The demolition of a building which was being used as the secretariat of a faction of the APC in Kaduna state will mar the party’s peace effort, spokesman of the party said on Tuesday. Governor Nasir El-Rufai is alleged to have ordered the demolition of the building in the early hours of Tuesday.
“This kind of situation will make things a little more difficult for those who now have the responsibility to bring people together,” Bolaji Abdulahi said during a political programme on Channels TV. The Senate has condemned the act.
But Director-General of the Kaduna State Geographic Information Service (KADGIS), Ibrahim Husseini, said the building was brought down as part of an exercise to rid the state of illegal structures, tackle street trading and restore order across the state. But Abdullahi said the APC leadership will resolve the crisis.
“It shouldn’t have happened but it has happened now so what we are going to do as the National working committee of the party is to see how we can look beyond the immediate pains and ensure that justice is done and be able to rebuild from here.”
