The Nigerian government and security agencies have the capacity to rescue the school children that were abducted from Government Science College, Kagara, Niger state.
The National Secretary, Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee of Nigeria’s governing party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, Senator John Akpan Udoedehe stated this in a press statement.
He said President Muhammadu Buhari has deployed National Security agents to Niger state to investigate and rescue the abducted school children.
“Coordinated by our service chiefs, President Muhammadu Buhari has already deployed to Niger State national security assets to achieve this.
“We urge parents, loved ones and other stakeholders not to be distracted by the PDP’s insensitive, horribly-timed and baseless conspiracies and lies as all hand are on deck to ensure the quick and safe release of the abductees.
“Government’s resolve and the capacity of our security services to end these cowardly attacks on soft targets, particularly schools is not in doubt. We urge the continued support all Nigerians to ensure this”, he said.
Senator Udoedehe also urged Nigerians not to take the assertions of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP seriously.
It would be recalled that PDP in its press statement on the abduction said “Bandits moved from village to village, supported by a helicopter”.
Senator Udoedehe said PDP’s statement was crass, wild and baseless.
