Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano State has called on the Federal Government to tackle the insurgency in the country.
Kwankwaso, who is also an APC Presidential aspirant, made the call on Wednesday when he visited Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State in Ibadan.
He described last week bomb blast at the Central Mosque, Kano, as unfortunate.
“The Federal Government must brace up to tackle the insurgents, who are attacking and killing innocent Nigerians every day,” he said.
The governor, who said that his administration had been doing a lot to tackle insecurity, stressed the need for more concerted efforts to defeat the insurgents.
“When I was sworn in 2011, I did a lot to support security in the state.
“You know security is not only about Police, State Security Service and other agencies, but there is job, food and health security too,’’ he said.
He promised that if voted as the president of the country in 2015, the he would ensure that Boko Haram phenomenon becomes a thing of the past.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the aspirant was in Ibadan to meet with the South-West delegates ahead of the party’s congress on Dec.10.
Kwankwaso will contest the party’s primaries with Gen. Mohammadu Buhari (rtd.), former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar and Gov. Rochas Okorocha of Imo, among others.
