The Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has been accused of trying to set the state on fire.
This is following the Governor’s choice of a Muslim as his running mate for the 2019 election.
Governor El-Rufai, a Muslim, had on Friday announced that he will be
running for second term with Hadiza Balarabe, another Muslim.
Reacting to this, Reno Omokri, a former aide to ex-President Goodluck
Jonathan, noted that such decision could set the state on fire.
In his tweets on Friday evening, Omokri said, “Is @Elrufai trying to
set Kaduna on fire? How can he, a Muslim, name Hadiza Balarabe, another
Muslim as his running mate?
“In an untra sensitive religious state like Kaduna, it is vital to
balance the ticket to give Christians a sense of belonging so that peace
reigns.”
