### Senator Barau Responds to Kano Government on Security Matters
The Deputy President of the Nigerian Senate, Senator Barau I. Jibrin, has urged the Kano State Government, led by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, to avoid politicizing issues of insecurity in the state.
Barau emphasized that security challenges demand unity, collaboration, and responsible communication, rather than public blame or political manipulation. According to him, transforming sensitive matters into political debates weakens collective efforts to maintain peace and safety.
> “Security is a collective responsibility. We should work together, not turn serious issues into political tools,” Barau stated.
He further explained that instead of attributing insecurity to political opponents, the focus should be on strengthening local law enforcement and addressing root causes through inclusive governance. The senator reaffirmed his commitment to supporting both federal and state initiatives aimed at restoring stability in Kano and other parts of Nigeria.
Barau called on all political actors and community leaders to prioritize the safety and well-being of citizens above partisan interests.
