A resident of Katsina State has credited President Bola Tinubu’s administration with improving security and the economy, saying one of his most significant personal achievements under the current government was marrying a second wife.
The man, who hails from Jibia Local Government Area, made the remarks during a press interview conducted in the Hausa language.
He praised the reduction in banditry in his community and claimed that the improved environment allowed him to take the bold step of expanding his family.
“I am pleased with the leadership of Tinubu. I married a second wife under Tinubu. My community, Jibia, is now secure from attacks by bandits,” he said.
His comments come amid ongoing discussions about the impact of the Tinubu administration’s security and economic policies, especially in northern Nigeria. While some citizens have continued to express frustration over economic hardship, others, like the Katsina resident, believe there have been noticeable improvements in specific areas such as local security.
Jibia, a border town in Katsina, has been one of the regions affected by banditry in recent years, leading to displacement, loss of lives, and disruption of local economies. However, local reports suggest that security operations have recently intensified in the area, resulting in fewer incidents.
