Elrufai to Kano Governor Kwankwaso "Jonathan is not your friend"

Controversial former minister of the FCT, Malam Nasir Elrufai, has accused Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of planning to attack pro fuel subsidy protesters in Kano and warned him that President Jonathan is not his friend.


Elrufai who has been very active on Twitter has taken to retweeting insults at President Jonathan and this has come to be expected by Nigerians on Twitter, however, many Nigerians on Twitter are at a loss to what Ekrufai is trying to do by publicly telling the Governor of Kano that the President is not his friend. Many of those who follow him are worried about his use of abusive words against the person of the President.

Elrufai was also circulating the false rumor that the President had travelled to South Africa in the heat of the fuel subsidy removal and the attendant tension it brought. But it turned out that Elrufai had been propagating propaganda as the President did not travel and was actually at Eagles Square on live TV launching the Mass Transit Scheme he had promised Nigerians in his speech on Saturday the 7th of January.

As usual, NaijaPundit exclusively brings you those tweets.





Acknowledging the disinformation going on on Social Media, President Jonathan at the Eagles Square launch of the Nass Transit Intervention scheme said “ There (are) a lot of mischief makers going around to misinform Nigerians, especially through social networks, the Twitter, bb, Facebook and others, to communicate very wrong things to Nigerians. Even as I am here with you, people are saying that I am in South Africa with about 100 Nigerians. But that is Nigeria for you. There is a lot of wrong information that is being pumped into the system.

I used to admire the 2 Mallams that were in the center stage of OBJ's administration but what they have become recently is worrisome to many Nigerians. I am yet to understand the genesis of these attacks from El-Rufai even with corruption charges against him. Are we sure he is not sponsoring Boko Haram?
