2023: El-Rufai exhibited patriotism – VON DG, Okechukwu
The Director-General of the Voice of Nigeria, Mr. Osita Okechukwu has commended Malam Nasir Elrufia, Governor of Kaduna State, “for honourably and patriotically joining the advocacy for the continuation of the rotation convention which midwifed the 4th Republic Nigeria.”
Reacting on Monday, Okechukwu told DAILY POST that “I am impressed when I read in one of the national newspapers, Malam Nasir El-rufia’s support for the continuation of the rotation convention which midwifed our 4th Republic and no doubt cemented equity, natural justice and good conscience. I sincerely commend and thank him immensely.”
Reminded that Malam Elrufia didn’t mention which of the south the rotation should go to, Okechukwu said, “the most important thing is that Malam Elrufia as a major political actor, foremost northerner, foundation member of the APC, and a Buharist, joining the agitation for continuation of the rotation convention of presidency from north to south is a vital plus, plus.
On the issue raised by some prominent politicians like Isa Funtua that Ndigbo are not in the mainstream and are agitating for secession, and therefore should not count themselves when the issue of president is being discussed, Okechukwu insisted that “The southeast or Ndigbo are core foundation members of both the APC and PDP, so nobody should use that as an excuse. We are uncountable in all the political parties and have eminent members.
