The New Nigerian People Party (NNPP) presidential candidate, Engineer Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso, promised to strengthen the Nigerian security architecture by 400 percent in order to tackle existing and future challenges in the country.
Kwankwaso, at a campaign held in Dutse capital Jigawa State, noted that the lingering security challenge in the country is a source of concern as people are killed and property destroyed on a daily basis.
According to him, the lackadaisical attitude shown by the authorities to increase the number of security personnel, provide modern weapons and other technical support, makes it difficult for the country to overcome the challenges.
“Considering the Nigerian population and comparing it with the number of security personnel there is no way that they (security) can handle crime and criminal activities in Nigeria.
“God willing when I become Nigerian president, I will multiply the number of police, military, DSS civil defense etc by 400 percent”, Kwankwaso declared.
He also promised to operate an inclusive government by strengthening community participation in governance under a program called “Community Participation Reorientation Committee” (CPRC)
“Under CPRC program a provision for monthly funds allocation will be made to every political ward to take care of some emergency and minus repairs of public facilities at the community level.”
He further promised to review the JAMB, NECO and WAEC fees, for increasing access to education for youth, creating job opportunities for wealth creation and poverty eradication which will in return help in security improvement in the country.
Speaking earlier the NNPP gubernatorial candidate in the state, Alhaji Aminu Ibrahim Ringim, called on the people to vote for his party’s candidates at all levels for positive change.
