We also recall that Senators Shehu Sani, Suleiman Hunkuyi (both APC) and Danjuma Laah (PDP) representing Kaduna central, north and south respectively had rejected the loan on the grounds that Kaduna is the second most indebted state in the country.
Hyat, who spoke in Hausa language while apparently responding to El-Rufai's curse said: “We don’t insult people because we have respect for the government house, but I want to tell you that we are proud of our three senators in the national assembly who stopped plans to shortchange the people.
“May God bless them. Anybody who cursed them, may the curse return to the person – Holy Ghost power, Holy Ghost power, Holy Ghost power.
“Senator Laah is from Southern Kaduna, we know his origin, we respect him and we are happy with him. Anybody who is not happy with you, should be patient because that is the will of God.”
Going further, he declared that: “In this state, the PDP will not only chase out hunger, we will chase out insecurity.
“Yesterday (on Saturday) in Birnin Gwari our people were killed. Every week, our people are being killed and the government keeps on promising to ensure security, which type of security?
“We will not curse them, but we pray to God,” he added.
