Between El- Rufai and Shehu Sani

The protracted feud between the two most important elected representatives of the people in Kaduna State has become a matter of concern for those who mind.

The feud between Nasir El-Rufai, the Governor and Senator Shehu Sani has been a recurring decimal. However, what is despicable in the whole issue is the verbal warfare and the resort to violence. The unprintable names the central senator has used in describing the governor leaves much to be desired.

Considering his claim to revolutionary representation and the esteemed institution he represents, many people are actually taken aback when a distinguished senator calls his governor names such as “parasite,” “a bug”, “an excrement”, etc. This, in my opinion, is on the extreme.

Whoever decided to drag political thugs to destroy people and structures in the Comrade’ s campaign office has committed the greatest harm to public peace that was temporary achieved after the violence that characterised the campaigns of the last elections.

This is a frightening dimension that all well-meaning citizens of the state

should unequivocally condemn. The perpetrators of this dastardly act must be fished out to face the full wrath of the law.

Leaders of the state, if we have any, should find a more mature avenue to find a lasting solution to this intractable wrangling that will not do us any good. The APC leadership in the state is too partisan to make any difference. The national exco is in mess or worse.

That is why I appeal to non-partisan senior indigenes of the state to intervene and bring these two highly respected representatives of our esteemed institutions to have respect for themselves and the institutions they represent by giving peace a chance. Remember, peace has no substitute.
