The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Katsina Alhaji Lado Danmarke said his government will prioritise the security of lives and properties as well as the provision of infrastructure if elected governor in 2023.
Danmarke, who spoke in an interview in Abuja, said insecurity in the state has affected governance and provision of infrastructure adversely as a result of banditry, terrorism and other forms criminalities.
