Kwankwaso, also the National Leader of New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) stated this when he spoke with newsmen shortly after the NNPP National Executive Committee meeting in Abuja.

He emphasized that while the Federal Government bore the primary responsibility for tackling the security challenge, Nigerians also had a vital role to play by providing crucial information to security agencies.

“As former Minister of Defence, a former Chief Security Officer of Kano State for eight years, somebody who has gone around and well exposed in this game of politics, I believe that tackling security challenge is now on the shoulders of the federal government.

“We have seen states forming some security outfits. Sometimes you laugh. The level at which it is today is at the level of Nigerian military and anything short of that wouldn’t work.

“And everybody must work together to make sure there is peace in this country.

“Some of us who are from the villages and even towns can remember how our people were going to farms. Now people cannot go to the farm. They are also being chased from their villages and towns.

“Our children are daily abused and taken away by criminals and bandits in hundreds,“ he said.

Kwankwaso, who is also the 2023 presidential candidate for the NNPP, asserted that his party possessed the solution to address not only the mentioned problem but also other challenges confronting the nation, provided Nigerians grant them the opportunity.

He noted that the NNPP was the only hope for Nigerians, saying that the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had failed the people.
