Don’t Attack Anyone, El-Rufai cautions citizens

Governor Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai on Wednesday appealed to citizens not to respond to the treatment meted on him by demonstrators in Kafanchan, Jema’a local government area on Tuesday.

The Governor and his entourage were pelted with stones and some of the vehicles broken after addressing some demonstrators immediately after he chaired Kaduna State Security Council meeting in the area.

The official residence of the local government chairman, Dr.Bege Katuka was also burnt.

The governor’s spokesman, Samuel Aruwan, disclosed in an official statement that Malam Nasir El-Rufai considers the unfortunate events as part of the burdens of leadership. He added that the Governor is of the view that there must be no reaction to the incident other than a continued commitment to restore peace and harmony.

The statement quoted the Governor as saying that “in the name of God, I am begging you. No one should take the law into his or her hand over what happened in Kafanchan. Although it is unfortunate, but we must rise above induced prejudice and hatred. We must defeat hate with patience, love and dedication to duty and not eye for an eye.

“It is also a burden of leadership and we will, by the special grace of God, overcome these forces of darkness who are dividing our citizens using religion, ethnicity and politics. I commend high the sense of professionalism exhibited by security personnel.

“I listened to three of the women who led the protesters as they asked me questions. I answered them and even invited them to a larger meeting, but they went on rampage and burnt the residence of the local government chairman.

“The government of Kaduna State and the Security Council sympathize with the chairman of Jema’a local government, Dr.Bege Katuka and his family over the unfortunate incident that led to the burning of their home. Our prayers and support go with them.”

Similarly, the governor will update the people of the state on the steps being taken to improve security in the state in a state-wide live radio interview on Wednesday night, from 8pm to 10 pm.

Signed

As long as they weren't paid for dis .. M with dem

I think say all the millions wey dem dey use buy cars, na bullet proof them be.

If stone do this damage, Wetin bullet go do?

I don't know why I refuse to see most of these APC people as leaders. EL rufai, obaseki etc. My view though.

shortman devil

Our attacking skills in Nigeria is too poor and Weak.
In Turkey, an Islamic radical extremist who attacked the Russian Ambassador killed him.

Na only car wee sabi destroy . Car wee politician fit buy 50 of am within one day.

You kill them with guns and they retaliate with stones

This is serious.

I guess the people are angry with their leadership, they should work on the message passed.

The blood is flowing from Rivers to kaduna

I don't pity the governor but the indigenes of the state for such act. Why because taxpayers money would be used to replace those vehicles that were damaged and the building

chai boys are not small smiling

In my opinion Nasir el rufai is not doing enough to stop the killings in southern kaduna. As the CSO of the state, all the blames stop on his table. let him brace up!!!

Why did it take us so long?

well deserved.

AHaha

It's starting ... The revolution

Dear Nairalanders thanks for your patronage so far. Please contact me on my signature for your Xmas goat.

If you've lived in Kafanchan before, you'll understand the level of hatred and animosity between the groups there. In short, the whole of Kaduna state is a ground floor of hatred and bitterness.
