El-Rufai’s apology vindicates our cries over killings in Kaduna – CAN

The Chairman of the Kaduna State chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Rev. Joseph Hayab has stated that Governor Nasir el-Rufai’s apology over the latest killing of 51 people in the state, has vindicated CAN’s cries over banditry and kidnapping, which had led to the death of innocent souls in the state.

Governor el-Rufa’i had during his visit to the affected communities of Igabi and Giwa Local Government Areas on Monday, apologised to residents of communities over the attack.
Hayab said, the governor has vindicated the CAN’s cries that the state is not safe.

He argued that the governor had just begun to see for himself the extent of the security challenges bedeviling the state.

“It is only when our leaders are beginning to ignore bad advisers around them that all is going to be well with the people just to keep their jobs going without giving true advice to those in authority with what is happening with the man in the street, we will never get it well in this country.”

Hayab maintained that their cries were often interpreted that CAN, as a body was merely playing politics with security of lives and property of members.
He said that the government and its agents had always claimed that the Christian body was crying wolf over the security challenges characterised by kidnapping and killings in the state.

He said the body of Christ won’t cease from offering constructive criticism to the state for development, adding that Christian leaders would continue to pray for the leaders of the country to have a fear of God in their approach to governance
