APC slams Gov Lawal over security comments

The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Zamfara State has frowned at what it described as the continuous outpouring of comments by Governor Dauda Lawal on the state’s security affairs.

Zamfara State APC Publicity Secretary, Yusuf Idris, in a statement he issued in Gusau on Thursday, described the governor’s comments as unfortunate and uncalled for.

“It is unfortunate for the governor and Chief Security Officer of the state to be saying that he is aware of the movement of every bandit’ kingpin’ and his gang operating in the state.

“Very unfortunately, the governor refused to give an intelligence report to the security agencies fighting the bandits, day and night.

“The APC as a party, we don’t know why the governor continues to overlook the issue of insecurity, giving bandits the chance to continue killing and abducting the innocent citizens,” Idris added.
