Former Governor, El-Rufai's Speech Confirmed How He Supported Killings, Violence In Kaduna – Christian Association, CAN ChieftainA former national executive of the Christian Association of Nigeria , Evangelist Kwamkur Samuel, has said that the immediate past Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, confirmed that he supported the terrorism and violence in the state.
El-Rufai in the viral video had told the Islamic scholars that he nominated a fellow Muslim as his deputy in 2019 because he knew they would win the election without the votes of Christians in the state.Reacting to the former governor's address, Evangelist Samuel in a press statement described the address as"vituperations against the Christian community and non-Muslims in Nigeria."
"Firstly, El-Rufai in his speech, wondered why he should give ‘them’ a deputy governor when most of ‘them’ cannot vote for his party." "This outburst reiterates his extreme fanaticism and displays his ignorance of what constitutes justice, equity and fair play. "He boasted that the Islamic dominance in Kaduna has been successfully replicated in Nigeria and it shall continue. He said further that the victory of Asiwaju has silenced the Christian Association of Nigeria.
"The definition of Justice, equity and fairness is hinged on providing platforms for the involvement of all regardless of their population, religion and tribe.
