Zamfara State Governor, Abdulaziz Yari, says he told the truth on amount he spent on security in the state, insisting the figure is over N13billion.

Yari spoke when he received the Federal Commissioner, National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons, Hajiya Sadiya Umar-Farouq, in Gusau on Thursday.

The governor was reacting to critics on his request to the federal government to refund the N13 billion his administration spent in fighting crime in the last five years.

“People should learn to respect their leaders and what the leaders say and ask for clarification on what they do not know”, he said.
He recalled that armed bandits, cattle rustlers and kidnappers caused lots of damages to lives and property and that the state government made frantic efforts to contain the situation.

Yari further explained that the state government constituted a committee which was chaired by the Deputy Governor, Mallam Ibrahim Wakkala, pointing out that the committee negotiated with the bandits.

He noted that the initiative resulted in many of the criminals renouncing their act and surrendering their weapons.

Yari first requested for the refund of the money when the Minister of Defence, Alhaji Mansur Dan-Ali, came to the state on an official visit in March.

Why always the North with such security challenge and they are all follwers of religion of Peace

even d devil knows that this is a white lie

I have a problem with Nigeria politicians ...when they want to raise money for something they believe they will get something from the raise the money no matter what

13 billion in zamfara with the large land they have that's over 2 billion per year ...do he know how many hectares of rice that will farm and process ?? Creating more jobs and mover revenue??

Leave rice. .what of wheat ?? OK cattle in irrigated fields ?? ...or shoe industry or even garment industry

N13billion = N13,000,000,000 - Let's just process that for a second.

This is the same state that couldn't provide vaccines for meningitis and left children to die like chickens. Smh.

Lalasticlala our governors are really working
