It’s not ‘proper’ for Katsina people to give Buhari the highest votes and still be killed by bandits- Aisha

Wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, Aisha Buhari, on Saturday implored the security agencies in the country on the need to find a quick solution to insecurity ravaging some parts of the country.

Mrs Buhari made the call on Saturday in Katsina State while distributing relief materials to over 25,000 victims of bandits’ attacks.

“The security agencies should either assist to take action or allow the situation to continue until bandits finished killing our people,” she said.

She also implored stakeholders in the country to continue talking about concerned issues in the country in order to elicit the needed actions.

“We are not supposed to be here giving rice, milk and other items to victims of an incident during Ramadan period.

“We should not keep silent while things are happening, thinking that if something happens today, it will not happen tomorrow,

“What happened today, will happen tomorrow, it will also happen next tomorrow if we keep silent.

“It is compulsory to speak the truth, it is not proper for us to give the highest number of votes during the general elections and allow bandits to continue killing people and keep quiet.

“We must speak on whatever is going wrong in the country,” she said.

Mrs Buhari said that she and the wives of former governors of Nasarawa, Bayelsa, Adamawa, Akwa Ibom (Sen. Godswill Akpabio), were among those who donated the relief materials to the victims.

Meanwhile, the District Head of Katsina, Alhaji Aminu Abdulmumini, has thanked the President’s wife for the gesture.
