Malam Nasir el Rufai, Kaduna State Gov. |
Kaduna
state Governor, Nasir El-Rufai has accused the Islamic Movement in Nigeria
(IMN) also known as the Shiites Islamic sect of refusing to recognize Muhammadu
Buhari as the President of the country as well as their failure to recognize
him as the Governor of the state.
El-Rufai gave the statement while speaking with journalists on
Sunday. He said that the group was outlawed by the state government because its
leader Sheihk Ibrahim El Zakzaky and members have refused to respect
constituted authorities and their activities amount to running a parallel
government against the state.
The Governor says the state received the report of the Judicial
Commission of Inquiry that looked into the clashes between the IMN and army
which concluded that the IMN poses a threat to the peace, security and good
governance of Kaduna State. “The IMN does not recognise the constitution of
Nigeria, they do not recognise Buhari as president of Nigeria, they do not
recognise me as the Governor of Kaduna state. Because they have their governor,
yes, they had, I think he was killed during the clash.” He said the IMN apart
from being an illegal religious organisation, was in the habit of harassing and
intimidating members of the public with impunity for several years.
