The immediate past governor of
Kano State and presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has said that he has the solution to
the spate of insecurity ravaging the country.
Kwankwaso was speaking in Lokoja,
the Kogi State capital, on Wednesday shortly after meeting with PDP delegates
in continuation of his consultations with party members in a bid to realise his
presidential ambition.
He pointed out that the
experience he gathered over the years as minister in charge of Police affairs
and a Defence, has equipped him with the knowledge needed to address the
security challenges in the country.
Kwankwaso, a serving senator,
said that for anyone to sufficiently address the security challenges in the
country, he must first identify the different types of insecurities such as
food shortages, poor health facilities, poor infrastructure all of which
contributed to the security challenges.
According to him, poor roads were
often referred to as “death traps”, just as food insecurity leads to hunger and
starvation with the attendant crimes, while poorly equipped hospitals leads to
avoidable deaths.
“So for anyone to sufficiently
address the security challenges, he must address all these and the security
situations will improve dramatically,” he said.
Senator Kwankwaso also said that
he had no problems with restructuring as long as it represented the view of
majority of Nigerians.
“When people asked me what I
think about restructuring, I also asked them the type of restructuring they
meant. Is it the type where we go back to the old regional system of
government?” he asked
The presidential hopeful said
that if eventually elected, he will convene a meeting with all relevant
stakeholders to determine the type of restructuring the country needs.
