Whistle has been monitoring reports that the Governor of Kaduna state Mallam Nasir el-Rufai and his deputy, Architect Barnabas Bala Bantex had traded slaps during an argument at a cabinet meeting in the state.
According to a reliable source via a telephone conversation, the Governor and the deputy have been having a cold war over the plans by the governor to sack top civil servants in the state.
The governor who is embarking on a civil service reform agenda had decided to retire these top civil servants, who still had some years left in service but the deputy was said to have been disturbed and deeply uncomfortable with the situation.
The deputy governor had confided in his close associates that the list of top top civil servants marked for this retirement exercise reflected a majority of up to 70 per cent from the Southern Kaduna extraction.
During the cabinet meeting, the deputy governor bared his mind and told governor El-rufai he is not in support of the exercise, he said that he cannot control the backlash that will arrive as a result of that action. Arc. Bantex was quoted as saying “I cannot go home, they will stone me”
The governor had insisted that the decision was without prejudice and in the best interest of the state but the deputy insists that on equality as his constituency already feels marginalized.
At this point the conversation became heated between the Governor and his Deputy and words were traded between both leading to Governor Elrufai landing a slap on the face of his deputy.
The deputy governor was said to have immediately taken his seat and told the governor that since having arguments and counter views has earned him a slap, he thinks the right thing to do was to let everyone know and resign.
Governor El-rufai was said ti have retorted that Bantex cannot resign and continued the meeting.
The Deputy governor who participated as the meeting continued however surprised most cabinet members present as the meeting ended.
The deputy governor was said to have caught Governor Elrufai unawares and landed him a slap and pinned him before landing another slap on the governor while the cabinet members restrained him from beating the governor up.
The security details who were not present at the meeting rushed in and restored calm.
The cabinet members also intervened and attempted to broker peace between both. According to one of them, Elrufai apologized and pleaded that the matter should not to be discussed outside the cabinet.
The SA Media and Publicity to Governor el-Rufai, Samuel Aruwan is unreachable.

If this is true by the explanations from the op then am afraid to say that the Slap was a right part in the right direction El rufai own too much the next slap he will receive na holy ghost slap.

a majority of up to 70 per cent from the Southern Kaduna extraction.
God thats really bad.
marginalization?

The 'pinchomic' man again in the news doing what he knows how to do best. Putting tears in peoples eyes and causing pain.

How can you land a grown up man like you a slap because of a little argument? Mr deputy respect. If he didn't slap back, next time, the midget will slap him on both sides.

WATCHOVER:

If this is true by the explanations from the op then am afraid to say that the Slap was a right part in the right direction El rufai own too much the next slap he will receive na holy ghost slap.

Lol, could be the beginning of his doom. because I know that Kaduna Christians are praying seriously against him.

Ok this makes sense. El rufai sef is too stubborn. Why will u resort to physical altercation. Its good the deputy slapped him back to remind him he is a servant of the people not a king.

That said, I still think el rufai is very intelligent and has great ideas. His only problem is anger management and insensitivity to others. Residents of abuja today can testify that all the amenities we enjoying are those provided by el rufai tenure. Since he left, successive regimes have done absolutely nothing. But then again, hundreds if not thousands of people had to suffer immeasurably for abuja to become like this.

What are these leaders teaching our children?
Decisions should made to the best interest of the people. A good leader is supposed to consult those that elected him before making a decision that will affect them.

Am very sure in subsequent meetings, El-rufia will observe a minimum gap of 15 meters wen talking with d deputy gov..

Serves him right. Kudos to you Deputy Governor.

If u slap, I slap, if u beat I beat. I no go run anymore.

Official press release by bantex;





" I REPEAT! I did not fight with malam el rufai as is being reported by some chonggai haters in the media!

I only gave him a constitutionally approved "brain re-formatting slap" also known as "ibekun" in local parlance so as to ensure that the malam continues to focus on matters arising and does not deviate from his duties as the duly elected governor of the state in order to start trying his fathers mates such as i.



So please let these ridiculous stories of we had a fight be laid to rest! We are administrators and not "wrestlemania" participants. But the day we shall eventually fight I shall ensure that the "duka" I will give to the malam would ensure his swift death in the premises of the government house!




Thank you and may god, Allah or gandolf sef continue to bless "kada state"! Now with all due respect, gerrarahia men!
