The President Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd) has revealed he is impressed with the efforts of Katsina Governor, Aminu Masari, and the military, towards the release of the abducted schoolboys.

Recall that Masari announced that the abducted students of the Government Science Secondary School, Kankara, Katsina State who regained freedom on Thursday night were at Tsafe, Zamfara State, and would be transported to Kankara on Friday.

In two separate videos posted on his verified Twitter account, Buhari heaped praises on the army and Masariand reiterated that his government “is acutely aware of our responsibility. Our responsibility is to secure the country…”

Buhari added, “I spoke with the governor. I congratulated him and congratulated the Army that organised the operation, the encirclement of the abductors, and getting the children. The military is well-trained. I think they are sufficiently motivated.”

“I am being impressed with the governor, he has been up and doing since it happened. I congratulated him that the children have been successfully recovered.”

Meanwhile, the president was quick to “welcome the release of the kidnapped students of Government Science Secondary School, Kankara” last night adding that the release “is a huge relief to the entire country & international community.”

He, however, urged “Nigerians to be patient and fair to us as we deal with the challenges of security, the economy, and corruption. We will not relent.”
