Senator Shehu Sani, a former lawmaker, expressed concerns on Wednesday that northern leaders are not taking the security concerns of the region seriously.
His statement came after reports of bandits killing 30 farmers in Zamfara and 50 farmers in Plateau State.
Sani noted that 12 governors were absent from the Northern Governors Forum meeting in April, indicating a lack of commitment to addressing the region’s security issues.
He said: “Last week Bandits killed 30 farmers in Zamfara and this week terrorists slaughtered 50 farmers in Plateau State. In the last Northern Governors meeting held in April,12 Governors were absent. The leaders in the region are not serious about addressing the security concerns of the region.”
