Governor Nasir El-Rufai engaged in bants last night while reacting to
a video shared on Twitter by popular comedian Teju Babyface.
In the short video from a 2010 interview with the comedian, Governor
El-Rufai said he used to be secretary-general of the short people
association. He also shared some challenges he had before getting over
not being tall enough.
The Kaduna state Governor said in the interview;
“I used to be the secretary-general… at a point at my teenage years,
in my early 20s I had big issues with my height because you know all the
pretty girls turn out to be taller than me.“But with time, I got over it. I managed to get a pretty and intelligent woman to marry who was an inch shorter than me.”
Reacting to a video of the interview after it was shared by Teju
Babyface, Governor El-Rufai jokingly described Vice President Yemi
Osinbajo as the current chairman of the Nigerian Association of Short
People.
He tweeted;
Yes…..I remember this @Tejubabyfacetv interview in 2010…..how
time flies….HE VP Osinbajo is the current chairman of the Nigerian
Association of Short People….so we are represented at the highest
echelons of governance! Thanks Teju
