While in private conversations, with difficulty, Bantex would accept irrational kdecisions by the government, but would quickly tell confidants that all decisions were taken collectively and absolve Governor el-Rufai of all faults j. In the history of Southern Kaduna, there was no politician that defended the position of a government he was part of even at the risk of attracting anger from his people than this son of a cleric.
There’s no doubt that Bantex’s attempt to market APC encountered hurdles more from the party’s unfair treatment of the southern zone than the alleged hatred shown by the Southern Kaduna people for the APC. It is still strange that a zone that had given 40 percent to the APC in 2015 would later be treated in a demeaning manner. More than six years of the el-Rufai administration, there has been more of horror and sorrow than rule of law.
Within a span of seven days, no fewer than 100 were massacred, 12 villages decimated and 90 percent of Atyap land deserted as villagers fled to Internally Displaced Person camps in Zangon Kataf LGA for safety. Like all mortals, the late Bantex may have had his fault, but his courage in treading a path less travelled in envisioning a new world stood him out. He was never afraid of dreaming of a distant future wherein the collective survival of the people was assured. A greater challenge facing the southern zone is never to allow those who don’t mean well for the area to sell the false impression that we are bigots, when in reality they carry their own bigotry as proud badges.
