It is becoming increasingly clear that it is not only Senator Shehu Sani that is uncomfortable with the actions, policies and programmes of Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State. Sani says the Kaduna governor is clearly not a progressive and that his policies are anti-people. A Coalition of Southern Kaduna Groups headed by Barr. James Kanyip is also holding El-Rufai by the jugular. The group is unhappy that governor Kaduna has been appointing non-indigenes into prominent political positions in the state.
It is unhappy about the appointment of Hadiza Bala Usman as Chief of
Staff; Muyiwa Adekeye as Special Adviser on Media and Publicity; Peter
Ayim as Special Assistant on Entrepreneur; Hafiz Bayero as Special
Assistant on Job Creation; Hajiya Rabi Abdulsalam as Commissioner for
Women Affairs and Hajiya Hadiza Yahuza as Interim Chairman of Chikun
Local Government Area, among others. The Coalition of Southern Kaduna
Groups wants all these non-indigenes sacked. It also alleges that
El-Rufai is planning to expunge the “indigene” clause from Kaduna State
documents to make it possible for anyone who resides in Kaduna to gain
equal access to everything that a native of Kaduna State may be entitled
to.
