Katsina Emir Urges APC to Address Community Insecurity

Emir Abdulmumini Usman of Katsina has delivered a critical message to the APC presidential campaign council, urging them to recognize the severe insecurity impacting local communities. He emphasized that the royal blessings should not overshadow the pressing realities of violence, which has led to farmers and herders abandoning their livelihoods due to killings and kidnappings.

The emir's previous interventions, particularly his 2019 warnings, reflect the deep frustration within communities that continue to grapple with fear, which hampers economic activity and social stability. The emir's message serves as a reminder that political loyalty cannot substitute for the essential need for public safety.

The APC presidential campaign council faces the challenge of whether to heed this counsel or dismiss it as mere political niceties during their consultations.
