The Edo State governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming gubernatorial election in the state, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has congratulated the Governor of Kaduna State, Senator Uba Sanni, and the people of the state on the successful rescue of the abducted Kuriga schoolchildren.
Okpebholo in a statement issued by Akpakomiza Media Organisation yesterday, also praised the gallantry of the security agencies, particularly the Nigerian Army, involved in the rescue, as well as the National Security Adviser (NSA) to the President, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu.
According to the APC gubernatorial hopeful, who currently represents Edo Central senatorial district in the Senate, “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu deserved to be appreciated for the priority that his administration has accorded security of the lives of Nigerians in the efforts being made to arrest criminalities in the country.
“He believed that with the support of Nigerians and prayers, the current efforts by the APC administration would eventually rid the country of insecurity and usher in national prosperity in no distant time.”
On the forthcoming governorship election in Edo State, Okpebholo promised to make security one of the major focal points in his campaign, “as a precursor to his eventual victory in the forthcoming polls.”
