The Man - Nasir El-rufai:
The man whose petition was read against at the National Assembly which led the Senate to withhold his confirmation as minister because the petition was said to be insecurity related during his time as governor has till date not been invited for questioning by the DSS or any other security agency in Nigeria.
There have been several reports of bandits and terrorists arrested in recent times, yet none of them has mentioned his name as their sponsor.
Recently, this same man appeared on Channels (a national TV - Sunday Politics with Seun Okinbaloye), accusing the federal government of paying kidnappers to release victims, condemning their approach to fight insecurity. My expectation was that the government would demand evidence from him, but unfortunately, they only warned him to stop mentioning their names.
This is the same man who has repeatedly declared publicly that he never stole Kaduna State government money throughout his tenure in office, and to date, I have not seen any evidence from his successor who is not even on good terms with him to counter his claims.
This is a reality of the situation in Nigeria. Who do we blame for this now? Govt or El-Rufai 🤷
