An All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain in Kano State, Musa Kwankwaso, has praised President Bola Tinubu over the Federal Government’s role in the rescue of 176 abducted residents of Woro and Nuku communities in Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara State.
Kwankwaso, who is the Director of Finance at the Hadejia Jama’are River Basin Development Authority, conveyed his commendation in a statement issued on Thursday and made available to journalists.
“As the 176 residents of Woro and Nuku communities in Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara State, who were abducted on February 3, 2026, regained their freedom, it shows that President Tinubu is clearly working to free the nation from the bondage of insecurity,” the statement partly read.
He noted that the operation, carried out by the Nigerian military, ended almost six months of uncertainty and emotional distress for the families of the kidnapped victims.
The APC chieftain’s remarks came a day after the Kwara State Government announced the successful rescue on its official Facebook page, describing the development as a major breakthrough while commending President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the security agencies, and everyone involved in the operation.
“The opposition should learn to appreciate government efforts when there is a breakthrough in the security challenges facing the nation”, Kwankwaso added.
He also applauded the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, the two Ministers of Defence, and the Service Chiefs for their roles in securing the victims’ release.
“This is a clear testament that sooner rather than later, the security challenges in the country will become a thing of the past,” Kwankwaso added.
Expressing confidence in the administration’s security efforts, he said the achievements would earn President Tinubu widespread support, particularly in Northern Nigeria, ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
“Northerners will no doubt come out en masse to vote for President Tinubu for a second term in 2027 because of his tremendous achievements,” Kwankwaso added.
