Abdullahi Ganduje, governor of Kano state, has urged politicians to refrain from making comments that could scuttle the federal government’s efforts at securing the country.
Ganduje expressed support for the government’s no-fly zone order in Zamfara state, describing it as a well-thought-out strategy.
The governor spoke through Muhammed Garba, the Kano commissioner for information, in a statement on Saturday.
“Politicians should at least wait and see how the strategy works before making comments that are capable of undermining the efforts of our security services to keep the country safe,” he said.
The governor also said the no-fly order would aid in tackling suspected logistics supply and evacuation of the nation’s natural resources particularly gold.
“The issues of security should be beyond partisan considerations. I do not see anything political in declaring the no-fly zone in Zamfara State,” he said.
“It is purely based on security and intelligence reports that there are suspicious criminal activities going on there.”
Ganduje said the country requires joint efforts by stakeholders to tackle kidnappings, insurgency and banditry.
He also advocated for a synergy between states and the federal government to prevent the fragile security situation from spiralling out of control.
