We need to sit down, as I mentioned when I met the Arewa Consultative Forum last week. I made it clear to them that all of us, including myself and all the politicians in northern Nigeria over the last 16 years, should be held accountable for the poverty, unemployment, lack of education, and security issues in the region,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He reflected on the state of security, noting that in 2016, Kaduna residents were not familiar with issues like banditry, kidnappings, or insurgency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 2016, there were no kidnappings in Birnin Gwari. What went wrong? What is the problem?\u201d he questioned.<\/p>\n<p>Sani said insurgency, banditry, and kidnappings escalated around 2017-2018.<\/p>\n<p>He urged northern leaders to reflect critically on why the region is in its current predicament, highlighting that northern Nigeria is currently excluded from financial institutions, pointing out the absence of national banks owned by northern businessmen, which he deemed detrimental to the region\u2019s progress.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu inherited a broken system from the previous administration.
