Former Governor of Sokoto State and Senator representing Sokoto South Senatorial District, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to prioritise addressing Nigeria’s worsening insecurity, warning that sustainable development cannot thrive in an atmosphere of fear and violence.
Tambuwal made the call on Thursday during a sympathy visit to communities in Bodinga Local Government Area of Sokoto State affected by recent bandit attacks, where he met with victims and displaced families.
He expressed concern over the persistent insecurity in Sokoto State and other parts of the country, describing the attacks as a national tragedy requiring urgent government intervention.
Addressing residents, community leaders and displaced persons, Tambuwal said the protection of lives and property remains the government’s primary constitutional responsibility and should take precedence over political activities.
