rubbish and absolute nonsense.

“Senators in Abuja felt they are
big and mightier. Abuja only they know. They don’t know what is happening in
their states or constituencies. If there is kidnapping, militancy or bomb blast
in their home state they seek refuge in their castles in Abuja.”
Senator Uche Chukumerije and
Senator Kabiru Ibrahim Gaya had accused him of being nonchalant and that he
failed to personally sympathise with the victims’ families.

Governor Kwankwaso called on the
senators and members of the House of Representatives to pay a visit to Kano
like the federal government did and witness events on the ground. He asked the
electorate to ensure that, in the next election, they elect credible senators
unlike the present ones who don’t wish good for the country and the sustenance
of peace and oneness of the nation. “We are working round the clock to ensure
there is peace in Kano State and we shall continue with the good work for the
betterment of the state,” Kwankwaso added.

Moro commended the traditional
rulers, the security initiative of Kwankwaso and his desire to have peace in
the state. He said, “Clearly today is the demonstration of federal government’s
intensified collaborative effort with the state government and the people of
Nigeria to avoid the said wanton destruction of lives and property in the
south.”
