The youth President of the Southern Kaduna People’s Union, Isaac John, speaks to GODFREY GEORGE about the insecurity ravaging the region and what he feels the government should do to arrest the situation
The situation in Southern Kaduna is beyond what is being described as conflict and banditry; it is pure genocide. As we speak, the state government, led by the Governor Nasir El-Rufai, has not done anything. There are over 30 Internally Displaced Persons camps in Southern Kaduna alone. This is as a result of hundreds of people being displaced from their community as a result of this insecurity. Government has not done anything to ameliorate the sufferings of those IDPs in the camps.
In southern Kaduna, for example, when these attackers come to perform their evil enterprise, they go further into the farms and destroy our crops. The few ones left, herders will bring their cattle to feast on them. Our women can no longer go to their normal marketplaces where they transact business for fear of being attacked. So, the situation is that bad.
There was a time he took his child to a public school and later went to remove him, saying he withdrew the son because of the insecurity in the state. He is the governor. Who should tackle insecurity in the state if not him? Who is he complaining to? You remove your child from school; other people’s children don’t matter, right? That is so selfish of him. That is the message he is sending to us.
