Zamfara PDP urges formation of Northern security committee to combat banditry
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Zamfara State has urged Northern Nigeria’s elite and stakeholders to establish a regional security committee to address rising insecurity.
Haliru Andi, the PDP Publicity Secretary in Zamfara, made the call on Friday in Gusau, the state capital.
He proposed that Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State lead the committee, citing his recent position paper on insecurity presented at the Northern Governors’ Forum and 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.
