need additional security,we will provide for them.

moving in the state.

live programme, the security situation in the state
and I explained to them.
“The last security review we did was on Friday
with all security agencies. All the paramilitary like
the Immigration Service, Prisons, Civil Defence
and the Nigeria Customs, will all go out to
provide security. The security agencies are ready
for the task to assist the police.

during elections in Kaduna State. We have made it
very clear that vigilance groups will not be
allowed to provide security tomorrow.

confident that everything will go well. No one
should be involved in taking another person’s life.
So we are confident that the elections will go
smoothly.“
