The presidential candidate of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has unveiled his plan to
halt the escalating banditry in Zamfara state.
According to him, he will send a
combined detachment of 30,000 military and police personnel to flush out the
bandits who have worsened the security situation in the state, within the first
30 days of his swearing-in as President in 2019.
Atiku, who made this promise on Friday
in a video he posted on Twitter, slammed President Muhammadu Buhari for
deploying huge number of security operatives to Osun and Ekiti States to grab
power for his political party but unable to do same to secure the lives and
property of Zamfarans.
He said: “I am following all you
(Zamfarans) have been going through in the hands of bandits who steal, kill and
destroy your properties.
“I am contesting for the office
of the president of Nigeria. I am assuring you that if you, the good people of
Zamfara, elect me as President on February 16, 2019 within a month of my
swearing-in, I will send a combined force of 30,000 soldiers and policemen to
stay in Zamfara and make sure that the bandits you see today, you will see no
more.
“When election took place in
Ekiti and Osun states, President Buhari sent 30,000 policemen there. I want to
assure you that it is more important for me to secure your lives and properties
than for me to secure political power for my party.”
