Speaking as the children marked 130 days in captivity, El-Rufai—who represents the Kaduna North Federal Constituency—stressed that the ongoing situation is completely unacceptable.
Key details of the appeal include:
-
Background of the Abductions: The children were captured during separate attacks on the Mussa and Lassa communities in Borno State’s Askira/Uba Local Government Area.
-
Community Outrage: The lawmaker’s statement follows a protest by parents and residents in Askira/Uba, who threatened to march to the Presidential Villa in Abuja if the children are not freed within six days. Protesters also highlighted a double standard regarding the swift rescue of recently abducted schoolchildren in Oyo State.
-
A Call for Urgent Action: Describing 130 days as far too long, El-Rufai insisted that the authorities must treat the rescue as an urgent national priority to prevent the tragedy from being forgotten.
-
Boosting Security Efforts: While commending security forces for successfully rescuing the Oyo schoolchildren, El-Rufai urged them to use that momentum to secure the release of the remaining Borno children.

The Federal High Court in Abuja has sacked Abubakar Babazango as the African Democratic Congress (ADC) candidate for the Yola North, Yola South, and Girei Federal Constituency of Adamawa State.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Justice Chigozie S. Onah delivered the judgment on September 17, 2026, ruling in favor of Abubakar Bashir, who challenged the substitution of his primary election victory.

Unlawful Replacement: The court ruled that under Section 12 of the ADC Guidelines for the Conduct of Primary Elections, a declared winner can only be replaced in the event of death or withdrawal—neither of which applied to Bashir.

Directives to INEC: The court nullified Babazango’s nomination, barred him from presenting himself as the candidate, and ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to recognize Bashir as the validly elected ADC candidate for the 2027 election.

Cost Penalties: While Bashir had sought ₦25 million in litigation costs, Justice Onah instead ordered both the ADC and Babazango to pay ₦1 million each.
