The Senator representing Kaduna Central at the Red Chambers, MalamShehu Sani, has
accused Kaduna State governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai of tyranny, describing him
as a ‘military administrator.’
The All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmaker said this in reaction to
the demolition of APC faction secretariat, a building belonging to Senator
Suleiman Hunkuyi, in Kaduna state. Channels TV reports that Sani said El-Rufai
demolished the building because he is angered by his suspension from the party.
Due to the crisis rocking APC in Kaduna state, a new faction formed by
members loyal to the two suspended APC Senators Suleiman Hunkuyi and Shehu Sani
emerged.
It was gathered that the new faction opened a new state party
Secretariat at 11B Sambo close in the state but the building housing the
secretariat was demolished on Tuesday, February 20.
Senator Sani said: “What is
happening in Kaduna is simply tyranny. We don’t have an elected governor we
have a military administrator, one who thinks that everything should go his own
way.
“He engineered the party to suspend us, to suspend me. That is about a
year and a half ago. When the suspension (El-Rufai’s suspension) came, he
became very angry moving about bulldozers to bring down buildings.”
He also said that the appointment of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as chairman of
the party’s reconciliation committee ahead of the 2019 elections will only be
successful if governors cooperate with Tinubu.
He said: “The best option for the party is the path of Senator Ahmed
Bola Tinubu and I believe that he will succeed. If he will succeed it depends
on whether the governors are prepared to cooperate with him.
“But the fact that the last chance
for the party to unite and restore order is for Bola Tinubu to succeed and if
he doesn’t succeed, I don’t see any possibility for any other thing to happen
than for all of us to go our separate ways.”
The lawmaker also reacted to the
allegations that he critises Governor El-Rufai because of his ambition to
become the governor of the state.
He said: “I don’t know when I criticised Babangida, Abacha and other
tyrants of the past whether I wanted to be President. When things go wrong, I speak
out against President Muhammadu Buhari, does that now mean that I want to be
President for speaking out?
