Ahmed Aliyu, the Governor of Sokoto State, has revealed the conversation he had with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu about the state’s security situation.

According to the governor, President Tinubu has assured him that his administration will see an end to banditry and other criminal activities in the state.

Aliyu acknowledged that the president’s directive for the Minister of Defence and military leaders to relocate to Sokoto serves as a clear testament to the government’s dedication to addressing banditry and other criminal activities, not only in Sokoto but throughout the North-West region as a whole.

Aliyu stated this while providing support to the Nigerian Military on Friday to enhance the troops’ capacity to combat banditry in Sokoto State.

The governor, who donated 10 vehicles to the army, said: “When I met Mr President, we extensively discussed the security situation in our dear state, and he assured me of his support towards putting an end to all the security challenges affecting us.

“Mr President has redeemed his pledge by sending the Honourable Minister and service chiefs and Alhamdullahi. We are seeing the results. We thank Mr President most sincerely.”

Aliyu additionally stated that the ten patrol vehicles provided to the military were supplementary to the 100 vehicles previously allocated to security agencies for combating banditry within the state.

He reaffirmed his dedication to supporting the security agencies, emphasizing the importance of collaboration in ensuring the safety of the state.

The governor also pledged to allocate the state’s resources to ensure the protection of the lives and property of its citizens.

“Security is number 1 in my nine-point agenda; therefore, we would do whatever it takes within the ambit of the law to protect our people,”
 he vowed.

The governor also commended the Minister for State, Defence for his commitment to getting the North-West out of the security quagmire.

“The minister has shown resilience and bravery by penetrating what used to be a ‘NO GO AREA’ and had even opened up areas that our people hitherto deserted,”
 he averred.

Aliyu appealed to the people of the state to continue to pray for Mr President to succeed in the task of securing the nation.
