Kaduna Will Be Great Again - 336 By George Makeri

"...I want to thank you for your support over the past year, and to assure you that we have used every day in office to do what we pledged to do to make Kaduna great again, to remake our state by enabling its government to do its primary duty of serving the people and improving their lives..."

- El-Rufai 30 May 2016

The service and improvement of lives the silent majority are getting under El-Rufai are the banning of hawking without giving the affected persons an alternative employment, demolition of settlements in Alhudahuda Zaria and now Gbagyi Villa without providing alternative settlements and giving notifications that get citizens hypertensive resulting to even death, the upward review of tax amidst the rising cost of living, the massive sack in the civil service and its ripple effect on dependants, the non-payments of the newly recruited teachers and KASTELEA workers, the general insecurity that has taken a new dimension with kidnapping added to the menu, the inflation of contracts, the fraudulent free feeding programme, the blatant nepotism and religious bigotry and etc. All of the above is the governor's way of serving the people and improving their lives.


Thus anything the governor does is sacrosanct including justifying the continual massacres of the Southern Kaduna People and victimising SP James Ashafa for repelling the 2 August 2016 Godogodo murderers through the ACP Ibrahim Abubakar. And refusing to deploy troops on time and cajoling the interim chair to dance to his satanic music. Those who question the governor's hypocrisy were immediately seen as the blackmailers, the vocal minority who want government settlements and automatically demonised by El-Rufai and his stooges. Dr John Danfulani questioned El-Rufai and he was victimised, suspended and incarcerated. The Doctor eventually resigned from the school. Though the court has finally dismissed the suit filed by the state government and KASU for lack of merit, some of us insist that Dr. John Danfulani needed to sue for damages given the unjust incarceration and victimisation he suffered from the State Government. The SOKAPU youth wing president, Nasiru Jagaba had to also resign from government employment after going vocal against the system and staged for victimisation. Rumours has it that the government is planning to victimise Jagaba like it did against Dr. John Danfulani even as Jagaba is no longer in government employment.        
Clearly, Governor El-Rufai is using whimsical sacks to intimidate and blackmail state workers into perpetual silence amidst the poorest working condition. Government workers are psychologically conditioned to work under pressure and continual intimidation and terrorism given that they no longer have job security with a governor that will not hesitate to yank the bread from off their mouth as revenge for any form of criticism.

All of the above and even more are the governor's selfless service to the people and improvement of the people's lives in the governor's great quest of making Kaduna Great Again.
