Banditry: Buhari, Masari Have Failed Us – Katsina Lawmaker

A stalwart of the All Progressives Congress, and member of the Katsina State House of Assembly, Hon. Mustapha Yusuf Jibiya has lamented the failure of President Muhammadu Buhari and Governor Aminu Masari to save them from bandit attacks.

The lawmaker said that his constituents now resort to soldiers from the neighbouring Niger Republic for help in the face of bandit attacks.

“It is very disturbing that from eight Local Government Areas (LGAs), we now have about 12 Local Governments that are ravaged by the criminally-minded bandits. This is as a result of the insensitivity of both the State and Federal Government,” who spoke on the floor of the House of Assembly was quoted as saying by PRNigeria.

Jibiya, while speaking further in Hausa during the plenary session, warned that the precarious situation will snowball to a dangerous level if no concrete action is taken by the government to stem the tide of the bloody attacks.

He said: “If the relevant authorities and government fail to act now, the situation will soon get out of hand, and it will be difficult for us to then handle.”

The lawmaker, who firmly insisted that both the Federal and Katsina State Government have failed to provide security for citizens, disclosed that his constituents now prefer to call on the Nigerien security forces for help when in distress.

“My constituents are quick to seek the assistance of the Nigerien troops immediately they are under attack. They feel at home with them. And this is because the Nigerien troops will swiftly come to their rescue. It is unfortunate that our people are being killed, yet Mr. President and Governor of Katsina State have remained docile.

“They have refused to tackle the insecurity conundrum in our dear State headlong. What is wrong with this kind of leadership? After Maiduguri, Kastina is the next slaughter slab in the country,” Hon. Jibiya said.
