May God Punish Shehu Sani, Hunkuyi, Danjuma La’ah – El-Rufai

Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has rained curses on the three senators representing his state at the National Assembly.

The senators – Shehu Sani, APC, Kaduna Central; Suleiman Hunkuyi, APC, Kaduna North and La’ah Danjuma, PDP, Kaduna South – had weeks back blocked a $350 million loan request by the Kaduna government.

The state had sought to get the facility from the World Bank but the federal lawmakers rejected the request on the premise that obtaining the loan may put so much pressure on the management of the state which presently has a debt burden of $232.1 million.

Speaking on Friday at the official handing over of party flags to the candidates of the All Progressive Congress (APC) ahead of the local government elections in the state, el-Rufai described the lawmakers as the enemies of democracy and bad omen to Kaduna state.

The event, which was attended by thousands of supporters, was held at the Kaduna Township Stadium.

“The senators from the state who worked against the World Bank loan are useless; they came out and said this loan should not be given. What is their reason for rejecting the loan? It is because they are haters of the masses in Kaduna state,” the governor said.

“If a road project is initiated in your town, they don’t want it to be completed. If we start renovating a hospital, they don’t want it to be completed. If five schools are renovated and 10 are remaining, they will not want the remaining 10 to be renovated.

“Today, there are no haters of the masses of Kaduna state like Shehu Sani, Suleiman Hunkuyi and Danjuma Laah, God will curse them. God will reward their wickedness against the masses, may God never bless them.”

Speaking further, el-Rufai commended members of the state House of Assembly for backing the government’s request for the loan.

He said: “May God bless our members of the State Assembly for their support and pay them back in returns, and may God return them back to their seats.

“They have showed that they are bastards who don’t know their roots and must be shown that they have no roots in Kaduna.

“When it is time for election, they should be shown through the ballot papers that they are not wanted to go back to Abuja.”

John Oyegun, APC National Chairman, Zainab Ahmed, Minister of State for Budget and National Planning, were among the dignitaries at the event.
