Zulum made the call during his opening remarks as the chairman of the 37th national Quranic recitation competition in Gusau, saying many state governments inherited security challenges
He said even the coronavirus pandemic destroyed the economic set-up of many states and that of the country at large.
“It is also very clear that Governor Matawalle inherited the insecurity and had tried his best to address the insecurity situation”
