Human rights activist and former federal lawmaker, Shehu Sani has claimed that the security situation in the northern part of Nigeria is better under President Bola Tinubu, when compared to what obtained during the administration of former president Muhammadu Buhari.
He made this known while speaking at the 40th anniversary and reunion of the ’84 set of Kagara Old Boys Association, composed of alumni from Government Science College, Kagara, in Rafi Local Government Area of Niger State.
According to the former senator, who represented Kaduna Central senatorial district in the Senate, security in the northern region of the country has improved.
He went on to say that terrorists who attacked several schools in the north during Buhari’s administration have slowed down since Tinubu took over.
He further linked the improved security situation in the region to the killing of some terrorists’ leaders.

Addressing the current security situation in the north, Shehu Sani said: “The security challenges would be over in the whole country because what we have now is better than the one we had during the Buhari administration.
“There is every evidence that many of the top terrorists have been eliminated by our security forces. And if you compare what we are having today to what we had yesterday, it is still the best.
“Under Buhari administration, we had a series of attacks on schools, including attacks on Green Field University, Kaduna, Bathel Baptist school, Kaduna, Government Science College, Kagara, Federal Government Girls’ College, Yauri, Federal School of Agricultural Mechanisation, Mando, Government Secondary school, Kankara, Government Secondary school, Jangibe, all under Buhari administration. So, we are hopeful that things would be better.”
