rescue operation,”Ajaka said.
