Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai said
on Tuesday night that he has never quarrelled
with, nor slapped his Deputy, Barnabas Bala.
The governor said Bala has been his friend
since they both attended Ahmadu Bello
University, Zaria in Kaduna State several years
ago.
While the governor had First class honours,
studying Quantity Survey, his Deputy, graduated
with First Class honours in Architecture from
the same Ahmadu Bello Unversity, Zaria.
Reacting to the rumoured fight between him
and his deputy, El-Rufai said he had known his
deputy since 1976 at ABU and that nothing has
ever led them to fight.
The root of alleged fisticuffs 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.
The governor explained that if the alleged
fisticuffs took place in the executive meeting as
portrayed by the rumour mongers, 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.
