Senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, on Tuesday
said should the state government continue with its “seeming anti-people’s
policy,” the All Progressives Congress, APC, will lose the state during the
2019 election.
Addressing journalists shortly after he received a complaint
from traders on Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s plan to demolish the famous Kasuwan
Barci Market in Kaduna, Sani said some of the policies implemented by the
El-Rufai’s government were making people to lose faith in the party.
Sani called on the state government to shelve plans to
demolish the market famous for its textile and second hand clothing.
He stated that demolishing such market with 4,800 shops at
this time of hardship would spell doom for thousands of families.
According to Sani, “The anti APC policies of the
administration in Kaduna state is sending people away, many people now only
have faith in Buhari not in the party any more.
“Most programmes of government in the state are not in
favour of the people and if it continues, APC will pay for it.
“The current administration’s policies are only designed to
please some certain group of people in the state.
“I identify with the pains, concerns and fears of the
traders and I appeal to the governor to think twice with a human heart over the
issue.
“We promised to deliver change to the country and as
democrats, whatever we will do, we need to consult and carry the people along.
“We cannot treat people with arrogance and insolence and
expect them to trust us again.“
