Worried about the spate of attacks by gunmen and terrorists in the State ,Group under umbrella of Kaduna Development Support Forum(KDSF) has expressed strong conviction that Senator Shehu Sani can provide the requisite strategies and technologies that help secure lives and properties of the citizens.
The group also said the former Federal lawmaker, who represented Kaduna Central Senatorial zone in the 8th Senate has demonstrated avowed commitment within and outside government that he could be the trusted leader who has the capacity to provide strategic security measures to ensure that lives and properties of citizens are adequately protected if elected Governor of Kaduna State .
The Coordinator of the Group, Abdulhakeem Hameed Alao in a press statement made available to journalists said ," The situation where all citizens and residents can no longer sleep with two eyes closed due to incessant banditry and terrorism attacks and failure on side of government to provide security is not only unfortunate ,but grossly pathetic .
"This is why we have decided to come strongly to recommend ND support Senator Shehu Sani as the only viable voice that fought; spoke and advised the federal government on the best security strategies to adopt to contain the insecurity challenges while in the Senate .
But it appeared the current government both at State and Federal levels have been unable to adopt the requisite strategy and proactive measures to tackle the overwhelming fire power of gunmen terrorising Kaduna and other States of the federation .
While condemning in strong terms what they described as "Dastardly acts" of the gunmen who attacked the Airport, Train and Major highways in Kaduna recently ,the group however noted that the recent attacks in Giwa , Southern Kaduna and other parts of the State could have be contained if the right security strategy and approach were deployed to prevent them.
"You can't afford to handle heinous crimes with kid gloves .There must a combined and coordinated forces from all security agencies to stop the attackers.
" It now obvious that there is a dire need to adopt grassroots intelligence gathering measures and involve traditional leaders a across the 23 local government areas to provide information about suspected criminals within communities.
" No doubt these so called gunmen or terrorists reside in communities and spend the ransoms collected from their victims in the same communities .
"But when a government is bereft of ideas on how to tackle the overwhelming security challenge , the consequence is the frequent attacks, kidnapping and killing of innocent citizens" .
"We are mobilizing over one million Kaduna women and youths to vote senator Shehu Sani during the 2023 governorship elections for a guaranteed security and dividends of democracy."
