The viral video of former governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasir el-Rufai on how he suppressed Christians has prompted the Southern Kaduna Leadership Council
The elders appealed to president Bola Tinubu to revisit the 2014 conference report and create another state out of Kaduna.
In a statement issued by the chairman, Southern Kaduna Leaders Council, Ishaya Akau said el-Rufai’s viral video was an eye opener and call on the federal government to create Gurara State. “We hereby wish to let the nation and international community know of the heinous plans and to draw the attention of the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to the 2014 National Constitutional Conference where it was agreed to create Gurara State from the present Kaduna State and to invite the president to activate the demand which has gone through the constitutional process of obtaining the consent of two thirds of the 36 Houses of Assembly in the Federation.
“The nation and international community should know that the Southern Kaduna region was recorded to have above three million people by 2006, and present projections show that there are now above six million people in the area. The total land size of Southern Kaduna is above 26,000 square kilometres. Southern Kaduna is larger in population than 21 states in population, and larger in land size than 26 states in Nigeria.
