The lawmaker said in a statement that all the major stakeholders in the state are working together for the safe return of the abducted persons.
His assurance was contained in the Eid-el-Kabir message to the people of his constituency yesterday.
The areas where the abductees were kidnapped falls within his constituency.
The son of the former governor of the state, Adebayo Alao-Akala also urged the people of the state to pray for the rescue of the abductees, and for God’s intervention on the security challenges facing the country, describing the abduction of the Ogbomoso students as saddening.
“As I speak, some of our school children are still in the captivity of their abductors. This is saddening, and it is not a moment for elaborate and vociferous celebration,” the lawmaker said.
“As your Representative, we are talking to the critical stakeholders to ensure the safe release of all the abducted, and this we shall do without letting you down.
“To the families of the kidnapped school children, we know that it is indeed a traumatic moment and a difficult emotional labyrinth to navigate, but the best we can do is to pray, intensify effort in their safe release and encourage our security agencies.
“And perpetrators of this heinous and dastardly shall be brought to book and answer to their crime against humanity. Ordinarily, our schools should be a safe place for the future leaders. Unfortunately, these enemies of peace have taken their criminal inclination to where future leaders are being incubated. And for this, they have murdered sleep and they shall definitely know no rest.
“As we celebrate Eid al-Kabir, let us continue to be patriotic citizens and eschew any act of violence or whatever practice that may threaten our unity.
“Most importantly, we should not relent in praying for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is trying his best to reposition Nigeria. And with our collective efforts, Nigeria shall be great.”
The magazine reports that the abductees have made passionate appeal to the government to rescue them from their abductors.
On Wednesday, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in his nationwide broadcast to mark this year’s Muslim Eid -al-Kabir celebrations assured the Nigerians that the abducted students will be rescued with their teachers.
