Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, says the Chief of Defence Staff, Christopher Musa has brought peace to Southern Kaduna where ex-Governor Nasir El-Rufai failed.
Sani disclosed this while warning that insecurity in the North is not yet over.
He said bandits were still killing and kidnapping people in the Northern part of the country.
Addressing a press briefing at his residence in Kaduna yesterday, the former lawmaker said the security situation has improved under the administration of President Bola Tinubu.
He said: “The insecurity in the North is not yet over. Bandits are still killing people. They are kidnapping people in Katsina State; they are still doing that in Zamfara State. There are major killings on the roads by bandits.
“But if we are going to compare it to where we are coming from, I think things are better. The Chief of Defence has relatively been able to bring peace to the southern part of Kaduna, which was neglected and abandoned when (former) Governor Nasir El-Rufai was in power.
“We know Birnin Gwari Road: it used to be the road that was inaccessible because of banditry. Banditry happened every hour, not every day, for eight years along Birnin Gwari road.
“Now, people can travel day and night. When last did you hear of an attack since the attack on Kuriga school? When last did you hear of an attack on any school in the state?
“So, for those of us, when you compare the government headed by someone who came from our part of the country and the government headed by someone who is not from our part of the country, I think it is important for those of us from the North to appreciate the relative progress they have made.”
