The 2023 Labour Party Vice Presidential candidate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, has accused the former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, of inflicting pain and hardship on the people of the state during his tenure.
Specifically, Baba-Ahmed said El-Rufai can not run away from the challenges of insecurity plaguing the nation because he was part of it during his time in the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking on Tuesday during an interview on Channels Television, the LP chieftain accused the ruling APC of using insecurity as a political tool.
Addressing recent allegations by El-Rufai that the government is paying bandits, Baba-Ahmed maintained that the former Governor is part of the guilty party and can’t absolve himself from any blame.
Naija News reports that he added that, along with many others, he suffered during El-Rufai’s tenure as Kaduna State Governor.
“El-Rufai cannot run away because he is part of it.
“My grudge with Nasiru’s statement is that he was part and parcel of the APC from 2013. Like he told you, he was one of the architects of it all. All of a sudden, to come and absolve himself and call others, no. Nasiru is part and parcel of all that has been going on. We suffered, we are victims of Nasiru’s misrule in Zaria.”
“I am in so much pain, believe me. Nigeria should be a great country, yet we have people destroying us by the hour. Insecurity has been part of APC’s game, and Nasiru is saying it.
“I think he is right, the government has been paying them. Insecurity has been the APC’s way of staying in power. That is my candid, firm opinion, strengthened by the kind of unfortunate comments like that of Nasiru,” he said.
