Kaduna state university lecture pens open letter to governor

A lecturer with the department of Political Science, Kaduna State University (KASU), Dr John Danfulani, has written to the Governor, Malam Nasir Ahmad El-rufai urging him to convene a town hall meeting in the Southern part.

Nasir el-Rufai- Governor of Kaduna state.

Pulse gathered that since assumption of office on May 29, 2015, El-rufai initiated a town hall meeting but has not attended any in Zone 3 Senatorial District also known as Southern Kaduna.

The governor said recently at a zone 1 town hall meeting that he has created about 125,000 jobs. He also made a comment that received condemnation at a Zone 2 town hall meeting in October last year that anyone that was not happy with his policies should go climb Kufena Mountain and fall.

But in an open letter addressed to El-rufai, Danfulani urged the governor to organize a similar meeting in Southern Kaduna so that the people of the area can have the opportunity of asking him some questions.

“I beseech Mr. Governor to convene similar Town Hall Meeting (THMs) in Southern Kaduna because we also need to hear directly from His Excellency on issues like:   State Security Council Resolution on Hate Speech; Executive Bill before Kaduna State House of Assembly censoring religious preaching; APC's disregard for existing power sharing formulae in the state that started in 1999; and school feeding programme of primary school pupils. These and dozens other (un)easy questions are ready for Mr. Governor,” Danfulani said.
