I want to use this opportunity to commend Mr President and our leader, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for his relentless efforts in tackling insecurity across the nation. I also want to commend him and your humble self on the recent foiling of an attempted abduction of schoolchildren in Kogi State, which underscores the level of support the state continues to receive from the Federal Government. I attribute the successful operation to the vigilance, professionalism and improved coordination among the nation’s security agencies, which is clear evidence that intelligence-driven security operations are yielding positive results.

"I want to use this opportunity to commend Mr President and our leader, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for his relentless efforts in tackling insecurity across the nation," Bello stated. He specifically praised the President and Ribadu for the successful operation in Kogi, underscoring the level of support the state receives from the Federal Government.

The former governor also lauded Nuhu Ribadu for his strategic leadership and for fostering stronger collaboration among various security and intelligence agencies.

Mr President also deserves commendation for the recent rescue of the abducted schoolchildren in Oyo State. I equally commend you, my brother, the National Security Adviser, and, of course, the security agencies for your painstaking efforts, professionalism and determination in securing the safe release of the victims. I also pay tribute to the brave officers who made the ultimate sacrifice during the operation, describing their courage and selflessness as a testament to their commitment to the defence of the nation.
