The North West Vice Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Alhaji Inuwa Abdulkadir, on Wednesday said he was not surprised by the demolition of his residence in Kaduna allegedly on the orders of Governor Nasir El-Rufa’i.
Abdulkadir told the News Agency of Nigeria in a telephone interview that the governor had sometimes back threatened to take such action against him.
The APC chieftain said the governor had made the threat in the presence of six other governors from the North West.
Abdulkadir said: “I am not surprised by his action, it is a political vendetta.
“But I will not make further comment because the case is already in court.”
NAN reports that officials of the Kaduna State Urban Planning and Development Authority backed by the police demolished the four-bedroom duplex on Wednesday.
The officials had claimed that there was no official permit for the erection of the building.
NAN reports that Abdulkadir and El-Rufa’i had been having running battle over the internal crisis in the state chapter of the APC.
The North West office of the party had quashed the suspension of Senator Shehu Sani and asked officials of the party loyal to El-Rufa’i to abide by the directive.
The APC has also mandated Governor Aminu Masari of Katsina State to mediate in the crisis, but the move is yet to bear fruits.
The Special Adviser to the governor on Media and Communication, Muyiwa Adekeye, declined comment on the matter.
Adekeye said that only KASUPDA could respond appropriately on the propriety of its action.
