The assurance was given by the forum’s chairman and Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, on Thursday, November 20, in Birnin Kebbi during a solidarity visit following Monday’s attack in Danko/Wasagu Local Government Area.

Uzodimma described the attack as “tragic and unacceptable,” emphasizing that the visit was intended to show solidarity with the victims’ families and the state government.

“It is painful, and we deemed it necessary to stand with you during this difficult time,” he said.

He further stated that APC governors remain united behind President Bola Tinubu as his administration works to strengthen national security and curb the rising wave of attacks across the country.

“We are your brothers in unity, standing firmly with President Bola Tinubu to ensure national security is reinforced and this troubling trend of insecurity is addressed,” Uzodimma said.

“As members of the PGF, we are committed to doing whatever it takes to secure Nigeria.”

Responding, Kebbi State Governor Nasir Idris thanked the delegation for their visit, noting that President Tinubu had personally assured the state and the parents of the abducted students that the Federal Government was taking all necessary measures to secure their safe return.

“We have also directed clerics to pray for the students’ safe return and for peace to prevail in the state,” Idris added.

The delegation included Governors Umar Namadi of Jigawa, Ahmed Usman-Ododo of Kogi, Hyacinth Alia of Benue, and Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo.

Other dignitaries present were the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Senator Atiku Bagudu; Minister of State for Humanitarian Affairs, Tanko Sununu; Senator Bala Ibn-Na’Allah; Hon. Bello Ka’oje; and Hon. Kabiru Tukura.

The visit comes amid mounting pressure on security agencies to rescue the abducted schoolgirls and prevent further attacks in the state.
