Top Kano APC figure praises Tinubu for role in freeing 176 kidnapped Kwara residents

An All Progressives Congress chieftain in Kano State, Musa Kwankwaso, has commended President Bola Tinubu for the Federal Government’s efforts in securing the rescue of 176 residents of Woro and Nuku communities in Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara State.

n

The commendation was contained in a statement signed by Kwankwaso, a copy of which was made available to PUNCH Online on Thursday.

n

“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.

n

Kwankwaso, who is the Director of Finance, Hadejia Jama’are River Basin Development Authority, noted that the rescue, which was carried out by the Nigerian military, brought to an end nearly six months of anguish for the victims’ families.

n

Recall that the Kwara State Government announced the development on Wednesday through its official Facebook page, describing the rescue as a major breakthrough and commending President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, security agencies and everyone who contributed to the operation.

n

“The opposition should learn to appreciate government efforts when there is a breakthrough in the security challenges facing the nation”, Kwankwaso added.

n

Kwankwaso also commended the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, the two Ministers of Defence and the Service Chiefs for the rescue of the 176 abducted Kwarans, adding, “This is a clear testament that sooner rather than later, the security challenges in the country will become a thing of the past.”

n

He expressed optimism that Nigerians, especially Northerners, would reciprocate the gesture by re-electing Tinubu for a second term in 2027.

n

“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.
