Lawmaker representing Sumaila/Takai federal constituency has hailed the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for the efforts put in so far in tackling the growing insecurity in the country.
Rep. Shamsudeen Dambazau who hails from Kano State, gave the kudos while interacting with journalists in Abuja.
According to him, the security situation in Nigeria has greatly improved over the years, noting that the federal government has put enough mechanisms in place to dislodge terrorists across the country.
” The government gave a deadline and people should be held accountable for the responsibility given to them to achieve results. We are achieving results and more is expected to be achieved, the issue of kidnapping needs to be really looked into as it has become a menace in Nigeria,” Dqambazau said.
Speaking also on the forthcoming elections, the lawmaker urged security agencies to provide the needed atmosphere for a successful election.
He dismissed the insinuations that the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu was sick and unfit to rule the country.
He said that ” he is very well and there was nothing wrong with him. He has been a successful CEO (Chief Executive Officer) and also succeeded in everything he has laid his hands on, adding that he is going from state to state mobilizing the youths ahead of the election”.
He further advised the Independent National Electoral Commission, to make the collection of the Permanent Voters Card (PVC), a more seamless process stating that the Electoral Act 2021 which was passed by the House of Representative has changed everything and Nigerians have no fear about the topic of under aged voting.
He also defended his earlier defection from APC to New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) and back to the APC saying “it’s not another person’s body that took and went to another political party, it is my body so it does concern anyone what I do with my body. İ am in APC and very happy to be there so nobody has the right to judge me.”
“There is nothing wrong with defection, after all Nigeria is still a growing democracy like in the United States of America where you have just two political parties:Democrats and Republican, “He added.
