“El-Rufai personally drove a bulldozer to destroy my house”- Senator alleges
A Senator representing Kaduna North, Suleiman Hunkuyi has accused Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai of demolishing his house.
Senator Hunkuyi said on Tuesday via his twitter that the governor “personally drove a bulldozer accompanied by armored tanks to destroy my house at 11B Sambo Road.”
“This is a new low and fighting dirty with such low level of pettiness is indeed unprecedented in Kaduna State,” he said.
There has been rancor within factions of the APC party in the state and some factions subsequently moved from the headquarters along Ali Akilu road with claims that they wanted to avoid the activities of thugs.
The ‘APC Akida’ and the ‘Restoration APC’ factions moved to a new building Thursday and on Sunday, announced the suspension of El-Rufai for six months.

El-Rufai’s suspension was, however, overturned by the party executives loyal to the governor on Monday. The executives claim that the Senator Suleiman Hunkuyi-led faction had no such powers.
The building has now been pulled down.
Hunkuyi further said in one of his tweets, “It is on record that few months back, Governor El-Rufai marked another property of mine in Hunkuyi town for demolition but residents of the area prevented the officials from demolishing it. Today, he came well prepared with military men to destroy my house at Sambo Road.”
