- According to Sani, anyone can castigate President Tinubu on issues of alleged skewed appointments or nepotism, but certainly not El-Rufai
Former lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani, has excoriated the immediate past governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, over the allegation of nepotism and favouritism against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
El-Rufai had in a recent comments made via his social media handle alleged that the Tinubu’s NNPCL appointments were nepotistic in nature.
Farooq Kperogi, a US-based Nigerian professor of journalism, had accused Tinubu of governing Nigeria the way he ruled Lagos State.
According to Kperoogi, Tinubu chose to dominate the economy with people from the South-West the way former President Muhammadu Buhari loaded the security sector with northerners during his tenure.
Former Governor Elrufai later shared Kperogi’s post on his X handle and wrote, “Two wrongs don’t make a right,” adding that sensible inclusion trumps senseless exclusion.
Reacting to El-Rufai ‘s shared post, Sani, via his X handle, wrote: “There were people who were silent when Buhari was fielding political offices with his kinsmen and have now found their voice to speak out when the equation doesn’t favour them.”
The former lawmaker, who represented Kaduna Central Senatorial District in the 8th Senate, overtly referred to El-Rufai, adding: “Let’s not make reference to the nepotism that marginalised Southern Kaduna for eight years. Kaduna was an apartheid state for eight years.”
According to Sani, anyone can castigate President Tinubu on issues of alleged skewed appointments or nepotism, but certainly not El-Rufai
