No official of Kaduna State will go to Abuja for any meeting with FGN or NLC – Elrufai

By Gabriel Udeh

The Kaduna state government has rejected the offer of the Federal Government to mediate on the conflict between it and the NLC.

In a release by Muyiwa Adekeye Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Communications noted that the Kaduna State Government was yet to see evidence that the NLC is backing off from its campaign of economic and social sabotage against the people of the State.

“Electric power is yet to be restored, after it was shutdown at dawn on Sunday, 16th May 2021, in brazen violation of the laws protecting essential services and infrastructure.

That action removed any basis for state government officials to meet the NLC last Sunday. Denying our people electricity about 18 hours to the advertised commencement of their organised sabotage was akin to putting a gun on the government’s head. Government has a lawful duty not to indulge blackmail” He said. .

It said that restoring electricity was vital to relieving some of the pain that needless acts of lawlessness have inflicted on the people.

It stated further that “The unimpeded provision of essential services is vital to civilised order. Those who have disrupted it should promptly reverse themselves, not expect that it will be a matter for negotiation, much less being viewed as a precondition.

KDSG will not participate in such a negotiation or countenance one whilst our people are still being denied their right to electricity” It concluded.
