Sultan of Sokoto Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar has urged North’s governors to speed up their plans to end insecurity in the region.

The Sultan who is the Chairman of the Northern Traditional Ruler Council, said: “I would like to condole with our people who have suffered from this insecurity in Katsina, Niger, and other parts of the north and to also commend our northern Governors who went to different places to condole or to stand in for the people of the north.

“You where physically in areas like Ondo state, Oyo state, and in Niger state. I would like to commend you for that show of patriotism to our people and ask you to do more because all eyes are on you as the political leaders of this great north.

“Our coming together has always provided us with an opportunity to interact on issues that affect our people and our region. You know there have been many problems and people outside there would not know what the governors were doing.

“It is easy to destroy but very difficult to build and destruction has been going on for years and for decades things have been going bad and they were not arrested. Now the governors are trying to build, it will take time, but the people must be patient. But people are asking how long should we have to be patient. I know people are in a hurry, so the governors too must be in a hurry to do their best.

“Our own is to continue to encourage them, pray for them, partner with them, we are not competitors. We are here to encourage you and we will continue to do that,” Sultam said.

Speaking for the Northern Elders Forum (NEF), its spokesman, Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, appealed to the governors to stop fighting publicly, as they are leaders and elders and their public quarrels over the insecurity, do not nothing but send panic to the citizens.
