El-Rufai’s Policies are Anti-People Senator Shehu Sani
Senator
Shehu Sani representing the Kaduna Central Senatorial District has called to the general
public towards the Policies of Governor Nasir El-Rufai, accusing him of
introducing unpopular policies that does not have the interest of the people at
heart. While the senator being interviewed by Tribune, he said
“He is a technocrat, while I’m an activist
and a revolutionary. So, my power base is the common people the masses who
constitute my strength. They are the people I have lived with and fought for
over the years. The way the governor is sunning the affairs of government in Kaduna
state is one which, if care is not taken, we will all sink”
The senator
has further explained how the government of Nasir El-Rufai is not willing to
take the general masses along with him
“He has to take consideration of the fact
that he met people that were impoverished, that were muscled, harassed and
demoralized by the government of the PDP. So, first of all, they don’t need
harsh policies that will further impoverish and alienate them. We need to carry
them along, taking cognisance of the situation which we find them in. I
fundamentally differ with him on that issue. For that reason, he has decided on
his own not to even appoint people who identify with me in anyway and who are
also seen to be from my camp”
The senator
went ahead to challenged the Governor, that the governor is not bigger than him
and him not bigger than the governor
“He is a governor, I’m also a Senator. He is
not bigger than me, neither am I bigger than him. So, as far as I’m concerned,
whether El-Rufai is a governor or whatever, anything which he does that does
not tally with what is supposed to be done, I will certainly tell him,” Mr.
Sani said
