A group under the aegis of Concerned Citizens of Kaduna State, has hailed the reports of security agencies indicting a former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir el-Rufai before being confirmed as ministerial nominee by the Senate.
Malam Nasir el-Rufai is currently undergoing security checks following his nomination by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu among those to be confirmed as ministers by the Senate.
Based on the findings, Nasir el-Rufai and two other nominees are currently undergoing security checks.
In a statement issued yesterday in Kaduna by its chairman, Sule Ibrahim, the group said, “Most of those who cry loud against some policies of the former governor while in power as the governor of the state are now vindicated because the security reports against the former governor have exactly described who the former governor is.
“It will be disastrous for such person to be given responsibility of handling a ministry that affects the entire country, who has boldly shown his hatred to a particular faith and group of people especially the people of Southern Kaduna, who he neglected throughout his eight years in office.”
According to him, the present administration led by President Bola Tinubu should give responsibilities to people of unquestionable character to ensure justice and fair play is given to every Nigerian, irrespective of any different.
He said, “Nigerians need leaders that will unite the people because the present situation the citizens have found themselves has no barrier but everybody is suffering and so, in unity, we will be able to solve our challenges, not someone that will further cause confusion through his or her bigot tendencies for his selfish interest.”
In Kaduna State, the statement noted that, insecurity became the order of the day, saying that the immediate past administration failed to confront the criminal elements, but those that were being killed and their property destroyed were arrested and punished innocently.
“We call on the National Assembly and the security agencies to do a thorough screening to ensure only those with unquestionable character are given the opportunity to man the affairs of the country to its promised land,” the statement observed.
