Shehu Sani speaks on reported safety of Kaduna-Abuja road
The Abuja-Kaduna road is still not as safe as being projected, Senator Sani has said
- The Kaduna lawmaker said people prefer to use the train
rather than the road.
Senator Shehu Sani has hinted that nobody believes the
Abuja-Kaduna road is safe in spite of Operation Puff Adder launched to tackle
the problem of insecurity on the road. In a couple of tweets on his page on
Monday, April 15, written in Pidgin, the Kaduna lawmaker said people who ply
the route prefer to take the train ride rather than take the road because of
insecurity.
Sani Tweeted:
Everybody wey dey go kaduna from Abuja na for train window e go dey watch the road wey they say e safe now.— Senator Shehu Sani (@ShehuSani) April 15, 2019
