Although the storm in Kaduna State seems to simmer relatively, the smoke dispersed by the hot dry whirlwind to every nook and cranny still chokes many even to suffocating points. Governor of the state, Nasir el-Rufai is under fire for incessant vociferous termination of appointments of workers hiding under different guises.

Any case involving El-Rufai immediately goes viral on social media. Looking at his antecedents, one would recall how he stepped on toes in Abuja as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory. His firm decision, thus, in sacking over 30,000 workers in the state since he became governor is not surprising.



The cause of the impasse between the Kaduna State Governor and the Labour Union in the state is not new. However, the dagger-drawn war took a new twist when the chief contenders on both sides engaged in verbal warfare, smacking every juice of leadership.

The Governor could be right to downsize the workforce in the state, so as to cut excessive recurrent expenditure in form of salaries and other overhead costs. However, the way and manner he executed his plan were clearly flawed in the face of the law and under all known rules of human relations.
