As a father, I feel the pains of the parents and guardians of the abductees.
My heart is with you at this moment and will always be with you throughout the rescue mission.
I also want to use this opportunity to appeal to the parents and guardians to exercise more patience and continue to pray for the success of the ongoing rescue mission.
Despite this seeming setback, my administration will ever remain focused on its strategy of disarmament.
A single bullet in the hands of the non-state rogue elements could result in severe harm to the innocent.
I am of the conviction that the large cache of assorted weapons recovered through the disarmament process has made Zamfara State safer despite the recent unfortunate incidents.
The type of dangerous weapons recovered through the disarmament process would make the heart of any person of conscience to cringe.
He said this is not a moment to trade blames.
“The recent twist in the spate of banditry brings to the fore the need for the adoption of a uniform strategy across all the affected states”.
According to him,Politics or any other difference should not stand in the way of the fight against insecurity.
He maintained that the fundamental objective of governance is to secure the lives and property of the governed. My administration will never relent in the pursuance of this fundamental objective.
I appeal to the people of the state to remain calm and resist the evil machinations of those who would want to exploit the current situation to achieve political ends.
Insha Allah, with our collective resolve, we would emerge out of this situation stronger.
“I call on people to be more security conscious and report any suspicious individuals or activities to the relevant authorities.”
“efforts to strengthen security around our schools, I have directed the immediate closure of all boarding secondary schools across the State”.
“While we remain appreciative of the efforts by the Federal Government in the fight against banditry and other criminal activities in the State, I wish to appeal for more support towards combatting this challenge”.
