A coalition of civil society organizations (CSOs) based in Katsina has charged President-elect Bola Tinubu with addressing the lingering insecurity in the Northwest and other parts of the country upon his assumption of office.
On Tuesday, Malam Muhammad Danjuma-Katsina, Vice Chairman, Board of Trustees (BoT), Katsina Youth Crusade, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Katsina.
Danjuma-Katsina stated that the people of Katsina, Kaduna, Zamfara, Sokoto, and Kebbi states, as well as Niger in the North Central and Borno in the Northeast, were plagued by banditry, kidnapping, cattle rustling, and other crimes.
He urged the new president to quickly swing into action in tackling the problems.
“It is our prayers that the president-elect would consolidate on the gains of his predecessors in the current fight against banditry and terrorism in the country”.
“This is because, if there is no security, there will be no peace and development in any country,” Danjuma-Katsina said.
The coalition also urged Tinubu to have the patience to involve all segments of the country in governance, irrespective of the differences. (NAN)
