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

<\/div>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

He said: \u201cI am following all you (Zamfarans) have been going through in the hands of bandits who steal, kill and destroy your properties.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy heart bleeds for you and I urge you all to accept my prayer that the Almighty Allah will bring an end to your sufferings.<\/p>\n

\u201cI 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.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cWhen 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.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
