Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal has lamented that President Bola Tinubu has not been properly briefed on the security situation in the state. Speaking on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily on Tuesday, the governor noted that there is a political undertone regarding the security issue in the state.
The governor explained that if the government is committed, banditry could be eradicated in a few weeks. He said: “Sometimes, when you’re really helpless, when you need them , they are not there. Even when they are there, they are given certain instructions on what to do and not what to do. “Within just two weeks , we can battle the situation but the political will is not there. We know who they are. We know where they live. It’s just that there is no political will.
“If we are committed, if we are serious, we can take care of this situation within two weeks maximum. But the political will is not there.' The governor said he does not have control over the military, police or personnel of the civil defense. According to him, such a situation had rendered his government helpless in suppressing the operations of bandits in Zamfara. “In most cases, you get frustrated in terms of where you get help from.
