Governor Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara State has condemned the Minister of Interior, Lt. Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazau (Rtd), for blaming insecurity within the state on poor governance.
Dambazau, at an occasion, mentioned: “Good governance is the ultimate answer to the safety challenges in Zamfara, it isn't the variety of troopers.
“It is not good governance for the governor of Zamfara to say he is withdrawing as chief security officer. Even if he is given all the soldiers in the world, he can’t use those forces to deal with those issues.”
Reacting in a assertion on Friday via his spokesperson, Ibrahim Dosara, the governor questioned how the minister would “expose his weakness” in making such a public assertion.
Yari mentioned: “It is totally misleading and insulting to the intelligence of Nigerians to blame a state governor for the failure of security when he has no power and control over the deployment of troops to fight the bandits and protect lives.”
The governor mentioned blaming insecurity on poor governance wouldn't resolve the issue.
He defined that the state authorities spent N600m month-to-month on the cost of allowances and logistics to federal safety businesses, including that it had to date spent over N15bn.
