The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF) has said that the demolition of the headquarters of a faction of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kaduna State by Governor Nasir El-Rufai was a sign of political intolerance and a recipe for chaos.

In a statement released on Wednesday, the group said as stakeholders in the nation’s political development, it would not keep quiet and watch an individual’s political ambition throw the state into turmoil.

“We note with deep concern that this is the second time El-Rufai will allow political intolerance to get the better of him. These, combined with his numerous unapologetic and hurtful public utterances are in no small measure harmful to the spirit of civil engagement in every democracy the world over.

“Nigeria and indeed the entire democratic world should hold El-Rufai responsible for any untoward incident resultant from his growing impatience and intolerance to opposition.

“This time around, El-Rufai must be made to pay compensation for the destruction from his own account. It will not be acceptable for public funds to be used in settling his wanton destruction,” the statement said.

The Kaduna State Government had on Tuesday morning pulled down a one-storey building belonging to Senator Suleiman Hunkuyi at Number II B, Sambo Road,Kaduna which he had donated to be used as headquarters by the ‘Akida’ faction of the APC in the state.
