Kaduna Won’t Tolerate Politicisation Of Insecurity, Gov Sani Warns
13 April, 2026 | News
Uba Sani has reaffirmed that his administration will not tolerate the politicisation of insecurity, warning that anyone attempting to undermine peace in Kaduna State will face the full weight of the law.
Speaking during a State Security Council meeting at Sir Kashim Ibrahim House, the governor stressed his constitutional responsibility to protect lives and property, noting that he would carry out that duty firmly and without compromise.
He said the government remains vigilant against individuals or groups seeking to test its resolve, adding that Kaduna will not return to a past marked by violence, fear, and division. According to him, the state has not recorded ethno-religious or farmer-herder conflicts since his administration began on May 29, 2023.
Highlighting his administration’s strategy, the governor emphasised a shift toward preventive security measures. He noted that strengthening grassroots intelligence, fostering collaboration with traditional and religious institutions, and ensuring coordination among security agencies are key priorities.
He described the Kaduna Peace Model as a central pillar of the state’s security success, explaining that it focuses on inclusivity, intelligence-led operations, inter-agency cooperation, and community involvement. The approach, he said, has helped transition the state from reactive responses to proactive prevention.
While acknowledging progress, the governor warned that evolving security threats—especially those influenced by political interests—require continued vigilance, particularly as the country approaches a sensitive political period.
He also recognised the support of Bola Tinubu and the Federal Government, noting that improved coordination and institutional reforms have strengthened state-level security efforts. Additionally, he commended the Minister of Defence, Christopher Musa, for his commitment to national security.
The governor praised the efforts of security agencies, including the Armed Forces, Police, and other paramilitary bodies, as well as the contributions of traditional rulers, religious leaders, and community stakeholders, stressing that sustainable security depends on cooperation, trust, and shared responsibility.
