The Governor of Seyi Makinde has said he is willing to sacrifice himself if it would guarantee the safe release of kidnapped school children and teachers in Oyo State.
Makinde made the statement while expressing concern over the abduction and reaffirming his administration’s commitment to securing the victims’ return.
“If you ask me, I can sacrifice myself for those kidnapped school children and teachers to be released.”
The statement has since generated widespread reactions online, with Nigerians divided over the governor’s remark and the ongoing response to insecurity in the state.

What is he waiting for? O ya do it quickly. Wait, if the governor the CSO of the state is confused on this how would a President sitting in Abuja get it right in Oyo local govt? Woe unto those putting us in trouble in this country.
