SECURITY FIRST : NIGER PDP GOVERNORSHIP CANDIDATE VOWS TO END BANDITRY
The Governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for the forthcoming 2027 general election in Niger State, Muhammad Mamman Nami, has expressed his readiness to liaise with relevant security agencies to end banditry in the state.
He noted that prevailing insecurity and related challenges pose a severe threat to the growth and development of Niger State, promising to tackle them if elected.
Nami gave this assurance through the Director-General of his Gubernatorial Campaign Committee, Gambo Ladan, while addressing journalists recently in Bida Local Government Area.
Ladan described the ongoing insecurity orchestrated by bandits as unfortunate. He condemned the Bago administration for a perceived lack of focus and poor management of the security situation, particularly in the Niger North and parts of the Niger East Senatorial Districts.
Ladan pointed out that the lack of administrative and logistical support for security agencies is a major reason for the prolonged insecurity in the state.
However, he assured Nigerlites that a Nami administration, if voted into power, will prioritise restoring peace and security, stressing that meaningful development can only thrive in an environment where lives and property are adequately protected.
He maintained that the incoming administration would create a rapid-response mechanism to ensure that an attack on any community is treated as an attack on the entire state. The campaign Director-General also pledged that Nami will work closely with security agencies, traditional rulers, and community leaders to strengthen efforts against security threats across Niger State.
Finally, Gambo Ladan stated that the PDP in Niger State has commenced mobilisation and strategic preparations to secure victory at the polls. He assured party supporters that the PDP is well-positioned to provide the people of Niger State with an alternative platform for sustainable development and effective leadership.
