The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Katsina Alhaji Lado Danmarke said his government will prioritise the security of lives and properties as well as the provision of infrastructure if elected governor in 2023.
Danmarke, who spoke in an interview in Abuja, said insecurity in the state has affected governance and provision of infrastructure adversely as a result of banditry, terrorism and other forms criminalities.
He said like most states in the northwest, Katsina is faced with the problem of insecurity which is as a result of the activities of terrorists, bandits, kidnappers and rustlers.
As a result, he lamented that thousands of lives have been lost, kidnapped or maimed since the challenge started about a decade ago, with scores of residents that have now deserted their various communities.
Danmarke insisted however that despite the years-long security problem, the challenge can be overcomed in the state.
According to him, “the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC), in the state has exhausted all its ideas on how to tackle the problems.’’
