Dr. Sani Abdullahi Shinkafi Urges Unity Among Politicians and Influential Leaders to Combat Insecurity in Zamfara State

From Gusau, Zamfara State – In a passionate appeal during a press conference yesterday, Dr. Sani Abdullahi Shinkafi called on politicians, traditional rulers, and other influential individuals in Zamfara State to set aside their differences and join forces to tackle the growing insecurity in the region.

Speaking at the event held in Gusau, Dr. Shinkafi emphasized that the rising wave of banditry, kidnappings, and other forms of violence plaguing Zamfara State cannot be effectively addressed without a united front. He urged all stakeholders to prioritize the safety and well-being of the people above political or personal interests.

“The insecurity in Zamfara State has reached alarming levels, and it is high time we come together as one. Politicians, traditional leaders, and all individuals with influence must collaborate to find lasting solutions. This is not the time for division or blame games,” he stated.

Dr. Shinkafi highlighted the need for a comprehensive strategy that involves both government efforts and grassroots participation. According to him, security agencies must be adequately supported, while community-based initiatives should be encouraged to foster cooperation between citizens and law enforcement.

“Our communities are suffering, and families are being torn apart. We cannot afford to sit idly by while this menace continues. Let us unite, regardless of our political affiliations or differences, and work hand in hand to restore peace and security in our beloved state,” he added.

The press conference drew attention to the critical role of collaboration in overcoming the challenges posed by insecurity. Dr. Shinkafi called on state and federal governments to enhance their support for Zamfara by deploying more security personnel and providing resources to tackle the crisis.

He also commended the efforts of community leaders and security agencies who have been working tirelessly to address the issues but noted that their work requires reinforcement through collective action and proper funding.

As Zamfara State continues to grapple with insecurity, Dr. Shinkafi’s call for unity resonates as a timely reminder that solving the crisis requires a shared commitment from all stakeholders.

The event concluded with an appeal for prayers and a pledge from Dr. Shinkafi to continue advocating for peace and stability in Zamfara State.
