The Zamfara State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called on Northern Nigeria’s elites and key stakeholders to form a regional security committee to tackle the escalating insecurity in the region.
The appeal was made on Friday in Gusau by the PDP Publicity Secretary, Haliru Andi.
He recommended that Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, should head the committee, noting his recent position paper on insecurity presented at the Northern Governors’ Forum and the Northern Emirs meeting in Kaduna.
Andi said the committee would unite Northern leaders, including governors, traditional rulers, youth and women organizations, and civil society groups, to develop strategies aimed at reducing banditry and other criminal activities.
“Governor Lawal’s experience and policies in tackling insecurity in Zamfara make him suitable to spearhead this initiative,” he said, adding that the committee could chart a new course in the fight against crime in the region.
