A former Aviation minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, on Saturday said the Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai insulted Christians in the state by picking a Muslim as his running mate for 2019 election.

Governor El-Rufai, a Muslim, had on Friday announced that he will be running for second term with Hadiza Balarabe, another Muslim.

However, the former minister described El-Rufai’s action as divisive and insulting.

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, chieftain explained that the Governor’s action was wrong because 50 per cent of people in the state are Christians.

In a tweet, Fani-Kayode wrote: “It is wrong, divisive, dangerous, provocative and insulting for Nasir El Rufai to field a Muslim/Muslim ticket in the governorship election in a state like Kaduna in which 50% of the people are Christian and in which thousands of Christians were butchered over the last 3 years.”

Very clear

Christians in thr north should.enjoy their One Nigeria.

The man has a point sha. Anyway, it's left to the christians of kaduna to decide if they want jihadis running their affairs

Hell Rufai

There are two things involved here:

1) It's either El'Rufai has written the result of Kaduna guber election and sent same to INEC, or

2) He's tired of the governorship seat.

I'll put it out here, as plain and simple as possible. There is no man born of a woman that can defeat El-rufai in Kaduna state, in a free and fair election.

Hausa Fulani have conquered all those who they used to fight the Igbos during the way

They have planted a caliphate in the South west and have taken over the Northern Christians.

The current deputy Governor is a Christian so I would like FFK, Reno and anyone who gives a f**k about the religion of politicians to please explain how the current deputy Governor being a Christian affects the poor man on the street.

and with a few languid strokes of the pen, you have abandoned the northern christians to their perilous fate.

without doubt, you ARE yoruboid.

always espousing the mantra: "one nigeria", yet never ready to take part in the "heavy lifting" that comes with patriotic nation building.

folks have long seen thru you guys hypocrisy. kwantinue!

For real?

Is that how popular he is?

You think he still win even after loosing the votes of 11 local governments peopled by Christians?

He can make his choice. The people via elections have to approve

Awol1:

Igabi, Zaria and Makarfi local governments are are equal to those 11 local government.

Ahmed Makarfi is from Makarfi. Has he become so politically irrelevant?

Those who voted for Nasiru El-Rufai , where are they now? How come it didn't occur to you that maybe, Christians in Kaduna actually brought this up on themselves. See , there is a proverb that says " when a people do not cry out against injustice , then they should be ready to suffer in silence ". The people of Kaduna have voices ; let them cry out (if they can ).

You to vote someone else who has what you are looking for, how hard is it, must well tell Christians everything? Is he the only candidate in Kaduna. He is not forcing you to vote for him. This country will slit up by religion soon start looking for an alternative place to relocate to in the south.

God bless Nigeria.

Foolish kaduna Christians.

Stay with your One Nigeria.

BiafranJesus:
Foolish kaduna Christians.

Stay with your One Nigeria.

What do we igbos actually want? Today we are campaigning for biafra and tomorrow we are for Atiku and Obi.

be gone, I say, be gone.

and even if they had priorily voted him in when he used islamist taqiyya and a christian deputy to con them, is that reason enough for you to abandon your "fellow christians" in their darkest hour? are you not aware that the incumbency factor is what that snake hell rufai is banking on to sideline the northern christians?

mr man, as I said, the whole country is now aware of the hypocrisy of you guys which you guys erroneously qualify as "smartness". una shake-down is not afar off. kwantinue!

You are daft. Enjoy una one north and continue enjoying fulani masacre.

In Benue, Plateau we’ve have Christian/ Christian in power and nobody complained... Come to SS/SE Same thing... Fayose and Hoe Deputy are Christians... Even The last Ekiti Eleka picked a Christian... FFK will never know peace for trying to cause problems between people who are living together

Benue is a predominantly Christian state, all the states where you would see a Christian/Christian combo are predominantly Christian, what FFK is saying here is that kaduna is a secular state, hence should have it's religious demography represented as such in the government.
my problem with this state governor is that he's blatantly trying to make Christians in kaduna 2nd class citizens..

ATankado:
Muslims need to have full control of power in the entire north, and that is how it ought to be. The remaining states (Taraba, Plateau and Benue) that have christains as head will also fall to the Muslim ummah soon. It is well proven that Northern Christains don't the intellectual capacity to rule, thus the reason power must change hand. All they do is fornicate around and drink alcohol. How can sane people hand over the helm of affairs to those kind of people? It's both pathetic and disgusting. Someone that gives 10% of his earning to a private jet flying pastor while he/she languish in poverty, is not only insane, but morally bankrupt, intellectually inept, and should never be trusted with power.

God bless MURIC.

So you're trying to find reasons to justify your "born to rule" mentality.

You got registered on Nairaland in October 2018 and you have been busy vomiting senseless and terrorist bullshit like an omo eran! If there is some coins left in your almajiri alms plate, borrow some more and buy yourself a brain or grow up if you have one.

MURIC should be an advocate of peace and if your types are what MURIC stands for then they have either gone to the dogs or they are the opposite of "salam" which is the islamic greeting. Is your own Islam a religion of peace or religion of war?

Your excuses about states predominantly by Christians does not hold Water... what is good for the Goose is also Good for the Gander.. If it is good for Ekiti,Ebonyi and other states to field Christians as their Candidates, then We should not complain about Kaduna doing the same thing.... Is Ekiti not a Secular State? Or you want to tell me that the Muslims in Benue and Ekiti are not up to 35-40%?

Mad drug addict face your state and leave Kaduna to solve their problems.

Let me state it loud and clear that el-rufai will loose the election.the whole of samaru,sabongari jiyelisu all in Zaria will not be vote for him.mando and kawo as well as kaduna south in the metropolis will not vote for him.kuzuntu,pambegua ,makarfi ,hunkuyi all in the North will vote for him.Then the remaining 11local government in the south including zanga where his new deputy comes from will not vote for him.may be he will pack his back and move to okene where I learnt his grandfather came or to Zaria his abode if El zaky people will allowed him

This is a bold move by El Rufus. I will respect him if he does not back out when PDP pick a Christian from Kaduna south as running mate .
Will El Rufai win a free and fair election? If he is banking on rigging, he will be terribly disappointed as those he think are supporting him will abandon him at the last minute. 2019 will be interesting

In your wildest dreams a Muslim Terrorist will never (mark my words) smell the government house not even a deputy governor.

Not even a plateau Muslim . . . No body has the Monopoly of violence. We will match you blood for blood, violence for violence . . .
