El-Rufai also described those accusing him of sponsoring the crisis as “mischief makers.”
The governor made the comments on Tuesday, January 31, while receiving the Senate ad hoc committee on the Southern Kaduna Crisis at the Government House.
“The reason the crises has continued unabated is because those involved have neither been punished nor prosecuted in the 35 years. People are making money from the crisis and politicizing it for personal gains. So we hope this committee will see the reality on ground and not what is been bandied around,” the governor said.

“I am not an ethnic jingoist or a religious bigot. Those who accuse me of sponsoring the crisis are just mischievous; no governor wants crisis in his state,” he added.
Meanwhile, controversial preacher, Apostle Johnson Suleman has urged El-Rufai to produce the Fulani herdsmen he allegedly paid to stop the killings.
