A prominent figure in the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Katsina State, Hon. Abdulaziz Maituraka, has spoken out against opposition leaders for exploiting security concerns in the state for political gain. During a recent gathering with APC supporters, Maituraka emphasized the unfairness of attributing the state’s security challenges to the current administration, given that these issues predated their tenure.

Maituraka highlighted that security is primarily a federal responsibility, with state governments playing a supportive role. He also noted that the security situation in Katsina has shown improvement compared to previous years. The APC chieftain pointed out that some of the critics were once in government themselves, advising them to refrain from politicizing insecurity. He emphasized that the state government is collaborating with relevant stakeholders to address the situation.

In addition to addressing security concerns, Maituraka urged APC members to obtain their voter cards and actively participate in promoting the party’s policies ahead of upcoming elections. This call to action underscores the importance of civic engagement and party involvement in shaping the state’s future.

The APC chieftain’s comments come as security remains a pressing concern in Katsina State. The state has faced challenges related to banditry and other forms of insecurity, which have affected the lives of citizens and the overall stability of the region. By emphasizing the need for a collaborative approach to addressing security issues, Maituraka’s statement highlights the complexity of the problem and the importance of collective effort in finding solutions.

As the political landscape in Katsina State continues to evolve, the debate over security and governance is likely to remain a key issue. With elections on the horizon, the APC and other political parties will be keen to demonstrate their commitment to addressing the state’s security challenges and promoting the well-being of its citizens. The ongoing discussions and initiatives aimed at improving security in Katsina State will be closely watched by residents and observers alike, as the state seeks to build a more stable and prosperous future.
