The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau Jibrin, has urged Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State to refrain from politicising the challenges of insecurity and instead focus on addressing the numerous problems bedevilling the state under his watch.

Responding to the state government’s allegation that his statement could undermine ongoing security efforts in the state, Barau stated that the country’s insecurity challenges, including the incursion into parts of the state by marauding bandits, require the collaboration and support of all stakeholders to address them.

Jibrin, in a statement by his media aide, Ismail Mudashir, faulted the state government’s claims and challenged them to produce the clip in which he made a statement that could aggravate insecurity in the state.

Jibrin described the claims by the state Commissioner for Information, Ibrahim Abdullahi Waiya, as false, reckless, and malicious, stating that he made a statement capable of undermining the state’s security efforts.
