Bello Matawalle, governor of Zamfara state, says President
Muhammadu Buhari has assured that he will put an end to insecurity in the north
and return the region’s lost glory.
He said northern governors are committed to supporting the
president’s efforts to end security challenges in the country.
Matawalle appealed to elites and other politicians,
especially from northern Nigeria, to be united and face the challenges
bedevilling the region’s growth and progress.
He urged northerners to support the government in looking
for lasting solutions to poverty, banditry, and kidnapping.
Matawalle said during a meeting with the president,
governors from northern states took turns to table their experiences,
expectations from the government, and efforts at finding lasting solutions.
“The president assured that he will put an end to the menace
and return the region and the country at large to its lost glories,” he said.
“It is time for us to end destructions and killings, lets
nurture the habits of forgiveness of our wrongs, refrain from divisive
tendencies and become united.
“We shall remain
focused for the development of the nation and shun political differences
irrespective of the party we belong.”
Matawalle appealed to leaders to continue rubbing minds
toward proper solutions and developmental path of progress of the nation.
“Leaders must deliberate on solutions, refrain from selfish
interests and greed to end unwanted killings and destruction of property,” he
said.
“Insurgency, especially in the northeast and other banditry
activities, have hindered economic activities, education, agriculture and other
social activities in northern Nigeria.”
