Nollywood actor Femi Branch has appealed to Nigerian political leaders to stop dragging schoolchildren into political disputes following the rescue of pupils and teachers who were abducted in Oyo State. Branch made the appeal while reacting to comments by Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, who said the abduction took place only hours after he formally declared his intention to contest the presidency during a meeting with Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed. Without directly attacking any individual, the actor urged politicians to refrain from linking the traumatic experience of the children to political narratives. “I just want to make an appeal and beg us in this country. I’m not directing this to anybody but I’m begging all of us that whatever dirty politics that we’re all playing, can we just leave the innocent children out of it. The children in this country are suffering enough, they are suffering enough. “The so-called school they are going, the quality of the education, and everything is scrambled, they are suffering enough. Can we just leave them out of this dirty politics that we’re playing? Innocent children were in the bush for 56 days. Those kids must be traumatized by now and needed to be attended to. “The governor came out and said he declared to be president at 4pm and by 9am the next morning is when they packed the children and the teachers away, thereby insinuating that it was a political game. Can we just leave these poor children out of our dirty politics? Please I’m not attacking or calling out anybody, I’m just appealing to us to leave the innocent children out of our madness, please. ”The actor stressed that the children had already endured significant hardship and should not become part of political arguments or accusations. His comments come amid growing public debate over the circumstances surrounding the abduction and the eventual rescue of the pupils and teachers after spending 56 days in captivity.
