The Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress APC commended the effort of Minister of State for Defence, Dr Bello Mohammed Matawalle for prompt coordinating the rescue and safe return of all the abducted students of Government Girls' Comprehensive Secondary School, Maga, Kebbi state.
The State Publicity Secretary of the Party Yusuf Idris has said in a statement Wednesday in Gusau the state capital.

The party described Matawalle's approach to insecurity, which he deployed while serving as governor of Zamfara State, has exemplified in coordinating the successful rescue of the abducted Maga school children.
The party also commends President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for putting the lives of his people first by cancelling all his scheduled engagement to monitor the security situation in the country.
"We also congratulate the Kabbi state government under the leadership of His Excellency, Dr. Nasiru Idris and the parents of the abducted girls for the safe rescue and return of their children unhurt and in good condition of health". The statement added
