Senator Barau I. Jibrin, the deputy president of the Senate, has urged Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf to quit using security concerns as a political football and instead concentrate on finding solutions to the state’s difficulties.

Senator Barau was responding to statements made following the 34th Executive Council Meeting by the Kano State Government. One of his remarks was accused by the government of undermining current security initiatives. Barau denied those accusations and emphasized that everyone must work together to combat the nation’s insecurity, which includes bandit attacks in some areas of Kano.

The senator rejected the charge and urged the administration to provide proof in a statement issued by his media assistant, Ismail Mudashir.

He said: “The attention of the media office of the Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau I Jibrin, CFR, FCNA, has been drawn to false, reckless and malicious claims by the Kano State Government… that His Excellency… made a statement capable of undermining the security efforts in the state.”

He added: “I is unfortunate that the state government has relegated governance to this low by concocting and fabricating lies to tarnish the growing reputation of the Deputy President of the Senate. There was no time when Senator Barau uttered any statement capable of undermining security efforts.”

Barau stated that he has consistently addressed insecurity in Kano and throughout Nigeria by collaborating with pertinent parties. He continued by criticizing the government once more, stating, “We challenge them to produce the clip in which the Deputy President of the Senate made any statement that could undermine security efforts.”

Governor Yusuf was urged to take administration more seriously by the senator, who also serves as the ECOWAS Parliament’s First Deputy Speaker.

He said, “Until governance was relegated to the background, our beloved state, Kano, used to be a very close second to Lagos in terms of prosperity, but unfortunately, misgovernance has eroded this.”

If the correct choices are made, he continued, Kano might regain its former splendor, noting, “We have everything necessary to restore the glorious days of our state, but the governor is not taking steps in that direction.”

Barau also mentioned a number of security initiatives he has backed in the state.

In addition to building police stations in various locations and renovating portions of the state police headquarters, he has sent cars to police formations and motorcycles for personnel in Kano North. Additionally, he has provided assistance to Kano’s Department of State Services (DSS).

According to the statement, “The Deputy President of the Senate has also facilitated the establishment of the training college of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Gwarzo, the Nigeria Police Service Commission training institute in Kabo, and the Nigeria Immigration Service training school in Bichi.”

In order to assist security services in conducting nighttime patrols, he also erected solar lamps in other areas.

Instead of criticizing Senator Barau’s character, the statement concluded that he has made “significant contributions” to enhancing security in Kano and urged the state administration to do the same.
