Zamfara state -politics
The member House of representative *HON.KABIRU YAHAYA CKASSIC* Maintained that At last, the conscience of Nigerians and the international community has finally been lanced over the cruel killings by bandits in Zamfara State.
Midweek, *President Muhammadu Buhari* cut short his foreign trip and returned home to attend to the raging insecurity plaguing the country. On Thursday, the President met with security chiefs to review and appraise the ceaseless human carnages that had attracted national and global outrage. Earlier in the week,
*the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu*, had visited Gusau, the Zamfara State capital, where he declared that no effort would be spared to smoke out the bandits from their holes and bring them to justice. He had consoling words for Zamfara people who have become strangers to peace.
The lawmaker call on security agencies in the state to add more efforts to ensure the safety lifes and property of the Good people of Zamfara state
Not many are well informed about what is happening in a state that was once peaceful. While some are wont to simply define the raging banditry as a fallout of illegal mining activities in the state, others relate the crisis to herdsmen/farmers’ clashes that have led to loss of lives and property.
*Some have accused politicians of being behind the crisis*.
The truth is: all of these form part of the raging crisis, but do not fully account for turning the state into a galling oasis of perpetual and mindless murder
The result of the visit was amazing as it opened my mind to all sides of the story. Critical stakeholders insisted that the absence of political will and sincerity of purpose among the people are some of the factors that make peace unattainable. To many of these stakeholders who participated in programmes organised by the IDFP advocacy team, peace is not the product of government only; the citizens must also be involved. Considering the enormous cost of maintaining security, no government is capable of shouldering the cost of providing security to the country. When citizens are unwilling to cooperate and collaborate with government over the matter of security, there is little government can achieve.
*The Reps added that the members of the advocacy team* were made to understand
