Islamisation: Sharia Council tackles CAN over El-Rufai’s comment
Kindly share this story:
The former governor, who made the revelation during a meeting with some Islamic clerics on the eve of his final day in office, said the Muslims voted for the APC during the last election. The CAN’s statement infuriated the Sharia Council through its state Secretary, AbdurRahman Hassan, in Kaduna on Sunday, declaring that the Christian Association would have shut up, and follow the line of Honour! If it had known.
The statement added, “For the past one week the Christian Association of Nigeria Kaduna State Chapter has been wagging tongues accusing the former governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasiru Ahmad El-Rufa’i for making some statements as far as CAN is concerned, simply because he aired his view on the political realities of Muslim-Muslim ticket.
“The Muslim Ummah has been tolerant enough, if not, there is no way, a Muslim Dominated state like Taraba, will be governed by a Christian. If a plateau state with a population of over 35per cent Muslims were denied the Deputy Governor slot, why should Kaduna State with a Muslim population of close to 75 per cent not have Muslim-Muslim ticket?
