Despite supporting the removal of the subsidy on petrol, the former senator said things are tough for Nigerians.
, Kabiru Marafa said successive governors in the state did not reveal the true state of insecurity in the state to avoid indicting themselves.
Terrorists, locally called bandits, have ravaged communities in Zamfara and most states in the North - west of over a decade in perhaps the biggest kidnap-for-ransom franchise in the country's history. Mr Marafa, who lost his bid to return to the senate during the 2023 general elections, however, said revealing how deeply insecure the state is would have helped in solving the crisis.
"Because for whatever reason, they think bringing the issue to the front burner is like an indictment to them or a failure on their part. Whereas to me, I think bringing it out and letting everybody know what we are going through will be key to the solutions to the problem," Mr Marafa said.Mr Marafa, who supported the removal of the fuel subsidy by President Tinubu, said the decision is making things hard for Nigerians.
