Senator Babangida Hussaini ( APC Jigawa North West ) on Monday in Abuja ,expressed worry over looting and vandalism inflicted on public and private properties by violent protesters in some parts of the country .

In a personally signed statement , Senator Hussaini specifically berated those who turned national protest against perceived bad governance into looting and vandalism of public and private properties in Jigawa State .

He said though he was affected by the violent protest but not deterred from giving the people of Jigawa North West , quality and responsive representation in the Senate through development – driven legislation .

The statement reads in part : ” I feel deeply touched by the unfortunate incidences across the nation resulting from the national protests by some Nigerians ostensibly in the exercise of their legitimate concerns on the state of the nation, on 1st August, 2024.

‘My thoughts and sympathies go to the people of my senatorial district, Jigawa State and Nigerians whose lives were lost and property vandalized and looted by miscreants under the guise of a national protest against perceived bad governance.

“As one of the victims of the wanton destruction of property and looting in Jigawa State, I consider what happened as a manifestation of the unfortunate circumstances in which we found ourselves as a nation at this historic moment.

” It is clear to all that the predictable negative consequences of the demonstrations do not in any way define the issues being canvassed by the organizers, instead they reveal the orchestrated intentions of mischief makers and the enemies of State to destabilize the polity for their selfish interests.

” I wish to assure my constituents that I am not angry at what has happened to me
personally and I cannot be DETERRED
or DISTRACTED from my legislative service compact with the people of Jigawa North West Senatorial District.

‘ In fact, I remain RESOLUTE and COMMITTED in serving my people more than ever before in the pursuit of effective legislation that will positively impact the people of my Senatorial District and Nigeria in general, under the legislative agenda of the 10’ National Assembly, headed by Senator Godswill Akpabio, and the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu “.
