Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara State, has noted that some politicians in Nigeria are responsible for insecurity crisis in the country.
Insecurity in Zamfara in the recent weeks has surged as Some Unknown Gunmen killed scores of people in Maradun Local Government Area of Zamfara state, the home town of the state governor, Hon. Bello Mohammed Matawalle.
Control TV gathered that no fewer than 50 citizens of the community lost their lives during the attacks
Reacting, Matawalle stated on Tuesday when he spoke at the Special Army Super Camp 4 in Faskari town.
According to matawalle, we, the politicians, are to be blame for the intractable security challenges bedevilling our communities,” he noted.
Matawalle said that it has become evident that some politicians exploit insecurity for political gains and urged the military to fish out such unscrupulous politicians.
“They will hardly commend the military for the successes at the battlefronts, however, they will be eager to rush to the media to report attacks by bandits or other miscreants.
“For this crop of politicians, politics is not about genuine commitment to the wellbeing of the people; it is all about power and nothing more.
“I, therefore, urge the security agencies to deal decisively with anyone found politicising security no matter how highly placed he is.
“It is by so doing that we can significantly address the current security challenge confronting not just the North-West, but the entire federation,” he said.
Matawalle urged patriotic Nigerians to support efforts in ending the current security challenges, stressing that security should be everyone’s concern, not just the responsibility of the President, governors, service chiefs and security agencies.
