I Never Slapped My Deputy − El-rufai by 240naija(m): 6:50pm On Mar 30, 2016

El-Rufai
Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai has denied slapping his Deputy, Barnabas Bala.
The governor said both of them had been good friends since they attended Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria in Kaduna State several years ago.

El-Rufai said he had known his deputy since 1976 at ABU and that nothing had ever led them to fight.


The root of alleged physical combat between El-rufai and Bala was that the Governor and the deputy have been having a cold war over alleged plans by the governor to sack top civil servants in the state.

But El-Rufai, in an interactive session with select journalists, simply laughed over the allegation, saying that the rumour mongers were not intelligent enough.

He said if such incident occurred, there would have been video or photo evidence of the fight by some executive members of the State councils, “because nobody is prevented from entering the meeting with his or her phone”.

El-Rufai said, “I have known Bala Bantex since 1976, I never had an argument with him, I respect his opinions, and each time I travelled out of the country, I make him an Acting governor, he signs documents on my behalf.


“We chair executive council meetings together, we operate like partners, and now people want to create enmity between us. I am of age, I can’t descend so low. This rumour is completely false, it is created to cause division.

“We never discussed retrenchment of workers in the state as claimed by the rumour mongers.

“I have never slapped anyone in my life. I have never argued with Bala, I don’t slap people, I fight people with mouth,” El-Rufai said.

PDP's understanding of opposition politics is throwing silly lies around. They really need to learn how to engage the ruling party constructively in terms of ideas and alternative suggestions.

Shame nor even catch you to deny that your fellow man knack you better slap and you fainted. The executive members has to resuscitate you with bottle water. Even kids are making jokes of how the midget somersaulted and landed gidigba for floor.

So because you are in KD right now that makes this crap to be nothing but the truth?


Anyway you can believe whatever you want to, that wont change the warm relationship that exists between the governor and his deputy, as far as they are concerned you are nonentity.

Both Bantex and El Rufai have denied the allegations, I can conclude they either have resolved whatever it is that happened and neither is looking to gain the advantage or it never happened. I'd go with the latter

Who believed them in the first place?

Same people that were spreading that "news" were the same people that told us about:

1. Edo spidermen school kids that turned out to be a picture taken from Cameroon.

2. The Ekiti state HoA member that died in DSS custody after which his ghost was rewarded with a brand new car by the thugnor for keeping his mouth shut and pretending to be sick.

3. Vladamir Putin and Benjamin Natanyahu threatening Nigeria with nuclear war if they don't release the Albino in Kuje.

4. Donald Trump saying Buhari's agenda is to exterminate people from the old Eastern region. (This particular one always gets me rotflamo grin )

Believe them at your own peril.
