Zamfara State Governor, Bello Mohammed Matawalle has expressed dissatisfaction over the alleged involvement of politicians working against the restoration of peace in the State.

Governor Matawalle said that politics now in Nigeria has become a do-or-die affair, saying that democracy is supposed to be ”the government of the people by the people.”

The Governor wondered why some people who claim to be the leaders of the masses would turn back and begin to kill, maim and kidnap those they falsely claim to be protecting.

Reacting to the recent attack on NDA, the governor said that no place in Nigeria was safe in the entire Northern region, calling for urgent action to address the ugly trend.

“It is unfortunate if the bandits can go up to NDA and kidnap the officers. I think the government has to look into it and maybe declare a state of emergency on security in the entire northern region.

“Some people have been calling on the government to declare a state of emergency on education and other sectors but the lives of the citizens are more valuable than education.

“I still insist that state of emergency has to be declared first on security so that the security personnel can be mobilised for more purposeful assignments in some parts of the country to deal with these criminals.
