The Senator representing Kano Central Senatorial District, Senator Rufai Sani Hanga, has called for a robust separation of powers among all organs of government, stressing the need for the executive to allow the legislature to function independently.
Senator Hanga made the remarks during an interactive session with journalists in Kano, where he spoke extensively on governance, security, and his contributions to his constituency. He emphasized that his efforts in Kano Central have been “enormous,” citing projects and initiatives he has facilitated.
Commenting on recent developments in Benin Republic, Senator Hanga described the change of government there as “unfortunate,” adding that as a politician and democrat, he hopes such undemocratic actions fail. He urged Nigeria to strengthen its democratic institutions and ensure that governance reflects true democratic values.
The lawmaker criticized the President for not allowing the National Assembly to operate freely, noting that many ministers have failed to discharge their duties effectively. “That is why the President is choked up,” he said, urging better coordination between the executive and legislature.
On the withdrawal of police protection from VIPs, Senator Hanga argued that the President was ill-advised. He explained that members of the National Assembly are among the most targeted individuals and VIPS should have been provided with alternatives before such withdrawal.
Senator Hanga strongly opposed the creation of state police, warning that it could lead to abuse of power by governors. “Creating a state police means creating a police state where governors will use them for intimidation,” he cautioned. He further noted that both the police and army are already grappling with unpaid salaries, questioning the practicality of introducing another policing structure.
He revealed that 19 governors had backed the idea of state police, suggesting that their support may have been driven by panic rather than sound judgment.
Highlighting his contributions to Kano Central, Senator Hanga disclosed that he had proposed the establishment of a Federal University in Kura, which is awaiting presidential assent. He also announced plans to launch a programme in partnership with Kayi Bank to empower his constituents, particularly women.
According to him, Kano Central is the most populous constituency in Nigeria and faces numerous challenges, including a high rate of out-of-school children. He explained that his empowerment initiatives are designed to address these pressing issues.
Senator Hanga stated that he will not contest in the next election, declaring that he feels fulfilled with his service. “I am not going to contest the next election. I am fulfilled,” he said
