The gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP, in Plateau State in the last general election, Senator Jeremiah Useni, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to urgently utilize his political power to secure the rescue of captives of Boko Haram.
Useni made the call in reaction to the recent abduction of Miss Jennifer Ukambong Samuel and others who were abducted last week by Boko Haram in Borno State.
It was gathered that Miss Samuel was abducted while on transit from Monguno to Maiduguri on the 22nd of December, 2019.
Useni disclosed this development in a press statement signed by his Media Aise , Yiljap Abraham, over the weekend.
The statement reads in part “It is painful to see many Plateau patriots captured away from home in the line of duty, and some, like Lawrence Duna Dacighir and Godfrey Ali Shikagham, both from Mangu LGA, have had to pay the supreme price in the hands of the insurgents in Borno State.
“It is all the more disturbing when the reasons for these kidnap and gruesome killings are tied to religious differences and as revenge for other killings outside the Nigerian borders.
“I call on the President and Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to impress it on the Armed forces and all security services, the good people of Borno and surrounding States, as well as friendly nations to secure the release of Miss Samuel as well as the freedom of many other Nigerians in captivity.

“Mr President, rise with all the valour from your training and the powers of your office to put an end to these impunities by hostile forces that want to keep this nation in perpetual fear. I am also disturbed by a report that another Plateau citizen Bashir Abdulhamid with the Primary Health Care Department of Kanam LGA is among those captured by the insurgents. Bashir’s family and all of us must remain calm and strengthened in the hope that his ordeal will help to raise the kind of aid and action that will give peace to our land and our hearts.
“It is indeed reprehensible and unacceptable to kidnap or take the lives of people who are out and about their legitimate and official activities to promote the good of the nation and the welfare of citizens.”
