Kidnappings: Hold govs responsible – Tinubu’s aide, Bwala to Nigerians

President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has said state governors should be held responsible for the increase in kidnappings across Nigeria.

Bwala said that governors should be held responsible for every kidnapping that happens in their states.

In an interview on the Morayo Show, Bwala said that the lack of safety at the local level shows that there are problems with how leaders are running things and how money meant for community growth and safety is being handled.

He said: “Every time someone is kidnapped or taken against their will in any part of Nigeria, the governor of that state should be held responsible. And I will say, and I want it to be the memorable word.

“Every local government area, all the kidnappings have happened in local government areas.”

Bwala also asked how the money given for the Safe School Initiative was used, saying “the program was meant to make schools safer.

“There was a program called the Safe School Initiative that began, and money was given to states to build fences around schools, set up early science warnings, and carry out all those safety checks.”

He further queried: “Ask your governor where that money was spent.”
