From Lawal Sa’idu Funtua, Katsina
A coalition of 43 civil society groups, “save Katsina group” have unanimously kicked against call by some groups and individuals for the resignation of governor Aminu Bello Masari over security situation in the state.
The coordinator of the group, Comrade Hamza Umar Saulawa who stated this while addressing newsmen in Katsina, said it is unfair to blame the governor over deteriorating security in the state.
“Looking at the foregoing realities, it will be unfair and preposterous for anyone to blame governor Masari over insecurity or his call for people to defend themselves”, he stressed.
He added that the governor has less control over the security personnel operating in the state which according to him, “pushed the governor in a difficult position of directing them to act”.
Saulawa similarly commended the governor for providing logistics support to the various security arms working in the state.
The coorditor hailed the courage of the state governor in admonishing people of the state to take up arms to depend themselves against the dreaded bandits.
