Kaduna State Governor, Nasir el-Rufai, on Tuesday cleared the air on the emergence of Dr. Hadiza Balarabe, his Muslim running mate for the 2019 governorship election in the state.

The governor, who received in audience the people of Sanga Local Government Area who were at the Sir Kashim Ibrahim Government House, Kaduna, on a thank-you visit for picking their daughter, said the choice of his running mate was based on competence and performance.

He explained that under his administration, there was no room for religious or sentiments in deciding who to appoint into any office in the state, the Punch reports.

“Muslim-Muslim ticket is not a religious ticket but a competent and performance ticket,” the governor said.

El-Rufai had told critics of the Muslim-Muslim ticket that the Government House was not a place for worship but where people work.

The governor added that most of his Muslim-Muslim ticket critics were those who did not vote for him in the 2015 governorship election in the state.

“The people that have criticised me most on this are people who never voted me in the first place. So, are they not supposed to be celebrating it?

“In their own opinion, I have made a wrong choice. Then, why are they mourning?” he asked.

Earlier, the paramount ruler of Numana in Sanga LG where Dr. Hadiza Balarabe hails from, Brigadier-General Aliyu Yamma (Rtd), said the choice of their daughter had given them the hope of being in government.

He sad successive administrations had forgotten the people of the area as far as participation in government was concerned.

“The governor couldn’t have made a better choice than the selection of Hadiza.

“We now feel a sense of belonging in Kaduna government. We are just like Black Americans in Kaduna State,” he said.

... black americans in Kaduna


as in, Thug niggas with guns.. Hellrufai fulani brothers

What an insult to KD Christians as this terrorist just called all of them incompetent.

The terrorist midget clearly wants no opposing voice in his government, as he butchers the Christians and completely Islamizes the state.

Bala Bantex his present deputy was always a torn on the midgets skin and even slapped hell Rufai once, no wonder he was tricked to accept a Senatorial slot in APC, just so El Rufai can finish his people peacefully.

Any Christian that votes the Midget will be signing their own death warrants, as that demon is so desperate to be the face of terrorism in Nigeria after his Chief Dullard eventually kicks the bucket, and intends to use KD to prove he deserves the title.

Weak defence from the religious bigot

Its up to Kaduna voters to decide, fayose and his deputy were both Christians same as plateau and taraba and everyone were matured about it, with more than 80 different political parties, if APC wants a Muslim Muslim ticket, democracy allows you to choose a Christian Christian party. Besides few politicians in Nigeria are truly religious, they mostly serve money,power and black magic

u dont need to explain ur reasons for being a bigot....we understand

These are the kind of persons Sarrki and co are spending sleepless nights to praise
Hell' Rufia is a satanic agent known in Nigeria today...so divisive!

So, there is no competent Christian in the whole of Kaduna State?

We know what you are up to man, we know! Everybody knows, and it is commonly in the news!

Only in Nigeria will someone talking foolishness with boldness. "Competent and performance ticket". The fact is dt there are more Christians in Kaduna than muslim. They are fighting tooth and nail to keep relevance (through violence and bigotry)

You don't need to answer anybody.

Anambra is a Christian/Christian ticket and nobody is telling the Press why it's so.

So just follow what suits your state and gives you political weight.

ELRUFAI those that are criticizing are mostly from Potopoto republic not even your state.

Carry go

Imo people erect statue of Oshiomole in Owerri for helping them to stop Rochas from installing his Son in-law as Governor

Do you know that reading comments is even more interesting than the post itself .... in case you are with me just hit like or join me here ...

Where is Buhari!

Why do I get the feeling that it's Hell Rufai that writes Buhari's speeches? His excuse sounds just like what the dullard would say!

Who knows
Who cares
Who wants to know
No one gives a phuck!

Am just passing

Shame to this bigot

The reason is open and clear
you're a biased, selfish, stupid and useless authoritarian leader
