Emir of Katsina, Alhaji Abdulmuminu Kabir Usman, Thursday, urged President Bola Tinubu to ensure the protection of lives and property of the people of the North in order to achieve a peaceful 2027 general elections.
The emir delivered the message through the Director General of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APC-PCC), Senator Abdulaziz Yari, during a courtesy call on the emir Wednesday night.
“Go and tell him (Tinubu) to safeguard the lives and property of our people before seeking our votes,” the emir said.
He added that the rampart activities of banditry, and kidnapping had resulted in the killing and destruction of properties of thousands of innocent citizens in the northern part of the country.
The emir said democracy is not madness and politicians and leaders need to fear Almighty Allah and discharge their duties accordingly, especially in the areas of protecting lives and property of all citizens.
He said: “Yari, you are on board now. Go and tell him and anyone that, we are prevented from doing our farming in the North West and all our factories and major companies are not functioning.”
Continuing, he said: “We are seeing castigation, blackmail, wrongful imprisonment, collection and destruction of wealth, property and prosperity of opposition candidates in today’s democracy, which is wrong.”
