From Agaju Madugba, Katsina

All Progressives Congress national leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to acquire what he described as a cracker, insisting it was the only instrument capable of effectively tackling the menace of insecurity in the country.

“We urge the Federal Government of Buhari as the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces to use all means necessary to eliminate these criminals,” he said, yesterday, at the Katsina Government House during a condolence visit to Governor Aminu Bello Masari over the recent murder of Commissioner for Science, Technology and Innovation, Rabe Nasir.

According to Tinubu, “in my native Yoruba land, it is not easy to get to the seed of a palm kernel except with the use of a cracker and that is why the president must use a cracker to get to the kernel of insecurity, especially banditry and kidnapping.

“And, we are going to support the president until he gets the cracker to get the seed of evil out of the entire territory of Nigeria.
