An All Progressives Congress chieftain in Kano State, Musa Kwankwaso, has commended President Bola Tinubu following the rescue of 176 abducted residents of Woro and Nuku communities in Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara State.
According to a statement issued by Kwankwaso on Thursday, the successful operation demonstrates the Federal Government’s commitment to tackling insecurity across the country.
The 176 residents were abducted on February 3, 2026, and spent nearly six months in captivity before being rescued by the Nigerian military.
Kwankwaso, who serves as Director of Finance at the Hadejia Jama’are River Basin Development Authority, said the operation ended months of anguish for the victims and their families.
The Kwara State Government had announced the rescue on Wednesday through its official Facebook page, describing it as a major breakthrough. It also commended President Tinubu, security agencies and all those involved in the operation.
Kwankwaso urged opposition politicians to acknowledge progress made in addressing the country’s security challenges whenever significant breakthroughs occur.
He also praised the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, the Ministers of Defence and the Service Chiefs for their roles in securing the victims’ release, expressing confidence that Nigeria’s security situation would continue to improve.
The APC chieftain further said he believed Northern voters would support President Tinubu’s bid for a second term in the 2027 general election, citing what he described as the administration’s achievements.
