However, the 2019 Vice Presidential candidate of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said that lessons must be drawn from the “unfortunate incident” to prevent a recurrence.
One of such lessons, he said, was the need to rejig Nigeria’s security architecture.
“I am elated at the release of the GSSS Kankara schoolboys.
“It is a huge relief not only for their families but also for Nigerians.
“Everyone involved in the process that led to their release deserves commendation.
