Insecurity: Emir of Katsina laments about 'this kind of country', sends Minister to Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari’s agriculture sector initiatives may yield no success if the insecurity devastating Nigeria’s northwest persists, the Emir of Katsina, Abdulmumini Usman, suggested on Monday.

But the Emir seized the moment to lament the level of insecurity in the region, which appears to be deteriorated as the so-called bandits continue to kidnap and kill from Abuja-Kaduna highway to rural communities across the northwest. Speaking to the visiting minister, he said: “Tell the president that we have to take care of our people, security first. All these programmes, as good as they are, cannot be without security. Security is first and fundamental.

Although there is an ongoing military operation to restore calm in the northwest, the region has remained troubled. Daily Trust had previously reported that Nigerians in Katsina were fleeing to the neighbouring Niger Republic to escape the persistent attacks. In the past week, federal lawmakers in both the Senate and House of Representatives lamented the worsening insecurity in the region. Between April 11 and last Thursday, the Reps twice summoned Mr Buhari over the crisis.

MBuhari Mr Emir should know that the IGP has lost weight and that’s the only thing that matters

SafiyanFreeman MBuhari It's too early to cry. It's pay back time. Multitudes of Alimajiris, abandoned and uncared for since Independence has now exchanged their beggar bowls for Ak-47s. AWOLOWO cried for today, he was labelled then as an ethnic bigot. Now, the chicken has come home to roost.

MBuhari This is why tribalism & ethnocentrism should not be allowed to becloud a leader's sense of judgement, especially traditional rulers. It is sad that the present crop of traditional rulers cannot judge rightly and openly censure their own. Evil prevails when Emirs hail mediocrity

MBuhari EmirOfKatsina there is an Igbo addage that says that an elder cannot stay in the house when a goat tied to a stake delivers. Emir you campaigned for an incompetent government in the last election despite the security challenge facing Nigeria. Why cry now? Even Daura is POROUS

MBuhari Sai 'Nes Lebu'....... Sai Buhari....una never sabi

MBuhari If only the president would listen and understand.

MBuhari MBuhari should teach the youths in the region to live within their means.
