Katsina Emir Urges Tinubu to Ensure Security for 2027 Elections

On Thursday, the Emir of Katsina, Alhaji Abdulmuminu Kabir Usman, called on President Bola Tinubu to ensure the protection of lives and property in the North to facilitate peaceful general elections in 2027. This message was conveyed through Senator Abdulaziz Yari, the Director General of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, during a courtesy visit to the emir on Wednesday night.

The emir expressed concern over rampant banditry and kidnapping, which have led to the deaths and destruction of properties of many innocent citizens in the northern region. He emphasized that democracy should not be chaotic and urged politicians to fear Almighty Allah and fulfill their responsibilities, particularly in safeguarding citizens' lives and properties.

The emir also pointed out that the ongoing violence has hindered farming activities in the North West and disrupted the operations of factories and major companies.
