TonyeBarcanista: THE BRAZEN ACT OF MARGINALISATION OF CHRISTIANS IN KADUNA STATE BY GOVERNOR ELRUFAI
By Tamunotonye Inioribo @TonyeBarcanista
Kaduna state, a beautiful state located in the heart of the northwest, is popularly referred to as a miniature Nigeria. This is because the state has a sharp religious demographical spread of Islam and Christianity adherents between the northern and southern zones of the respectively similar to what is obtained in Nigeria.
Muslim-Christian Demography Kaduna has 23 local government areas spread across the northern senatorial zone, central senatorial zone and southern senatorial zone. Twelve of these 23 local government areas are predominantly Muslims while eleven are predominantly Christians. The state is also constitutionally divided into three senatorial zones, namely; northern, central and southern zones.
The northern senatorial zone, also called zone 1, consists of eight local government areas namely; Ikara, Kudan, Kubau, Lere, Makarfi , Sabon-Gari, Soba and Zaria local government areas. Of the eight local government areas in this zone, only Lere local government area is predominantly Christian, while the other seven are predominantly Muslims.
The central senatorial district, also called zone 2, is made up of seven local government areas namely; Birnin-Gwari, Chikun, Giwa, Igabi, Kaduna north, Kaduna south and Kajuru local government areas. All of these seven local government areas are predominantly Muslims except Chikun and Kajuru local government areas that are predominantly Christians.
The southern senatorial zone, also called zone 3, is made up of eight local government areas. They are; Jaba, Jama'a, Kachia, Kagarko, Kaura, Kauru, Sanga and Zango-Kataf local government areas. All these eight local government areas in this zone are predominantly Christian.
The official population of Kaduna state was put at 6,113,503 with spread as follows; Northern Zone (Zone 1) Ikara LGA -194,723 Kubau LGA - 280,704 Kudan LGA - 138,956 Lere LGA - 339,740 Makarfi LGA - 146,574 Sabon-Gari LGA - 291,358 Soba LGA - 291,173 Zaria LGA - 406,990 Total: 2,090,218 Central Zone (Zone two) Birnin-Gwari LGA 258,581 Chikun LGA - 372,272 Giwa LGA - 292,384 Igabi LGA - 430,753 Kaduna North LGA - 364,575 Kaduna South LGA - 402,731) Kajuru LGA - 109,810 Total: 2,231,106 Southern Zone (Zone three) Jaba LGA - 155,973 Jama’a LGA - 278,202 Kachia LGA - 252,568 Kagarko LGA - 239,058 Kaura LGA - 174,626 Kauru LGA - 221,276 Sanga LGA - 151,485 Zangon-Kataf LGA - 318,991 Total: 1,792,179
From official population as seen above, the Muslim predominant north has 2,090,218, the central zone has 2,231,106 population and the Christian predominant south zone has 1,792,179 population, but there is no official fact to ascertain the true population of Christians and Muslims in the state. Nonetheless, the state governor, mallam Nasir Elrufai, a Muslim from the northern senatorial district, argued that the religious demography in the state is 70-30 in favor of the Muslims. The Southern Kaduna Peoples Union (SOKAPU), the umbrella body of the predominately Christian southern Kaduna people, put the religious demography at 50-50. While neutral observers posited that the religious demography in Kaduna state should be between an evenly 50-50 spread, or a 55-45 spread favor of the Muslims.
Political Marginalization Under Governor Nasir Elrufai Despite the predominance of the Christian population in eleven out of the twenty three local government areas, the Kaduna state government under Governor Nasir Elrufai, a Muslim, chose to perpetuate a brazen act of marginalisation by excluding the state's Christian population from participating in the affairs of the government since the commencement of his second term. For the first time in the history of Kaduna state, no Christian is found in any of the principal positions across the three arms of government and the civil service.
Governor Nasir Elrufai started the marginalisation in 2018 when he broke the traditional Muslim-Christian ticket or Christian-Muslim ticket in any gubernatorial contests to nominate Hajiyya Hadiza Sabuwa Balarabe, a fellow Muslim as his running mate for the 2019 gubernatorial election after his former deputy, Arc Bala Bantex, a Christian, opted to run for the Senate to represent the people of Kaduna south senatorial district under the platform of All Progressive Congress.
After his victory at the hotly contested Kaduna state 2019 gubernatorial election against Honourable Ashiru Kudan of Peoples Democratic Party, Governor Elrufai shut out Christians in the state from the running of government. This he did by ensuring that only Muslims are appointed as senior principal officers in the government. This is aside the fact that himself and the deputy governor are Muslims.
The principal government officers are; Secretary to the State Government - Mallam Balarabe Abbas Lawal Chief of Staff to the Governor - Muhammad Sani Abdullah Kaduna state Head of Service - Hajiyya Bariatu Yusuf Mohammed Principal Private Secretary - Dr. Salisu Suleiman.
No Christian Among The Entire Presiding And Principal Officers In Kaduna House of Assembly The marginalisation continues in the legislative arm of government with no single Christian as a member of any of the presiding and principal offices . The Speaker of the House, Honourable Yusuf Tanimu Zailani, the Deputy Speaker Honourable Muktar Isa Hazo, the Majority Leader Alhaji Haruna M A Inuwa, the Chief Whip, Alhaji Idris Abdullahi, the Deputy Majority Leader Alhaji Shehu Yunusa and Deputy Chief Whip Alhaji Salisu Isah, are all Muslims. Meanwhile, the clerk of the Kaduna state House of Assembly, Bello Zubairu is also a Muslim. Also The Judiciary... The head of Kaduna state judicial arm of government and Chief Judge of the state, Justice Muhammad Lawal Bello, is also a Muslim. As if that is not enough, the only two ministers from Kaduna state in the cabinet of President Muhammadu Buhari, Zainab Ahmed, the minister of finance, and Muhammad Mahmoud, the minister of environment were chosen from the Muslim population.
The development in Kaduna state is indeed a bad omen. It is bad that a state with significant Christian population that are predominant in eleven out of the state's twenty three local government areas, has no senior principal government official across all the three arms of government of the state. What is more disturbing is that Governor Nasir Elrufai, the perpetrator of this brazen act of religious marginalization in Kaduna state, is aspiring to run as presidential candidate at the Nigeria's Presidential election at the termination of his second term in 2023.

chrisagyei: imagine that a country of 200 million people testing 23 thousand people, recording 4,600 cases and 150 deaths aside the over 500 dying on the streets like pigs with Ghana ,a country of 30 million people testing 160,000 people, recording 4,600 cases and just 22 deaths. Tell me why won't your fulani warlord leaders take you for a fool.
Our achievements are that we have 24/7 electricity even in our villages, our universities are full of Nigerians who run to us paying dollars just to attend our universities, our cedis is dollars to you that emeka will come and sell recharge cards and earn 200 cedis, send it to his mama in Nigeria who will convert to thousands of naira which will take care of the family for months. Why do you think millions of Nigerian youths hussle on the streets in Ghana. We are 100 times more peaceful and safer than your zoo.
Our homes are connected with water that we don't need borehole for water. Government provides well treated pipe birn water for its citizens who pay their water bills in return. We don't have boko haram,kidnappers,fulani herdsmen,cultists,armed robbers etc controlling our communities ,in fact i can write 10 pages of how Ghana is far better than your zoo. We are going to get 10 pages of your stupidity and foolishness. Your useless country Ghana is better than Nigeria yet none of your cities is among the development cities in west Africa. Abuja is 100 times developed than that nonsense Accra. You are not a normal person you behave like those village idiot who have never step out of their hunt.
