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.
