The Executive Governor of Katsina state, Aminu Masari has stated that declaring a state of emergency on the nation’s rising insecurity will not address the current challenges.<\/p>\n

Recall that the house of representatives on Tuesday asked President Muhammadu Buhari to declare a state of emergency over insecurity.<\/p>\n

This statement was made by the Katsina state governor while\u00a0speaking on the development on Thursday after meeting with Ibrahim Gambari, chief of staff, at the presidential villa.<\/p>\n

Masari noted that declaring a state of emergency will overstretch the efforts of security agencies.<\/p>\n

The governor urged Nigerians to view the security challenges beyond partisan politics, adding that it is a national concern.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt cannot, because how can state of emergency solve the problem? You have a situation where the military are in all the states of the federation<\/a>, then you ask yourself, how many do we have? Are we not overstretching them?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, the reality is that the responsibility of securing this country is ours \u2014 all of us. We have a role to play, and we must play it for the sake of the country and for the sake of our children and grandchildren, not for the sake of the persons that are in office.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we have to understand that whatever we do to restore security today, we are not doing it for one particular person or group of persons, but we are doing it for all of us, for the country and in fact, for Africa. A stable Nigeria means a stable sub-Saharan Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, I think we better be serious about this issue of security. If you say set up state of emergency, what do you do? We have the same people, the same security agencies, the same capacities, and the same resources. So, what are we talking about?<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a problem that everybody has a role to play; we better play it. The security situation of this country is beyond partisan politics. It\u2019s a national concern for all of us \u2014 every responsible person in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked about the state of security in his state, he said the situation is improving.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re hopeful that working together with the security agencies and the responsible people and also the repentant bandits, we\u2019ll be able to have our state back to normalcy,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
