The remarks have generated outrage, especially on the social media
Mr El-Rufai was addressing a group of Muslim clerics in Kaduna after his party, the All Progressives Congress , was declared the winner of the governorship election.“Why did I pick Dr Hadiza Sabuwa Balarabe to be my deputy in 2019? First, I did a thorough calculation that most of those that are not Muslims don’t vote for our party . Most of them. So, why should I give them the deputy position? I did my calculation and I knew we could win the election without giving them . That’s first.
“Of course, Kubau voted for us the most , so I’ll add something to Kubau because they voted for us. What I’ll give Jaba, I’ll increase it for Kubau because Jaba didn’t vote for us. But we’ve given them their entitlements.
