GOVERNOR Bello Masari has urged Nigerians to stop blaming the government for insecurity being experienced in parts of the nation.
Masari spoke yesterday in Katsina during the commissioning and handing over of Kafur Islamic Centre.
The centre was donated by Wagf Su’ad Al’abdul Jaleel through As-sheikh Tariq, with the support of the African Continent Committee and the State of Kuwait.
According to the governor, security is everybody’s business and not that of the government alone.
He said: “We are battling with the worse form of insecurity, what brought it?; People who were living peacefully before as neighbours and friends, attending the same market, weddings funerals, and naming ceremonies without any conflict.
“But today, they are killing themselves, stealing their properties, and raping their wives and children. How come they turned overnight and started killing themselves? That means we have to examine ourselves. What went wrong? We should stop blaming the government because security is everybody’s business.”
He, however, charged the management of the Islamic centre to be unbiased while giving out admissions to deserving applicants and educate residents of the host community on the need for unity to enhance harmonious co-existence.
