The Nation Newspaper Kwari: Caught in Web of Sani/El-Rufai feud
, has gone sour. As the crisis escalated, there have been fears over the fate of the deputy governor and other aides who hitherto served under El-Rufai. ABDULGAFAR ALABELEWE gives an insight into the unfolding drama in the key Northwest state.
It was against that backdrop that the former governor used the state power to deny Hunkuyi and Shehu Sani the return tickets to the National Assembly. He then handpicked his close ally and Political Adviser, Malam Uba Sani and his Commissioner of Finance, Suleiman Abdu Kwari to replace Shehu Sani and Hunkuyi.
Speaking at a Capacity Enhancement Workshop for Senior Government Officials in Borno State, on May 8, 2024, El-Rufai said he had only visited Kaduna five times since he left office. He said: “I only visited Kaduna five times since I left office almost a year ago. I don’t want to be a godfather and that’s why I don’t interfere in what is happening in Kaduna; I want him to learn and get the job by himself.
Sami’s outburst without doubt caused some friction within the ruling party; it immediately divided the party into two camps. The incumbent governor’s camp however appears to hold the ace; aside from being in control of power, the camp is larger than the other. The El-Rufai’s camp parades majorly former commissioners and aides who are not just displaying loyalty to the former Governor, but are angry that they did not make it into the list of Uba Sani’s appointees.
