A former Sokoto State Governor and Senator representing Sokoto South, Aminu Tambuwal, has met with the Minister of Defence, Gen. Christopher Musa (retd.), over the worsening security situation in parts of the state.

Tambuwal, who was accompanied by the member representing the Kebbe/Tambuwal Federal Constituency and Deputy Minority Leader, House of Representatives, Abdussamad Dasuki, particularly raised concerns over insecurity in Kebbe Local Government Area and Kaya community in Tambuwal LGA.

The meeting, according to Tambuwal, was aimed at seeking stronger federal intervention and additional security resources to protect communities affected by persistent attacks and restore residents’ confidence.

In a statement posted on his X account on Thursday, the former governor said the delegation used the meeting to convey the concerns of residents directly to the minister.
