He stated, “We are here to extend our sincere condolences regarding the recent kidnapping incident in the state. Our hearts and prayers are with those who have been impacted. We remain hopeful that these children will be safely reunited with their families soon.
Wherever they are, we trust that divine strength will sustain them. As we await their return, we pray for their rescue and safe recovery, trusting that the entire nation is united in prayer.”
While commending the leadership of CAN in the state, the APC National Chairman expressed confidence that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s initiatives are beginning to produce positive results. He further prayed for the swift and safe recovery of the abducted children.
He also expressed concern over the rising incidence of kidnapping across the country, particularly noting the increasing frequency of such occurrences.
