Borno South Senator Ali Ndume has said for the US lawmakers to indict former New Nigerian Peoples Party, NNPP, presidential candidate, Rabi’u Kwankwaso as fundamentalist means something may be fishy somewhere.
Ndume said this on Friday while fielding questions in an
interview on ‘Politics Today’, a programme on Channels Television.
He expressed shock that Kwankwaso’s name was mentioned,
stressing that he wants to know how the former Kano state governor got
implicated or mentioned.
Recall that United States lawmakers initiated a
new bill aimed at increasing accountability for human rights abuses in Nigeria.
The legislation, Nigeria Religious Freedom and
Accountability Act of 2026, contains provision for potential sanctions against
Fulani militias and former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso.
Reacting, Ndume said, “What I’m sure is that this is a bill
introduced that has gone through both first reading in both the Senate and the
House. I’ve been trying to get my hands on the copy of the bill and what it
contains but it’s not yet in the public domain, but it is only when I get the
details that I can react.
“In the summary, I know that the bill is recommending
sanctions and even visa ban and confiscation of assets and all that.
“For them to mention Kwankwaso, I think something may be
fishy somewhere Nothing to worry about, if somebody is actually clean.”
