Hon. Muhammad Isa Ashiru was the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2019 general election for Kaduna State. He also represented Kudan constituency and Makarfi/ Kudan federal constituency for 16 years in the House of Representatives. In this interview with ISAIAH BENJAMIN, he speaks on the security crisis in Kaduna State and other national issues.
Kaduna has been in the news in recent times for unpleasant reasons par- ticularly in the area of insecurity, how worried are you over what is go- ing on in the state? These criminals had the effrontery to insist that money must be brought before the old man could be released. So the villagers went and sold their farmland and generated three million na- ira before he was released. He was almost in a state of coma. Go to Jama’a local government around the flour mill in Zikpak, the bandits stormed that place shooting sporadically, so anybody can be targeted.
Apart from village heads, there are district heads, ward heads and who have people under them that assist in getting information. We must go back to this kind of arrangement. We also have pressure groups in the society. Whether you like it or not, you must bring them on board. We have the political class, so you have to create the kind of situation where all these groups will be brought under one umbrella to discuss because they are there.
Kaduna State PDP has been faced with crises and court cases. Are you not worried that it will af- fect the party’s quest for power in 2023?
