The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has said that those it described as ‘Naysayers’ have leant their lessons following the release of the Kankara schoolboys.
He stated this while addressing the press on Friday on the release of the 344 Kankara schoolboys.
Although none of those, who launched #BringBackOurBoys with intent to – in their usual anti-progress manner – politicise the unfortunate security issue the state, has expressed happiness at timely rescue of the over 300 students by military operations ordered by President and Commander-in-Chief Muhammadu Buhari in collaboration with Katsina State Chief Security Officer, Governor Aminu Bello Masari, the Minister and other well meaning Nigerians have done so.
The DEFENDER reports that Katsina, like Kaduna, Plateau, Sokoto and Zamfara states, is another Federating unit in the country, which easily takes responsibility and does not escalate state issues to rubbishing the name of the President, Governor Masari takes his responsibility squarely without shifting blame elsewhere.
However, Alhaji Lai Mohammed congratulated the parents and guardians of the schoolboys, who, according to him, will soon reunite with their children and wards.
He stated that “the kidnap of the Kankara boys marked the second of its kind under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
”Just like the Kankara schoolboys, all but one of the kidnapped schoolgirls from Dapchi, Leah Sharibu, were rescued unharmed.
“Each time this has happened, we have always accepted responsibility, rather than being in denial.
“We will not relent until all those who remain missing in Chibok and Dapchi are reunited with their families.
