Aminu Masari, Governor of Katsina State has blamed the increasing attacks by bandits in the northern part of Nigeria on “enemies of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC).
Speaking at an interactive meeting with ward and local government chairmen of the APC in the State on Sunday, Governor Masari warned his party members to be vigilant.
He alleged that the astuteness of the criminal bandits in the use of guns to eliminate soldiers is an indication that they are being sponsored by politicians who have interest in the 2023 presidency.
“They are saying we dislodged PDP administration because of insecurity, so they want to make use of insecurity to also send APC away, that is why all APC should be vigilant,” said the governor.
“Most of the bandits and Boko Haram attacks facing the northern part of the country are sponsored by some politicians who are enemies of the present APC government at both federal and state.
“During the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan, there were multiple bombs in Maiduguri, Kano and even Abuja.
“The Kano bombing then killed more than 500 people. Mosques, churches and roads were closed due to insecurity but today, God has prevented us from such insecurity but we have forgotten.
“Today, politicians who are willing or intending to contest 2023 elections are sponsoring banditry because the way the bandits mastered how to operate guns and by how they specialised in ambushing soldiers, we should know that there is someone behind it.”
