Katsina State has been a hotbed for banditry and other forms of insecurity.
Katsina State Governor, Aminu Masari, has said it is a difficult time to be a governor considering the security challenges in his state, and indeed in the country.
Masari said contrary to what many think that governors are enjoying, they have been having sleepless nights and their phones close to them to receive emergency reports. Many residents have been killed while many including pupils have kidnapped by bandits for ransom. Masari said, “In this difficult time and uncertainty, all the issues of governance have been dominated by security matters from sunset to dawn. I receive security reports at any moment through many channels daily. No sensible leader who has the feelings of his people at heart will be happy in such a situation."In this kind of situation, we are having sleepless nights.
“People misunderstood us as people enjoying themselves. Some people are just assuming things and we must not assume what we think is right because if someone is not in the system, he cannot understand the situation," he added.
