Ex-Aide Accuses El-Rufai of Funding Bandits, Worsening Insecurity
Ex-aide Kure accused Governor El-Rufai of worsening insecurity by allegedly using taxpayers' money to pay bandits and herdsmen in Kaduna State. Kure claimed that such payments incentivized further violence, leading to a 100% increase in insecurity.
He contrasted this approach with President Bola Tinubu's administration, which focused on dialogue and community involvement to address violence. Governor Uba Sani's government was commended for not giving money to bandits.
The accusation highlights the debate over the effectiveness of ransom payments in tackling insecurity and the differing strategies employed by political leaders in addressing the issue.
