Jealousy is allowed. At Op please show us the pictures of your state airport or any state owned airport in your region. That airport is still in developing state and there is room for more infrastructural development. I thought you would have grown pass bigotry and cruise catching for the younger ones?

Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, on Thursday said when 29 students of the Federal College of Forestry Mechanisation, Afaka, Kaduna State, were abducted, the plan was to attack and kill the bandits even if it meant some students would die in the process.

El-Rufai added that Kaduna is currently at war and such would only be considered as collateral damage, a price he would be willing to pay instead of paying ransom.

The governor, however, said before this could be done, the bandits hurriedly changed location which led to the students spending over a month in captivity.

The governor said this on Thursday during a webinar organised by the Africa Leadership Group.

The event which was tagged: ‘Developing a Viable Nation 2’ was hosted by Pastor of Trinity House Church, Ituah Ighodalo.

Responding to a question on his refusal to negotiate with bandits, the governor said, “Two days after the abduction of the Afaka young people, I was assured by the air force and the army that they knew where the kidnappers were with the students and they had encircled (them).

“We were going to attack them. We would lose a few students but we would kill all the bandits and we would recover some of the students. That was our plan. That was the plan of the air force and the army… But they slipped through the cordon of the army. That is why they were not attacked.

“We know it is risky, we know in the process we may lose some of the abductees but it is a price we have to pay. This is war, there will always be collateral damage in war and we will rather do that than pay money because paying money has not solved the problem anywhere in the world.”

El-Rufai admitted that he had “lost weight” over the insecurity in Kaduna State which was giving him sleepless nights.

The governor, however, claimed that insecurity in Kaduna was not as bad as Niger, Katsina and Zamfara but the media only focused attention on his state because it fitted into their narrative of ethnic clashes.

El-Rufai said in Katsina and Niger states, entire villages were sacked by bandits but nothing of such happened in Kaduna.

On why he asked former President Goodluck Jonathan to negotiate with Boko Haram to rescue Chibok girls, the governor stated that he only gave that advice because that was the first time such abduction would take place.

He said Boko Haram is driven by an ideology and not by money in the case of today’s bandits.

The governor also spoke about his expectations for Nigeria in 2023.

El-Rufai said it was his wish that the next President of Nigeria would not be more than 65 years.

The governor said political leadership is mentally and physically draining and a younger person would handle the stress better than an older person.

El-Rufai also said the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), hardly achieved much because he is a nice guy that doesn’t like to sack.

He said he believed in sacking incompetent hands and that was why he achieved more.

helinues:
Our democratic leaders always committed so much to some groups, individuals and foreign body while seeking for power, the demands from those people don't really allow them to work.

If a governorship aspirants can be spending billions of naira during campaign, how much more someone contesting for presidency would spend?

Lazycapitalist2:
It wasn't . It was the same old corrupt nation, same old underdeveloped nation, with a lot of security issues, and problems.

helinues:
When Nigeria was still a country

budaatum:
There are some who say Nigeria was better off during colonisation too. Some are even begging for the return of slavery! I just think they were sleeping or not yet born.

madridguy:
Elder Sarrki thanks for this thread.

According to the results of the exams obtained by DAILY NIGERIAN, three serving chairmen seeking re-election were disqualified for alleged anti-party activities or financial misappropriations.

The state chairman of Association of Local Governments of Nigeria, ALGON, Aliyu Mahmoud, who is the chairman of Soba Local Government Council, was disqualified alongside his Lere counterpart, Abubakar Buba, for anti-party activities.

The chairman of Kaduna North Local Government Council, Saleh Shuaibu, was also found unsuitable for re-election over his indictment by auditor-general’s report for mismanagement of funds.

The examination, held on April 22, was supervised by a 17-man panel, including four professors, several PhD holders and lawyers.

The aspirants were told to write biographical essay on their lives, schools attended, work experiences, places lived or visited within Kaduna state, Nigeria and abroad.

DAILY NIGERIAN gathered that he essence of the exercise was to screen out incompetent aspirants as well as those with questionable credentials and deficiencies that have the tendencies of exposing the party to post-election litigations

Zik is the biggest politician from Nigeria ever

He influenced many policies that still affects Nigeria till today

And he also did not side with ojukwu during the civil war

Idiko1:
It is only in your silly and deluded skull that a party that won majority ( almost 2/3 majority) seats to form a government came last. When you have Republic of Oduduwa, you can term the party which won more than enough seats to form a government as being last. I guess Oluwole certificate has a place of origin. You are foolishly correct too because Ndigbo divided Nigeria into federal constituencies.

Idiko1:
I guess Nigeria is called basket of fools because of numerous individuals in Nigeria with the same level of intellect as you do. Winner and loser or first or last in a parliamentary election is not determined by the popular vote or ballot but number of parliamentary seats won by contesting parties. From the statistics you posted in the above crap, even a delusional dunce can discern NPC won the majority of seats and came first in the election.
British actually knew the northern region did not have number or population to compete hence almost every village in northern region was branded a federal constituency. Instead of using the demography to decide federal constituencies in northern region, British used land mass. Please disabuse your mind from crap about Azikiwe inviting Awolowo to Asaba. Azikiwe did not and never invited Awo to Asaba or Onitsha. Awolowo and Action Group decided to play a fast one on both Azikiwe and Bello. Awolowo dispatched his so-called lieutenants in Akintola and Rosiji to Kaduna while Awo and Ige went to Onitsha. unbeknown to the Awo that his so-called lieutenants have a trick up their sleeves. When Awolowo and his con men got their respective destinations, Onitsha and Kaduna, the team of Akintola and Rosiji unfolded their ace by placing a call to Azikiwe in Onitsha about their visit to Kaduna just to stick it to Awo. It was shocker to Awo and Ige in Onitsha where their hosts were equally flabbergasted at the turn of events.

By the way, there were 312 seats in the parliament. It needed 208 seats to make 2/3 in order to form a government with simple majority. A coalition of NCNC and AG cannot form 2/3 required to form a government. Also, coalition of NPC and AG could not give 2/3. Therefore the natural scenario was a coalition of NPC and NCNC to achieve more the simple majority of 215 to form a government.
