The Presidency criticized Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde over his call for a United Nations-led investigation into the abduction of pupils and teachers in the state, describing the demand as unnecessary and politically motivated.

The Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said that the governor’s request suggested a lack of confidence in Nigeria’s security institutions, saying that the military and other security agencies had already provided explanations on the rescue operation.

onanuga said that the rescue operation came at a cost, with some security personnel, including members of the military and Amotekun, losing their lives while pursuing the abductors.

He  accused Makinde, who is a presidential aspirant, of allowing political considerations to influence his call for an international probe.
