Senator Shehu Sani, has asked Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir\u00a0el-Rufai, to shelve his presidential ambition.
\nSani in a statement on Wednesday said, \u201cHe (El-Rufai) thinks President\u00a0Muhammadu Buhari failed but he never invited PMB to even commission a\u00a0completed toilet in his state. Under El-Rufai, Kaduna has become a hub\u00a0of kidnappers and a sanctuary for herdsmen.
\n\u201cThe very governor who once condemned the National Assembly for lack\u00a0of transparency has proven to be worse. El-Rufai wants to be seen as\u00a0an apostle of Buhari\u2019s change but he is actually the Judas of change.
\n\u201cIt is hypocritical to promise Nigerians change and end up only\u2018putting change in our pockets.\u2019 There\u2019s nothing progressive about\u00a0many people who claim to be Buharists; they are reactionaries and\u00a0career opportunists who can fit into any government in power.
\n”I call on El-Rufai to suspend his presidential or vice presidential\u00a0ambitions and concentrate on proper governance of the state.\u201d
\n\u201cJournalists in Kaduna State are under siege; blackmailed, arrested,\u00a0pocketed or threatened with arrest and, as such, could not have\u00a0written such a story.
\nEl-Rufai jails journalists\u00a0like Pinochet or\u00a0Stalin. El-Rufai is a man with a mouth for criticism but without a\u00a0stomach for criticism. In his two years in office, he has jailed not\u00a0less than seven journalists in Kaduna, of which many are in court.
\n\u201cKaduna State is run like a personal \u2018family and friends estate\u2019\u00a0without any meaningful physical achievement other than sponsored media\u00a0propaganda.
\nEl-Rufai has no money to pay traditional rulers he\u00a0recently sacked but has money to dispense as contracts to family,\u00a0friends and political cronies.
\n\u201cEl-Rufai has enough money to pay herdsmen but no money to pay\u00a0district heads. Kaduna is today littered with abandoned drainages to\u00a0the point that the rainy season has turned Kaduna into a \u2018coastal state with creeks.\u2019 He is auctioning over 2,000 government houses he\u00a0inherited but he has yet to build a hut.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
