El-Rufai Fire Back NSA, Kaduna Government – Still Talk Say Dem Dey Settle Bandits With Money

Former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir el-Rufai, don fire response to the National Security Adviser (NSA) and Kaduna State Government (KDSG) after him Sunday interview for Channels Television. For wetin e call Part 1 of 3 to the government accusation say e dey politicize national security, El-Rufai talk say the talk wey come from the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) and Kaduna State na just hot air wey una fit expect. E talk, “As e dey normal, the combined voice of Kaduna State Government and ONSA no want answer the main thing wey I talk, dem just dey try shift the blame by talk say if we expose them, na politicizing security. If ONSA dey think say Nigerians no dey watch how dem dey manage terrorism and banditry for Northern Nigeria and other places, especially how dem dey work with one senator wey from the North too, then na time to check their work well well.”

El-Rufai still talk say no be first time dem dey talk about how government dey grease the hands of bandits for Kaduna, Katsina, Zamfara, Sokoto, Niger, Kebbi and other states. E say, “No matter how ONSA no sabi security, dem no fit pretend say dem no see video and audio wey traditional rulers, community leaders and religious leaders dey condemn the money government dey give bandits.” People for those states don dey hear the back and forth talk between community leaders and clerics about government payment to bandits. E add say, “We talk for the mouth of people wey suffer from banditry and terrorism for Nigeria. Them dey pain as ONSA wey suppose dey manage intelligence quietly, dey carry themselves do public relations with politics, and dey waste the country money and damage our society. Government suppose support our military and security people with better things like staff, equipment and technology, no be to dey pamper bandits. Wetin be this ‘negotiation with bandits’? Why to dey use non-violent method mean say government dey withdraw big money from state treasury to give bandits? Who dey carry this money and how much dem dey keep before dem give bandits? Who be the biggest buyers of expensive houses for Abuja in the past two years and where dem get all this money? These be the questions people want answer, but ONSA and KDSG officials just dey do propaganda and waka go foreign trips!”
