The former Kaduna Central senator, Shehu Sani, has alleged that Muslims and Christians in the state are set up against one another for political gains.
This comment was following the state’s erstwhile governor, Nasir El-Rufai’s remark in a viral video where he told his audience that in the course of the electioneering campaigns, when “they” tried to ask questions on why the Muslim/Muslim ticket, he deceived ‘them’ that it was not for religious dominance when in reality, the tickets both nationally and at the state level were for Islamic dominance.
He further said that the victory of Bola Tinubu as President had silenced the Christian Association of Nigeria, adding, “I will sustain an Islamic-dominated government for 20 years and unending not only in Kaduna State but in Nigeria at large. Sani in a tweet on Wednesday, however, said he had read the reactions that trailed the video and it is nothing new.
