The presidency has accused former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, of double standards in his position on negotiations with bandits.
Presidential spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, in a post on X on
Monday, described El-Rufai as a “master of ambivalence.”
He alleged that the former governor once spearheaded the
payment of bandits in a bid to restore peace but now criticizes such measures
for political reasons.
He said: “Malam Nasir EL-Rufai is the master of ambivalence.
Once upon a time, he supported and led the way in paying bandits to calm them.
Today, in the name of politics, he opposes it.”
El-Rufai has in recent weeks openly
disagreed with the Bola Tinubu administration over its approach to tackling
insecurity, particularly its stance against negotiating with terrorists and
bandits.
His comments had sparked mixed reactions, with the
government accusing him of spreading falsehood.
The Tinubu government said it has consistently maintained
that it would not pay ransom to the bandits.
