Buhari pledges better approach to tackling insecurity, hails Zamfara Gov’s efforts

President Muhammadu Buhari has pledged his administration’s readiness to come up with better approach to security operations in the country.

The President spoke through a special delegation of four Ministers under the leadership of the Minister of Aviation Hadi Sirika who were in Gusau this morning to commiserate with the Government and people of Zamfara State over the abduction of Jangebe school girls.

The delegation also endorsed the peace efforts of Governor Bello Mohammed and the state government.

Senator Sirika said the President is happy with Governor Matawalle over his genuine efforts at finding peace and tranquility in the state.

He said the recent incidence is disheartening and unfortunate.

President Muhammadu Buhari however, noted that the Military leadership is rejigged to improve their output which is going to make a better impact on the security situation in the country.

In his response, Governor Bello Mohammed thanked the President for his concern and said that the people of Zamfara state appreciate his concern and care as a father.

He noted that immediately the incidence happened the President sent in more Military and Police re-enforcement including two Police helicopters.

“Since then, he has asked me to keep in touch with his Chief of Staff whom we have since been in touch over this incidence. We are grateful to this concern and the immediate actions being taken”, Matwalle noted.

He noted the President’s rejigging of the Military leadership but called on him to ensure that they work in synergy to ensure ultimate results.

‘If the Air Force and Army will work independently without synergy, no meaningful result can be achieved in this fight. They must be made to work as an entity. That is how we can make progress’, Matawalle observed.

He promised that his administration is working round the clock to ensure that the GGSS Jangebe students are rescued unscathed.
