The gubernatorial candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in 2023 election in Kaduna State, Jonathan Asake, has stated that former governor Nasir El-Rufai became governor by accident.
Speaking to newsmen in Kaduna, the former gubernatorial candidate expressed concern over the utterances of El-Rufai on Channels Television.
He lamented that insecurity was the order of the day during the administration of El-Rufai.
Asake opined that democracy in Nigeria will succeed if only those knowledgeable are elected into office for proper administration of their citizens.
He said, “So long as the right people are not allowed to lead their people either at the federal, state and local government, the country will continue to suffer like what Kaduna state went through in the hands of El-Rufai, who by accident became the governor of the state and we all saw what took place during his tenure.
“Insecurity became the order of the day in the state, many people were displaced; till date, they have gone back to their ancestral homes.”
He explained that during the tenure of El-Rufai, those that were attacked were the same people arrested for trying to resist the attackers, adding that curfews were also imposed on such communities for months with the attackers having a field day to carry out their nefarious act with little resistance.
Asake, who was the President of the Southern Kaduna People’s Union (SOKAPU) when El-Rufai was governor, said he did nothing to come to the aid of the victims, and that they were left to carry their cross
He said, “Any right thinking person that listens to the former governor’s interview will definitely feel sorry for the country because instead of leaders to make factual analysis of issues, the same persons try as much as possible to sow the seed of discord in the minds of his people not minding what happened. It is this same person that still wants to lead a country like Nigeria.”
He stated that the persons in the coalition party should be given serious scrutiny by Nigerians to see if they were truly freedom fighters or some were using it for their selfish ambition and not for the interest of Nigeria.
