Senator Sani in a statement signed by his Adviser on Politics and Ideology, Suleiman Ahmed, reprimanded Governor El-Rufai for the continuous arrest of journalists criticise his government.

According to the statement, the Kaduna governor has arrested about 7 journalists in the state who have criticized his administration one way or the other.

The statement reads: “Journalists in Kaduna state are under siege; blackmailed, arrested, pocketted or threatened with arrest and as such could not have written such a story.

“El-Rufai jails journalists like Pinochet or Stalin. He is a man with a mouth for criticism but without a stomach for criticism.

“In his two years in office he has jailed not less than 7 Journalists in Kaduna of which many are in court. Kaduna state is run like a personal family and friends estate without any meaningful physical achievement other than sponsored media propaganda.

“El-Rufai has enough money to pay Herdsmen but no money to pay district heads. Kaduna is today littered with abandoned drainages to the point that the rainy season has turned Kaduna into a ‘coastal state with creeks’.

“He is auctioning over two thousand Government houses he inherited but he is yet to build a hut.

“The Kaduna state Governor who in his memo accused President Muhammadu Buhari of running a failed Government, has failed also woefully.

“He thinks PMB failed but he never invited PMB to even commission a completed Toilet in his state. Under El-Rufai, Kaduna has become a hub of Kidnappers and a sanctuary for Herdsmen.

“The very Governor who once condemned the National Assembly for lack of transparency has proven to be worse. El-Rufai wants to be seen as an apostle of Buhari’s change but he is actually the Judas of change.”
