2019: What I’ll do to end Zamfara killings within 30 days – Atiku [VIDEO]

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has unveiled his plan to halt the escalating
banditry in Zamfara state.

According to him, he will send a combined detachment of 30,000
military and police personnel to flush out the bandits who have
worsened the security situation in the state, within the first 30 days
of his swearing-in as President in 2019.

Atiku, who made this promise on Friday in a video he posted on
Twitter, slammed President Muhammadu Buhari for deploying huge number
of security operatives to Osun and Ekiti States to grab power for his
political party but unable to do same to secure the lives and property
of Zamfarans.

He said: "I am following all you (Zamfarans) have been going through
in the hands of bandits who steal, kill and destroy your properties.

"My heart bleeds for you and I urge you all to accept my prayer that
the Almighty Allah will bring an end to your sufferings.

"I am contesting for the office of the president of Nigeria. I am
assuring you that if you, the good people of Zamfara, elect me as
President on February 16, 2019 within a month of my swearing-in, I
will send a combined force of 30,000 soldiers and policemen to stay in
Zamfara and make sure that the bandits you see today, you will see no
more.

"When election took place in Ekiti and Osun states, President Buhari
sent 30,000 policemen there. I want to assure you that it is more
important for me to secure your lives and properties than for me to
secure political power for my party."
