A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Kano State, Musa Ilyasu Kwankwaso, on Thursday called on politicians to stop politicizing the fight against insecurity in the country.
Ilyasu Kwankwaso made the call in Kano while addressing newsmen on political developments in the country.
Speaking on the fight against insecurity in the country by the Federal Government, Kwankwaso praised the efforts of the ministry of Defense. He expressed his support for the military relocation to Sokoto.
Kwankwaso, however, expressed sadness over the actions of some political jobbers engaged in causing rift in the country. He frowned at the rift between the former Zamfara State Governor, Bello Matawalle and the member representing Birnin Magaji/Kauran Namoda Federal Constituency Aminu Sani Jaji.
Kwankwaso also commended the Minister of Defence, Matawalle for his effort in tackling the insecurity in the North. He praised him for announcing a N20 million rewards to anyone who offers useful information that would lead to the arrest of the bandits.
“Initially people were condemning the Defense Ministry for inaction. And now that steps have been taken for the fight against the terrorists the same people are condemning the ministry. This is very hypocritical.
“Those engaging in this act are beneficiaries of the terrorism that is killing our people out there. That is why they have turned the matter into politics.
“People are being killed by these terrorists, and the situation had gone bad. Now that the ministry has taken steps towards dealing with the situation, to the extent that about 80 terrorists have been killed yesterday. Why would any right thinking person come out to condemn the action?
“I want to call on our people to please join hands together and support the efforts of the government in this fight against terrorism put in place by President Bola Tinubu.
“We should support the efforts of the Defense Ministry as well as the military to achieve the needful” he appealed.
Kwankwaso called on Northerners to desist from the act of attacking themselves and setting themselves back unnecessarily.
The APC Chieftain further alleged that those condemning these giant steps “are only interested in blackmailing the President. Painting him black so that they achieve their political interest in 2027. This is not in the interest of the nation” he added.
