Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule stated that anyone who asserts that leaders are indifferent or insufficiently addressing insecurity is being disingenuous.
The governor made this comment while answering questions during an interview on Sunday Politics, a program on Channels Television that was monitored by DAILY POST. He was discussing the results of a meeting between Northern governors and traditional rulers held in Kaduna to tackle security challenges.
He remarked: “This situation will also improve, because if you look closely, it has primarily affected the North East, where Boko Haram has been active.”
“At times, they resort to kidnapping children to use them as human shields during attacks. This crisis has now spread to the North West and North Central regions.”
“There are mornings when I receive calls indicating that everything was fine the previous day from the security agencies, or notifying me of incidents that occurred overnight. We are working on these issues and have successfully secured the release of victims.”
“These are the types of challenges leaders face daily. Thus, anyone who claims that leaders are apathetic or are not doing enough is being misleading.”
“The Northern leaders are striving to make a difference, the Federal Government is committed to its efforts, and we are now asserting that we can achieve even more than we have been able to thus far.”
