Kaduna - Reno Omokri, a former presidential aide and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has accused the immediate past governor of Kaduna, Nasir El-Rufai, of spreading false information about his successor, Uba Sani, over security efforts.
The former presidential aide alleged that the former governor was frustrated over his inability to control the current administration in Kaduna and have influence on Uba Sani's government.

How many bandit leaders were killed under El-Rufai
Omokri alleged that no single bandit leader was killed, convicted or arrested during the eight years of El-Rufai as governor of Kaduna state.
The ex-presidential aide stressed that under President Bola Tinubu's administration, no less than 14 bandit leaders have been gunned down.
Omokri further argued that peace has returned to the north-central state and its neighbouring states since El-Rufai left office, adding that Nigerians no longer see photos of prominent persons taking pictures with heavily armed bandit leaders in public without consequences, as it happened under the immediate past governor.
Bandits on the run in Kaduna
He argued that bandits have stopped demanding ransom and rather, they are being killed, arrested, tried and convicted.
In his view, Tinubu's government has made significant progress in the fight against banditry in Kaduna and other parts of the north.
The former presidential aide then called on Nigerians to disregard El-Rufai's claims and described him as a frustrated person who was only seeking to discredit him.

El-Rufai speaks on friendship with Governor Sani
Recall that El-Rufai recently made headlines after granting his first media interview after leaving office, that he is no longer a friend to his successor, Uba Sani, stressing that a friend is someone who stands in for you during trying times.
The Kaduna state House of Assembly has also initiated a probe into El-Rufai's eight years of administration, leveling corruption allegations against the immediate past governor.
El-Rufai also alleged that the National Security Adviser was not his friend anymore and insisted that his ministerial nomination in 2023 was not rejected by the National Assembly because of security concerns. According to him, President Bola Tinubu changed his mind about his nomination.
