Governor El-Rufai of Kaduna State
has been warned to bury his plan to demolish Dunamis church buildings and other
Christian structures in the state.
The United Muslims for Peace and
Good Governance, which gave this warning, said El-Rufai was starting a battle
that may consume him.
The Kaduna State Urban Planning
and Development Agency (KASUPDA) recently wrote to individuals, businesses and
religious organisations in the state, asking them to provide title documents of
their properties.
The development came few months
after Dr. Paul Enenche, the Dunamis Senior Pastor spoke brutally against the
killings in the state, particularly the abduction and murder of the paramount
ruler of Adara Chiefdom, Agwom Adara, His Royal Highness, Maiwada Raphael
Galadima
The governor, who was apparently
angered by Enenche’s outburst, vowed to deal with him.
Few months after his comment, the
governor ordered KASUPDA to go after the church.
Addressing newsmen on Wednesday,
in Kaunda, the National President of the group, Kabiru Ibn Mohammed, said
El-Rufai was only fighting a lost battle.
“Gentlemen of the press, we deem
it necessary again to address you on the sad development going on in Kaduna
State.
“You could recall that last
December, we drew the attention of the Nigerian community through the fourth
estate to Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s constant attacks on clergymen and fellow
politicians in the country, with special focus on the governor’s threat to
arrest and prosecute Pastor Paul Enenche of Dunamis for alleged hate speech.
“Apparently unable to ‘get’
Enenche as promised, El-Rufai has resorted to using the Kaduna State Urban
Planning and Development Agency to harass Christians in Kaduna to provide their
properties’ documents.
“This is too petty and
undemocratic of a leader, to say the least.
“The governor has been displaying
his utter disdain for Christians in Kaduna and has refused to listen to the
wise counsel of his brothers in faith.
“The timing is sending a message
that the governor is all out for a vendetta.
“As brothers in faith, we have
constantly warned the governor to desist from his politics of bitterness.
“It is even more sad when lawful
agencies allow themselves to be turned into political instruments of vendetta
against perceived opposition figures.
“The case of El-Rufai in Kaduna
is going out of hand and he must be called to order.
“We call on leadership of the All
Progressives Congress, President Muhammadu Buhari and other Muslim leaders to
call El-Rufai to others to stop what he’s doing.”
