The Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has compared the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi, to boko haram terrorists and the killer Fulani armed bandits,
Governor El-Rufai said that the boko haram sect and bandits are different from Kanu, because they do not have a recognised and centralised Leadership.
The Governor said this in an interview with BBC Pidgin, on Friday morning.
Asked about handling boko haram terrorists and bandits with the same swiftness, Governor El-Rufai said: “No! No! No! No! People are comparing apples to oranges.
“Nnamdi Kanu is the Leader of IPOB, a proscribed organisation. He is identifiable in constant communication, and everyone knows where he is.
“Let us take boko haram, for instance. Shekau was in hiding, and for the past 10 years, and the Military had been waging war to get him.
“It is not like Shekau was in Saudi Arabia, sitting in one place, tweeting about the breakup of Nigeria, or asking boko haram to go and kill Helen and Nasir El-Rufai.
“Nnamdi Kanu is in one place, while Shekau is waging guerrilla warfare. The insurgency is still going on and the Federal Government is not giving up.
“Regarding bandits, they are not centralised under one Leadership. Who is the Head of the bandits? Who is the equivalent of Nnamdi Kanu with banditry?
“Bandits are just collections of independent criminals. It is a business for them. It is not a case of ‘Nigeria must break up’.
“I want to challenge anyone to tell me the Central Leader of bandits in the same position as Kanu
