I’ll wipe out banditry, terrorists in Kaduna – Tinubu vows
The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has vowed to wipe out bandits and terrorists in Kaduna and other parts of the northern region if elected president in 2023.
Tinubu made this vow during a visit to Birnin Gwari Local Government Area of Kaduna state on Monday.
The presidential candidate of the APC visited Birnin Gwari to sympathize with the people on the incessant bandits’ attacks in the area.
Tinubu also visited the Emir of Birnin Gwari, Mallam Zubairu Maigwari, where he condoled the people of the Emirate over the loss of lives and property as a result of years of attacks by bandits.
He explained that the visit to Birnin Gwari was to have first-hand knowledge of the area and its peculiar security and socioeconomic challenges.
He said, “I stand before you, sir, to say that there is a good opportunity coming. The election is near,” he said, adding that “we serve them notice again that we will not relent in our efforts to eliminate banditry. I can assure you, that will be our priority.”
The Emir of Birnin Gwari commended the APC presidential candidate for braving the odds to visit the volatile community, a gesture he described as uncommon.
