In a statement signed by Director General, Media and Publicity, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, Kano State Governor Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to deepening cooperation with the Nigeria Police to sustain peace and security across the state. Governor Yusuf made this known during a courtesy visit to the Kano State Commissioner of Police, CP Ibrahim Bakori, at his office. The governor said the visit was aimed at strengthening the existing relationship between the state government and the police command, as well as reinforcing mutual cooperation and understanding. He noted that insecurity was one of the major challenges he faced upon assuming office, stressing that the situation has significantly improved under the leadership of CP Bakori. Governor Yusuf emphasized that Kano belongs to all its people, adding that political differences should never be used as an excuse to compromise security. He said politicians must rise above partisan interests when it comes to the safety of lives and property, noting that while political disagreements may exist, security issues must remain non-negotiable. “As politicians, we may belong to different platforms, but on matters of security, we must unite under one umbrella for the good of Kano,” the governor said. He further assured the police command of the state government’s moral and institutional support, adding that the people of Kano are fully aware of, and appreciative of, the efforts of the police in maintaining peace. In his remarks, the Kano State Commissioner of Police, CP Ibrahim Bakori, described the governor’s visit as a clear demonstration of his commitment, support, and goodwill towards the police force. CP Bakori said the governor’s continuous support, encouragement, and guidance since his assumption of office have greatly contributed to the successes recorded by the command. He reaffirmed the police command’s commitment to working closely with the state government to ensure sustained peace and security across Kano State. The Commissioner of Police also used the opportunity to parade three suspects who allegedly killed a mother with her entire children in Dorayi-Chiranci quarters few days ago. The statement from Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa indicated that the meeting set the stage for a final push to eliminate political thuggery as the governor promised additional logistics support. Dawakin Tofa confirmed the governor’s pledge of continued collaboration for the safety of all residents.
