“On the killings of Shiites today I urge Gov Uba Sani to remove Samuel Aruwan from his position as these deliberate policy of terror against Shiites is what he and his boss Nasiru Elrufai were known for. Leaving him in office is akin to reinstating a failure.
“Same way poor Kadalites (Kaduna people) are not being dispossessed of their means of livelihood like it happened in the past or displaced deliberately due to your in-depth knowledge and understanding of leading a state that isn’t poor, I urge you to also bring in a new person who has a different outlook on Shiites protests which is well within their universal rights.
