By Alex Uangbaoje, Kaduna

A faction of the All Progressive Congress party in Kaduna, known as APC-AKIDA, has vowed to fight the State Governor, Malam Nasir El-rufai to the finish over his antae peoples policies that has brought hardship on the people.

The party in a press conference on Monday, also passed a vote of no confidence on the man they described as a liar and having no regard and respect for institutions and citizens in the state.

Chairman of the party, Tom Maiyashi, added that “change project has only succeeded in producing a mega wrecking machine that has destroyed the Integrity of our party, and taken all of us to the slaughter lab.”

He accused the governor, of deliberately planning to destroy the peace the state currently enjoys by sacking 4,453 traditional rulers.

“This assault on traditional institutions taking together with many of the antae people policies of the administration are capable of throwing the state into another round of crisis that spiral into unimaginable destruction of community cohesion.

“The process for evolution of this policy defies all logic and common sense . There are a number of fundamental questions begging for answers; is it reasonable to sacrifice community peace and harmony simply on the feeble reason of wage bill?

“When our respected Royal Fathers were consulted what were expected to do; say no to fait accompli? And could it not have been wiser to subject the so called restructuring report to public debate and analysis before a final decision taken? He asked.

“The basic difference that an APC government should have distinguished itself from the past should be its attitude to the promotion of the dignity and welfare of workers, peasants, the youth, women and the less privileged in the society.

“Two years down the line, our people have only witnessed greater hardships, dehumanization and complete disregard to basic sense of humanity.”

Maiyashi, also revealed that the governor is planning to sack a number of Local Government workers teachers and other professionals, saying, “the people of Kaduna should be prepared for the worst is yet to come.”

He added that the only thing the government know how to do best, is “lies and lies even at the risk of destroying government’s own image. The governor has so much energy fighting to destroy his own political party that brought him to power.

“We wish to make it abundantly clear to our elders, our workers, peasants, youth and community leaders that, we either as members of the ruling party, or as citizens and critical stakeholders irrespective of party affiliation do not support the antae people policies of governor Nasir El-rufai and we will never do so.

“We put our communities and our elders on notice on this sensitive issue that the governor is actually aiming at pulling down the traditional institution in its entirety. Be warned.”
