Former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has accused the Kwara State Government of incompetence in handling the security issues in the state.
He pointed out that over 70 people have been killed in the state in the last six months.
He shared his reservations during the state congress of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The governor argued that the state had not experienced such a debacle under the previous administrations.
Saraki vowed not to remain silent over the situation, maintaining that insecurity affects everyone.
He said, “Over 70 people have been killed, 52 sustained injuries and 40 people kidnapped in Kwara in the last six months.
“During the tenure of my predecessors, Governor Adamu Attah, Governor Shaaba Lafiagi, and Governor Mohammed Lawal, as well as my own tenure, and even that of my immediate successor, AbdulFatai Ahmed, Kwara did not experience this ugly insecurity.
“Unfortunately, the present government has failed to tow the right path in protecting the lives and property of Kwarans.
“We will not keep quiet because the present government in Kwara State has failed to provide security for our people due to their incompetence. We will continue to speak out because security is everyone’s business.
“We cannot just look on and allow the present leadership in Kwara State to ruin the state due to their ineptitude. Opposition is not your problem, face I’m you’re elected to do and secure the lives and property of Kwarans.”
