2023: Shehu Sani Warns Buhari Against Retiring To Katsina After His Tenure

Former federal legislator Shehu Sani has advised President Muhammadu Buhari against retiring to Daura, Katsina State, at the end of his term.

According to sources, the former congressman is concerned about the current state of instability in the state, which has resulted in the deaths of over 1,192 people and the kidnapping of over 3,000 others.

When President Buhari’s eight years in government come to an end in the next 16 months, he has expressed his wish to retire to his farm in Daura.

The wave of insecurity in the North West, on the other hand, has continued unabated, with more kidnappings for ransom and deaths than ever before.

“That bandits killed 1,192 and kidnapped over three thousand in Kaduna last year alone, outpaced the number of people killed and abducted in Yemen and Libya,” the former lawmaker, who represented Kaduna central senatorial district in the ninth National Assembly, tweeted.

“If this is the State the President wants to retire and settle, he must secure it first,” he cautioned.

On Wednesday night, suspected bandits killed a village chief, Alhaji Jafaru Rabi’u, and abducted a yet-to-be-identified lady at Daddara Liman, Jibia Local Government Area of Katsina State, according to a report from the state.

According to Mallam Yunusa, a local citizen, the terrorists also killed four other persons in the adjoining Daddara hamlet, which is part of the same Council.

As the locals fled for safety, the robbers plundered many household items, according to the report.
