<p>In recent times, the issue of kidnapping has taken a troubling turn in northern Nigeria, with a particularly alarming incident occurring at the Federal University Gusau (FUGUS). In this unfortunate event, mainly female students were abducted from their private hostels in Sabon Gida Village, Bungudu Local Government Area of Zamfara State. What is even more concerning is the apparent lack of swift and effective response from various quarters.</p>
<p>One glaring issue is the seeming absence of action from political representatives. The Member representing Gusau Federal Constituency and the Senator representing the area have yet to take significant steps in addressing the situation. It is clear that in moments of crisis, the people look to their elected officials for guidance and support.</p>
<p>The one proactive response has come from the state governor, who has called for increased security measures. While this is a step in the right direction, it cannot be the only response. Traditional leaders, who have historically played vital roles in maintaining peace and security, have also been noticeably silent. This silence raises questions about their effectiveness in this modern security challenge.</p>

<p>This lack of cohesive and rapid response exposes a critical issue in northern Nigeria – the absence of strong and vocal elders who can advocate for their communities. In times past, leaders like Sir Ahmadu Bello, the Sardauna of Sokoto, and Abubakar Tafawa Balewa were unwavering in their commitment to the well-being of the region. Today, it appears that such strong leadership is sorely lacking.</p>

<p>The people of northern Nigeria find themselves in a precarious situation, with kidnappings and insecurity on the rise. It is disheartening to witness this once-prosperous region grappling with such challenges. The collective responsibility to address these issues falls upon everyone – traditional leaders, clerics, politicians, and the masses alike.</p>
<p>It is worth noting that during the era of the Present Vice President Alh Kashim Shettima as Governor of Borno state swift action was taken when security incidents occurred. This involved briefing the president and requesting military assistance. However, in Zamfara, this level of responsiveness is yet to be seen.</p>
<p>The security crisis in the north is a call to action that should unite all stakeholders. The region must wake up from its slumber and confront this growing menace head-on. The legacy of great leaders like the Sardauna and Abubakar Tafawa Balewa must not be forgotten. The people of northern Nigeria should rally together to restore peace and prosperity to their land.</p>
<p>In conclusion, the recent kidnapping at Federal University Gusau is a stark reminder of the security challenges facing northern Nigeria. The lack of a robust and coordinated response from political representatives and traditional leaders is a cause for concern. It is time for the north to come together, awaken from its slumber, and confront this security crisis collectively. Only through unity and decisive action can the region regain its former glory and ensure a brighter future for its people.</p>
