The President carefully selected northerners and appointed them to key positions. Look at me; I am from Zamfara state, and the Chief of Defence is from Kaduna state. The Minister of Defence, Badaru, is from Jigawa State; the National Security Adviser is from Adamawa State, while the Minister of State for Police Affairs is also from the North.So, he carefully selected us because he knows our problem is insecurity. So we are here to flush out those bandits that have been terrorising our region.
