Senator Shehu Sani criticizes former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai for his stance on President Tinubu's alleged nepotism, referencing El-Rufai's silence during Buhari's tenure.
Former lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani , has criticized the immediate past governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasir El-Rufai , for his recent comments on allegations of nepotism against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Farooq Kperogi, a US-based Nigeria n professor of journalism, had accused Tinubu of governing Nigeria with a Lagos mindset, claiming Tinubu favors Southerners economically, similar to how former President Muhammadu Buhari allegedly favored northerners in the security sector.
Former Governor El-Rufai shared Kperogi's post on his X handle, stating, 'Two wrongs don’t make a right,' advocating for sensible inclusion. Responding to El-Rufai's post, Sani, who represented Kaduna Central Senatorial District in the 8th Senate, wrote, 'There were people who were silent when Buhari was appointing his kinsmen to political positions and now have found their voice to speak out when the equation doesn't favor them.' He directly referenced El-Rufai, saying, 'Let's not make reference to the nepotism that marginalized Southern Kaduna for eight years. Kaduna was an apartheid state for eight years.' Sani argues that anyone can criticize Tinubu regarding alleged lopsided appointments or nepotism, but not El-Rufai
