Really grateful for the safe return of the children and teachers abducted from Oriire LGA 56 days ago. Our priority now is to ensure they are reunited with their families and support their rehabilitation after this traumatic experience.
We also commend the security agencies that took part in the rescue operations for their sacrifices. May the souls of those who paid the ultimate price rest in peace and may God comfort their families.

Meanwhile Peter obi was trying to create enmty between Mr president and the governor. Obi is actually a nuisance.

Everyone who has a hand in this rescue deserves the praise.

But Governor sir, why you self dey do gossip say the President never called you when you know the rescue is imminent

Good job @everyone involved...we know those region wey set camera dey mock go cry to sleep tonight 😵‍💫

Bitter ones will soon invade this thread with bitter narrative oo 🤣

Are you sure about that?

When Chibok happened, it was the fault of President Jonathan. They went all over the world asking Jonathan to bring back the children. But when the Oyo State abduction happened, they said it was the irresponsibility of the state governor and the state government.

Congratulations everybody involved in the process of the release. Especially, thanks should be given to governor Seyi on this because I am sure his talk with the kidnappers played a big role to facilitate the celebration of today.

I guessed they gave money to the Bandit and still cornered them...kudus to our security agency on this. It's a loud one to all terrorist to stay clear of Oyo State and the national Park

How much did they pay to get them released? Don't tell me they didn't pay billions

According to reports, one of the key tactics employed during the rescue operation was identifying the kidnappers, tracing their family members, and detaining them for questioning.

The move reportedly mounted intense pressure on the kidnappers and contributed to the success of the operation.

The operation was reportedly coordinated by the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), bringing together personnel from the Nigerian Army, the Nigerian Navy, and the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) in a joint effort.

Kudos to our security men in this

What is the difference between you and obi? What do you know. Mr president and Makinde did not talk ill of each other but obi in his ignorance was acquiring more enemies.

I was about to comment on that .

Giringori is as evil as they come.

And these same people were insulting me here for refusing to be part of their anti South Africa campaign .

I had stated in one of my threads now deleted that Nigerians will be foolish to allow drug cartel figures and their beneficiaries to push them into hating SA and her people for rightly calling for their deportation from that country.

They all said I am a tribalist for not attacking South Africa and that tribalism has eroded every patriotism I should have.

For calling me a tribalist for rejecting joining their latest hate propaganda against South Africa , they inadvertently admitted that it is their people who are causing trouble in SA.

I responded to them citing their own hatred for Nigeria and Nigerians that they can't expect me to be blindly patriotic and come in defense of criminals in South Africa because they share the same passport with me.

Now you can see how they have been mocking Yorubas over this abduction and were hoping the kids will all be murdered by the terrorists.

This is why the news of the rescue operation of the kids by the Nigerian security forces is really paining them in their dark souls.

See Seun’s mannerism and professionalism,if na the other guy he will be acting a if journalist pass governor

One presidential candidate said Gov Makinde told him so, and he hasn't deny it.

That Agulu cho cho cho parrot, did Makinde confirm that he said so to the emu?

A very sad day for Obidients worldwide. Hug any Obidient close to you, they need all the love they can get right now because it’s not easy having one’s hopes getting dashed repeatedly.

Peter Obi will never comment on the rescue operation.

This I can bet my left blockus on .

While away in Bauchi campaigning for an ill-fated Presidential bid. Quite a despicable political character. Before now I was in the serious hope he could successfully challenge Tinubu who has failed to live up to his promise to provide regular electricity supply. He messed up big time serially making terribly wrong judgments and choices in damaging and unfruitful political alignments. What a terrible choice to have associated with Tannimu (whose is this nose!) the political SAN! That Amala Convention terribly damaged the political baby he remains! Meanwhile the Angulu (Hausa word for a Vulture The King of Scavengers) from Agulu was busy gossiping while the kidnapped victims were in the forest!

That's how their grandparents described the day Gowon created states for the minority people in the old Eastern region.

While the minorities where jubilating, the likes of Chinue Achebe wrote that it was the darkest day in Eastern Nigeria.

Kidnapped on school uniforms rescued on akanra.

Obi and his people are sad tonight, they won't be able to sleep well tonight

sambas:
Kidnapped on school uniforms rescued on akanra.

At least they were rescued

Now move to another propaganda

Now that Sheyi Makinde has appreciated Tinubu, Pitobi can now go and rest

sambas:
Kidnapped on school uniforms rescued on akanra.

Yeah, the kidnap never happened, we know. They only went on excursion

Good of him. But he should try not to split votes come 2027 with his APM Presidential agenda that is heading no where, because Tinubu will even will Oyo State.

How much did they pay to get them released? Don't tell me they didn't pay billions

Mr. Governor you better leave petty politics aside and embrace your brother from South West.. all those terrorists sympathizers you people are fraternizing with in the name of political parties don't mean well for this country.
PBAT's second term in office will usher in hope for Nigeria no doubt.

When chibok happened and Insecurity all over the country, you people blamed northerners for trying to derail Jonathan govt.
You never asked Jonathan to take responsibility , back then, rhey blame northerners, they absurd Jonathan of.any responsibility but now it's all Tinubu's fault. I remember those days very well. Tinubu accepted responsibility as Jonathan showed have done instead of blaming northerners as a group.
Hypocrites.

Someone would rather we waited for him to achieve his utopian dream before such feats come to fore. Why? In order for him to take the credit, the nation must remain in a state of inertia, unfortunately!
