Human rights activist, Aisha Yesufu, has blasted the immediate past governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, for sharing a critical piece against President Bola Tinubu on X.
The piece was authored by US-based Nigerian professor of journalism, Farooq Kperogi.
In his weekly column, Kperogi had
accused Tinubu of governing Nigeria with a Lagos mindset.
Kperogi cited critical appointments made by the President in the economy, which according to him favours mainly people from the South-West.
According to the scholar, Tinubu chose to dominate the economy with people from the South-West the way former President Muhammadu Buhari loaded the security sector with northerners during his administration.
While quoting the piece by Kperogi on his X handle, El-Rufai said two wrongs don’t make a right, adding that sensible inclusion trumps senseless exclusion.
Reacting to El-Rufai’s comment, Aisha Yesufu questioned whether the ex-Kaduna governor would have spoken out if Tinubu had appointed him ‘super minister’ as expected.
“Two wrongs don’t make a right but when a wrong is supported by sycophants like you all did, it becomes precedent for wrongdoers to justify their wrongdoings.
“Whatever Tinubu is doing today, he got the memo from Buhari and his supporters who wanted to kill many of us.
“You were one of those instrumental in Tinubu getting the critical number of votes he could use to rig the 2023 election and you gleefully supported him! If you were the super minister you hoped to have been and being patted by Tinubu like a lapdog I am convinced you wouldn’t be here sharing Kperogi’s article just like you weren’t sharing Dadiyata’s tweets when you were the dictator in Kaduna,” Aisha Yesufu said.
