Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has said that he speaks to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu twice daily over the security situation in the state.
Uba Sani stated this during an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today.
On March 8, bandits invaded the LEA Primary and Junior Secondary School, Kuriga in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State and abducted at least 312 students and a principal, Abubakar Isah in broad daylight.
Also Sunday night, bandits kidnapped at least 86 persons in Tantatu and Aguba communities in the Kufana District of Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
But during the interview, the governor said that Tinubu and the service chiefs were committed to ending insecurity in Nigeria.
He said, “Mr President is worried and concerned. I speak to Mr President twice daily on this issue and he showed a lot of concern. He is committed and I have a tremendous belief in what the president is doing. I also believe in the armed forces. I have no doubt in my mind that we will overcome this problem.
“We had a meeting with the NSA and the service chiefs and everyone of them is concerned. Mr President is worried, too. He calls me twice daily, sometimes four times a day, to ask me about the situation in my state. I have no doubt in my mind that Mr president under his able leadership will address this problem. It is a matter of time.”
Uba Sani added that his administration had come up with an intervention to help the citizens of the state by empowering businesses and households.
