Fall Down And Die, El-Rufai Tells Critics

“If you are not happy with appointments made, you can go and climb Kufena mountain,  fall and die."

That was the outburst from Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai yesterday when he was inundated with questions about appointments into his administration which critics described as lopsided.

The governor has been much criticised for appointing his family members and friends, among them, non indigenes of Kaduna State into juicy positions.

While fielding questions from stakeholders during the 4th town hall meeting with Kaduna Central, El-Rufai said that he could not give appointments to those who did not vote for him.

His words ;
“It was what you voted that you got, because we are aware that there are people who did not vote for us. In fact they worked against us.

“But now they claim to be APC members and loyal to the party. We know such people. And so there is no way they would expect anything from us."

General Dismissed And Jailed For Losing Equipment To Boko Haram.

The Nigerian Army has dismissed and handed a six months jail term to Brigadier- General Enitan Ransome-Kuti for the loss of military equipment to Boko Haram during the January sack of the Multi-National Joint Task Force, M-NJTF Headquarters in Baga.

Ransome-Kuti was court marshaled for cowardly behaviour, loss of weapons to Boko Haram, and negligent performance of military duty under section 62b of the Armed Forces Act.

Following a no case submission by the defendant, the court dismissed the charge of cowardly behaviour. It ruled that the defendant was right to withdraw his troops in the face of the superior fire power of the insurgents. 

He was however convicted for the charges of loss of equipment and negligence of military duty.

For losing equipment to Boko Haram, the court jailed him for six months while the charge of negligence of duty earned him dismissal from the service.
