Governor Uba Sani has urged Northern leaders to refrain from placing the blame for the region's enduring security challenges on President Bola Tinubu's administration.
During an interactive session at Arewa House in Kaduna on Tuesday, Governor Sani emphasized that attributing the longstanding issues solely to President Tinubu's governance would be misleading.
He pointed out that the roots of insecurity in the North extend beyond mere armed conflict, identifying poverty, illiteracy, and systemic exclusion as fundamental factors contributing to the crisis. “Insecurity is not merely a failure of military power; it stems from years of policy neglect, economic disenfranchisement, and weak governance frameworks,” he stated.
Sani noted that the issues plaguing the region are not new, remarking, “Our challenges did not arise two years ago; they are deeply entrenched and date back decades. It is neither fair nor honest to place the entire burden on President Tinubu.”
The governor called on the region's elite to move beyond mere political rhetoric and to actively participate in fostering peace, inclusion, and development. “Security is a collective responsibility. No single leader can achieve success alone; we must all take ownership of the North’s future,” he asserted.
