A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, Mr Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, has said the successful rescue of abducted pupils and teachers in Oyo State has renewed public confidence in the government’s efforts to tackle insecurity and strengthened hope for national stability.

Oyintiloye, who spoke with journalists in Osogbo on Sunday, said the operation had also frustrated attempts to politicise the abduction, describing the rescue as a demonstration of Nigeria’s capacity to overcome terrorism and other violent crimes.

He commended President Bola Tinubu, Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, the Nigerian Army and other security agencies for their roles in securing the release of the victims.
