Under Buhari, the leaders of the Executive, Legislature and Judiciary, as well as the heads of the Defence Ministry, Attorney General of the Federation, Army, Police, NSA, DSS, NIA, DMI, DIA, NPS, NCS, NIS and EFCC, and the NNPCL, NPA and FAAN, the three biggest revenue generators of the Federal Government, were all simultaneously Northern Muslim men.
Did Nasir el-Rufai complain? No. Instead, he was busy kneeling to Buhari in public!
This is a man who lied that the Christian Association of Nigeria was behind Boko Haram. Please fact-check me.
The lies he is peddling about President Tinubu’s Yorubanisation of the government are coordinated. It is not coincidental that they are coming at the same time as the lies from the Nigerien junta leader, Abdourahamane Tchiani.
There is no Yorubanisation of government under Tinubu. El-Rufai is just bitter. Just as his own wife said to her son when he said something similar.
Hadiza El-Rufai asked her son, Bashir, “Would you say this if your father was in government?”
I direct the same question to her husband.
The so-called Yorubanisation or Yorubacentricity of government under President Bola Tinubu is a myth. And if anyone chooses to push this discredited theory, Nigerians should not just accept broad accusations without data and statistics.
Ask that person to provide stats. If they cite a sector, they should give Nigerians a regional breakdown of everybody in that sector rather than making broad statements to paint a manipulative narrative that is neither creative nor supportive of our national growth.
If you re-arrange the letters that make up El-Rufai, you will get failure. And failure is what he will get in this his new misadventure.
People like el-Rufai should think twice before destabilising Nigeria. If they destroy the bond between the North and the Southwest, they will also put the glue that holds Nigeria together in disarray.
