Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir el-Rufai has come under attack from a group of elders in the state, the Kaduna Development Elders Initiative, as they have lamented that the state under el-Rufa’i is sinking, calling on the governor to urgently change his style of administration.
The elders, rising from an executive meeting in Kaduna, said they resolved to continue advising el-Rufa’i for the state to experience physical and human development.
This was contained in the communiqué issued and signed by the groups publicity secretary, Alhassan Balarabe Musa, saying that el-Rufa’i’s promise of making Kaduna great again is a mere wishful thinking.
“Kaduna is now sinking into a quagmire of neglect and inaction,” the communiqué said.
“The people of Kaduna State deserve better than what is being given to them now and the sooner the governor realizes that the better. He should, therefore, change his gear now,” it stated.
The communiqué further said that civil servants and pensioners have been in agony due to what it called “endless verifications exercise,” resulting in the withholding of salaries for many months.
