The Senator Uba Sani (Kaduna Central) has urged the people of the state to lend their full weight behind Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s war against banditry, kidnapping, armed robbery and allied crimes.
The lawmaker observed that the El-Rufai administration has since moved from agonising over the incessant attacks on communities to an “all-out assault on criminal elements”, with a determination to win the war.
Senator Uba Sani stated that the governor was leading from the front and he therefore means business in the fight against all forms of criminality.
Uba Sani, who is the Chairman, Senate Committee on Banking, Insurance and other Financial Institutions, declared that “the days of banditry are indeed numbered in Kaduna state.”
Turning to his constituents, he said, “I wish to passionately call on my constituents, the good people of Kaduna Central Senatorial District, to give the governor total support as he wages a relentless battle against murderous elements and retrogressive forces keen in reversing the gains the government has made in the areas of development and peaceful co-existence. We must collectively make Kaduna state extremely hot for them. In unity lies our hope of success”.
The senator also commended President Muhammadu Buhari over what he described as his exemplary leadership in critical times such as this.
He noted that the president has been giving Kaduna state all the support it needs to degrade the bandits.
“I must not fail to mention the Senate President, His Excellency Dr. Ahmad Lawan, for the uncommon support he has been giving Governor El-Rufai since the insecurity situation took a dangerous turn. We deeply appreciate his support and thank him for his friendship.
“Our gallant members of the armed forces, the police and operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) have been showing their mettle in the battle against banditry, kidnapping and other forms of criminality. Their patriotism and deep love for our people have been on display. We are indebted to them”, he noted.
Uba Sani emphasised that there was no better time than now to join hands with government as it tackles the insecurity challenge in the state.
“This is the time for all of us to close ranks and give total support to the government as it strives to make life uncomfortable for enemies of our people. They (criminals) want to arrest development. They are keen on ensuring food insecurity. We must defeat banditry so that we can continue, without interruption, the unfinished business of making Kaduna state a model of development in Nigeria,” he said.
