Former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi has expressed excitement over the release of students who were kidnapped from Government Science Secondary School Kankara, Katsina State.
Taking to Twitter on Friday morning to react to the news of the release, Obi who was the Vice Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democrative Party in 2019, wrote:
“I am elated at the release of the GSSS Kankara schoolboys. It is a huge relief not only for their families but also for Nigerians. Everyone involved in the process that led to their release deserves commendation.
“There are lessons to be learnt from this unfortunate incident, and one of them is the compelling need to rejig our security architecture. -PO“
Similarly, Kingsley Moghalu, the Presidential Candidate of Young Progressive Party (YPP) in 2019, also expressed happiness over the release of the students, but warned about “the cost and implications of negotiating with terrorists“.
Also taking to Twitter, Moghalu wrote:
“So happy at the news that the 344 kidnapped #KankaraSchoolboys have been freed. I congratulate the children, their families and communities. We must be careful, though, of the cost and implications of negotiating with terrorists. This should not have happened in the first place.
“The security of Nigerian lives and property must be sacrosanct! #NigerianLivesMatter
