Insecurity: Buhari should heed vibes from Katsina vanguardnews

ANYTIME I hear President Muhammadu Buhari and his courtiers gloat over the administration’s success in providing Nigerians security, I remember Hans Christian Andersen’s classic tale:“Many years ago, there was an emperor who was so very fond of new clothes,” wrote the 19th century Danish author.

The most instructive part of the classic tale is that though the emperor quivered because he suspected that the people were right, he, nevertheless, continued with his naked parade, with the flatterers still holding high an imaginary train that never was because “the procession must go on”. “All the local governments that were taken over by the Boko Haram insurgents in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa have long been recovered and are now occupied by indigenes of these areas that were hitherto forced to seek a living in areas far from their ancestral homes.”

“I don’t know what to tell them. I cannot look at them in the face because we have failed to protect them, contrary to our pledge to ensure the security of lives and property throughout the state. I never expected the behaviour and the attitude of people living in the forests – the bandits – which is worse than that of animals,” the governor moaned.

The National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, Zone A, also waded into the matter. “Enough is enough; save the life of our dear people of Faskari, Dandume, Sabuwa, Batasri and other affected areas. What we want is government’s intervention to stop the killing of innocent people in our dear state, Katsina. The number of orphans and refugees are always increasing and our political office holders have left us alone to face the bandits,” wrote the Assistant Secretary-General, Abubakar Bature.
