President Muhammadu Buhari has assured that his
administration won’t neglect any State in its drive to tackle insecurity and
socio-economic challenges.
Buhari, who spoke through his spokesman, Garba Shehu, was
reacting to Tuesday’s Senate resolution calling on the Federal Government to
include Niger, Zamfara, Kaduna, Sokoto and Kebbi States in the military
operations against bandits, NAN reports.
The President had recently authorised a major military
operation against bandits and kidnappers in Katsina State.
However, a statement by Shehu on Tuesday assured that
Buhari’s government won’t allow any State to suffer discrimination in dealing
with issues of insecurity on account of political differences.
The statement reads partly: “While today’s Senate resolution
is perfectly in order, it is important to state that in his duty as
Commander-in-Chief, President Muhammadu Buhari has already approved the
commencement of this operation.
“Beyond this announcement, no other details concerning the
mode, scope, timings and other essentials will be revealed so as not to
compromise its success.
“It is, however, important to outline the fact the all the
states of the federation are equal and important before the President.
“None has suffered any discrimination up to this point, and
none will be made to suffer any such discrimination in dealing with security
and all other matters on account on their political differences with the
government at the centre.”
