House of Representatives’ hopeful, Dr Kunle Adegbite, earlier Wednesday paid a sympathy visit to Ahoro-Esinele and Yawota in Oriire local government area of Ogbomoso in Oyo state.

Dr Adegbite who is eyeing the House of Reps’ seat for Ogbomoso North/Ogbomoso South/Oriire federal constituency, arrived home Tuesday and his first duty was to go to the scene of kidnapping where 46 teachers, students/pupils including a two-year old were abducted, aside the killing of a teacher, a student and a town persons.

However, he was greeted with cries of lamentations from mothers whose children were kidnapped, “Egbawa, e sanu wa (safe us, help us). Help us to secure their release, it is money we are ready to contribute we are not lazy,” they lamented as they received the new entrant into politics.

Adegbite, who is also CEO of Twindad Foundation and Orphanage Home, expressed grief at the incident urging the residents to be strong at this time.

“What happened on May 15 was grievous. Only heartless people could perpetrate such heinous acts. It is so bad. Our mind is with you. God will rescue those still in captivity.”

The philanthropist while commending government and security agents, further urged them to intensify efforts in securing the release of the victims unharmed.

“We are assured government is making immense efforts to get them released but we charge them to intensify efforts towards securing the release of those abducted unharmed. Negotiation is ongoing, it will result in success,” Adegbite told the people.

He said he understood the villagers would have been disturbed from going to their farms since the incident, “That is the reason we brought the food items, to bring little relief.”

He added, “Our representatives in government need to do more. We can see they don’t have telecommunications’ base stations here, so there is no network. These rural communities lack a lot of amenities, as representatives these are the things we should work towards.”
