Insurgents flooding into Kano ,says Ganduje

Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State on Friday (Dec.2) briefed President Muhammadu Buhari on emerging security challenges in the state occasioned by increasing influx of Boko Haram insurgents into Falgore forest in the state.

He said that security agencies have apprehended three persons believed to be leaders of the criminal group.

The governor, who is the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress’ Technical Committee on Rivers by-elections, expressed optimism that all the APC candidates would emerge victorious in the exercise.

He said the APC would ensure a free and fair election in the state.

He said, “We have fresh ideas even though the environment in Rivers is quiet different. We are consulting, we are coordinating and this time around, like in Ondo state, we must ensure free and fair election.

“You know in that part of the country, having free and fair election is not normal and we must make it normal this time around. We must make sure that there is security so that people can come out and vote and vote the person they like.

“That is our main preoccupation at the moment. We are making wider consultations with stakeholders and we believe we will succeed.
