It was gathered that El-Rufai’s memo to the president stated that terrorists were forming a “parallel” government and “permanent operational base” in the state.
Senator Sani, however, questioned the proactiveness of Governor El-Rufai in the northwest region.
He compared the response approach of other states to insecurity to that of Kaduna, stating that Kaduna is way below par with some states in the provision of adequate support to combat insecurity.
Senator Sani said:
“The Kaduna government has not done well in tackling the insecurity and no (adequate) support for the security agencies operating in the state and some of his (the governor) utterances have made the terrorists move into Kaduna.
“The governor is not proactive to security in terms of support, the security situation could not have been to this level if the governor and his colleagues in the affected states use the available resources of their state to help the security agencies.”
