Temitope Ajayi, Senior Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Publicity, has accused former Kaduna Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, of plunging the state into insecurity and division during his tenure.
In a Facebook post on Wednesday, Ajayi said the most significant achievement of Uba Sani, the current governor of Kaduna, was restoring peace and security in a state he claimed was left in turmoil by his predecessor.
His words: “The most important achievement of Governor Uba Sani in the last two years is how he has been able to build elite consensus to restore peace and security in Kaduna state.
“Governor Sani has been most successful in the management of the state’s diversity by charting a path different from the belligerent legacy of his predecessor that polarised the state and created humongous insecurity for the 8 years he held sway.”
Ajayi, who is part of the presidential media team attending a civic engagement in Kaduna organised by the Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation, acknowledged el-Rufai’s efforts in building infrastructure but said those gains were undermined by the atmosphere of fear and conflict his administration allegedly fostered.
“While the achievements of Nasir El-Rufai, his immediate-past predecessor, in areas of physical infrastructure cannot be denied, Governor Uba is also building on them and expanding them further,” he said.
