Kaduna State governor, Uba Sani, has warned politicians who politicise security matters in the name of opposition to desist just as he received 58 kidnapped victims who were released by security forces and handed over to the National Security Adviser, Malam Nuhu Ribadu.
Sani said the antics of those opposition politicians were jeopardising the lives of innocent people of the state.
The governor, who made this known at the weekend in Kaduna, vowed to deal with this category of politicians who derive joy in the escalation of insecurity to further their political interests.
Governor Sani maintained that ‘’the merchants of insecurity will not be happy with the release of these innocent souls because they are benefiting from insecurity.’’
“Through our Kaduna Peace Model, which emphasises the use of a non-kinetic approach, Birnin Gwari, which used to be a no-go area’ for most people, has become peaceful.
“Bandits have laid down their arms, and markets that have been closed down for over 10 years have now been reopened, and business activities have started booming in Birnin Gwari and parts of Giwa local government, which was ravaged by insecurity,’’ he added.
Governor Sani promised that the people of Kauru, Kajuru and parts of Kachia who are experiencing pockets of bandit attacks, will soon be ‘’sleeping with their two eyes closed because security forces are on top of the situation.’’
Speaking earlier, Pastor Danlami Mutane who commended the government for taking good care of the kidnapped victims, further thanked the National Security Adviser for facilitating their release.
