ANOTHER APC GOVERNOR BLASTS PRESIDENT BUHARI ON SECURITY: Insists Buhari May Fail In Zamfara
The Governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari said
he had dropped his responsibility as Chief Security Officer of the state as he
had no control over security machinery in the state.
Speaking to newsmen in Talata-Mafara on Friday, Yari said
that his decision stemmed from the seeming helplessness of the state government
and the people over recurring killings in the state.
.
He deplored the prevailing situation whereas the chief
security officer of the state, he could not take decisions on strategies for
protecting the state and its people, and had it implemented.
“We have been facing serious security challenges over the
years, but in spite of being governor and Chief Security Officer of the state,
I cannot direct security officers on what to do nor sanction them when they err.
.
“As Chief Security Officer, the nomenclature is just a name,”
he said.
.
The governor lamented that it was disheartening that killings
in the state had continued in spite of the President Muhammadu Buhari’s order
to security agencies to end the incessant blood-letting across the country.
.
According to him, since the president’s order, the killings
have not stopped.
.
In a week there were attacks in this state which claimed over
30 lives.
.
“I don’t even know if we would have the gut to go campaigning
for the President’s reelection with these people.”
.
He said that the state government was spending a huge amount
of its resources on security but to no avail.
.
Yari, therefore, urged people of the state to be more
faithful to God and embark on special prayers over the challenges facing the
state.
.
He also appealed to them to be patient and continue to
cooperate with the government and security agencies as steps were being taken
to address the challenges.
.
“We cannot keep quiet while our people are being killed
daily. We are going to cooperate with all stakeholders to bring the situation
to an end,” he added.
