Some supporters of President Bola Tinubu in the North, have said the incessant banditry attacks in the North West region could be traced to some “desperate politicians” who are bent on frustrating the administration of the President.

Coming under the aegis of Asiwaju Social Network (ASoN), North West Zone, the group warned those it described as “some highly placed Northern leaders who mean no well or those who want to blackmail Asiwaju’s administration” to desist forwith, for the sake of the lives of the people who are on the line.

The statement signed by Lukman Hamza and Comrade Aliyu Zuberu, President and Secretary, respectively, the group also tasked the security agencies, especially the secret police, to do due diligence to unmask those elements who are formenting troubles to win cheap political points.

He said: “We must sound this warning and make it abundantly clear, that, those who are formenting troubles just to win cheap political points must desist forthwith.

“Some highly placed northern leaders who mean no well or those who want to blackmail Asiwaju’s administration must take note that it’s people’s lives they are playing with. “Elections have come and gone and those whom God has placed in positions of authority, we must support them to succeed.

“And if God placed in position of authority and you are using it to cause troubles and make people lose their lives, all because you want to prove a point or win cheap political points against public office holder.”
