A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Plateau state, Samuel Kwamkur on Sunday cautioned former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai not to set Nigeria on fire using his utterances

Kwankur who is a former National Director of the Christian Association of Nigeria stated this at a press conference in Jos on Sunday.




He was reacting to statements allegedly credited to the former Kaduna State Governor in which he told his audience before handing over to his successor that the Islamic dominance in Kaduna had been successfully replicated in Nigeria and that it shall continue.

El-Rufai, he alleged, equally told his audience that in the course of the electioneering campaigns, when “they”(Christians ) tried to ask questions on why the Muslim/Muslim Ticket, he deceived ‘them’ that it was not for religious dominance when in reality, the tickets both nationally and at the state level were for Islamic dominance.

He said that in the video containing the speech which has gone viral on social media, El-Rufai further said that the victory of Bola Tinubu had silenced the Christian Association of Nigeria, adding that he will sustain an Islamic-dominated government for 20 years and unending not only in Kaduna State but in Nigeria at large

But Kwankur while reacting to El-Rufai’s outburst expressed disappointment at the utterances of the former Governor noting that the classification of the citizens of his state as ‘them’ versus us’ meant that the former Kaduna Governor cannot be exonerated from the wanton killings, demolition of houses and places of worship of Christians in Kaduna.

Kwankur said he was surprised that El-Rufai who was contemplated as one of the qualified persons to be appointed as the Chief of Staff to Mr President or Secretary to the Government of the Federation had turned himself into a confirmed religious bigot with a hidden agenda to destroy the country using religion.


He advised El-Rufai not to use his utterances to mislead Nigerians into thinking that President Bola Tinubu’s electoral victory was purposely to islamise Nigeria and nothing else.

The former National Director of CAN said “Ordinarily, I have heard Islamic clerics preach that Tinubu’s Muslim/ Muslim ticket is in furtherance of an Islamisation agenda, and despite that, I am one of those who contributed in discouraging Christians and Nigerians from accepting such as true because I believed in the antecedents and character of His Excellency Ahmed Bola Tinubu but hearing from a political leader like El-Rufai, a close associate of Tinubu and Shettima, an active participant in the campaign who was contemplated as one of the qualified persons to be appointed as the Chief of Staff to Mr President or Secretary to the Government of the Federation confirmed that there is a hidden agenda to be mindful of.

“In the said address, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai spoke like one of the religious bigots that have been working underground to set the nation on fire. Amongst his ill-motivated statements which I can only paraphrase for now, El-Rufai confirmed that he is a leader of the Islamic terrorist group operating in the Sambisa forest albeit disguising himself as a governor in a complex nation like Nigeria”

“Firstly, El-Rufai in his speech, wondered why he should give ‘them’ a deputy governor when most of ‘them’ cannot vote for his party. That he calculated and discovered ‘we’ can win an election without ‘them’ hence why give ‘them’ a deputy? From El-Rufai’s classification of the citizens of his state as ‘them’ versus ‘us’ one needs no angel to tell you that he cannot be exonerated from the wanton killings, demolition of houses and places of worship of Christians in Kaduna. Secondly, Mallam El-Rufai went further to state that Islamic dominance of government in Nigeria will bring peace, Justice and fair play. He assured the gathering that he will sustain an Islamic-dominated government for 20 years and unending.


“This outburst reiterates his extreme fanaticism and displays his ignorance of what constitutes justice, equity and fair play. Discrimination, ethnic profiling and all genocidal attempts to consume a race or religion constitute injustice and are recipes for anarchy and crisis.

“Thirdly, he told his audience that in the course of the electioneering campaigns, when “they” tried to ask questions on why the Muslim/Muslim Ticket, he deceives ‘them’ that it is not for religious dominance but in reality the tickets both nationally and at the state level were for Islamic dominance.

“He boasted that the Islamic dominance in Kaduna has been successfully replicated in Nigeria and it shall continue. He said further that the victory of Asiwaju has silent the Christian Association of Nigeria.


“The question is: is it only Muslims that voted for Asiwaju? Who voted for Atiku and Peter Obi? I guess it was only Christians! How could a sitting governor, former minister of the Federal Republic and a potential key government appointee be this callous and insensitive? I recall in one of my visits to a friend in Kaduna, he expressed his views about Mallam El-Rufai”s involvement in the killings in Kaduna and I kept arguing that he should be given the benefit of the doubt, but watching El-Rufai address the Muslim Umma, I have no doubt in my mind that Mallam Nasir El-Rufai is one of those behind the unending religious crisis and insecurity in Nigeria.”

Continuing, the former CAN official added “For the record, Christianity does not practice deception as a principle or mode of operation. The Holy Bible admonishes Christians to say the truth at all times. Christians are also taught unconditional love regardless of religion, region and background. In the Christian faith, the Holy Book frowns against religious discrimination and dominance. The definition of Justice, equity and fairness is hinged on providing platforms for the involvement of all regardless of their population, religion and tribe.

“We also believe that God is the giver of life and power; he gives to whoever He wishes and takes it at the time He so wishes. Hence boasting of any sort is an open challenge to God’s sovereignty. Being a member of the Nigeria Interreligious Council (NIREC), I have closely interfaced with respected Islamic leaders of high repute and found out that there are Muslim leaders, unlike Mallam El-Rufai who are deeply concerned about the peace, development, and growth of Nigeria without pretense.

“Truly speaking El-Rufai is a setback to the peace process that NIREC has been battling with in the midst of religious upheavals. Mallam Nasir El-Rufai has exhibited blatant misuse of the trust that God gave him and confirmed that he is an extremist who has largely contributed to the pains of the very people he took an oath to protect in the guise of working for his religion.”

He urged the former governor to use the NIREC platform tom promote unity.

“One would expect El-Rufai to take advantage of such meetings to discuss the achievements of his government in developing the state and taking his people out of poverty and insecurity but ney! He wants to be celebrated as a religious hero and a Jihadist of high repute. How can our nation grow with this kind of leader in authority? Let it be known to all Nigerians that those of us Christians who supported His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu did so out of sincere hope that both himself and his Vice will work to ensure the sustainable development of Nigeria through their policies, experience and exposure.

“It should be known that we did not vote Tinubu out of El-Rufai”s deception (Taqiya) as he claimed! It should be made known to El-Rufai that against his wild imagination of achieving an Islamisation agenda through the dominance and persecution of Christians, Christianity grows better in persecution and supposed dominance. We shall continue to preach inclusiveness, equity and fair play in the true sense of these words. We shall never practice deception to cling to power. No! It is against our faith! May I use this medium to invite Mallam El-Rufai to study the nature of our God in the Book of Esther especially Chapters 6 & 7 where Haman’s plot to end the lives of the Israelites ended up consuming his own life.


“For El-Rufai to think that the Asiwaju vote is a victory for Islam is very unfortunate and speaks volumes of his kind of bigotry. His outburst has destroyed the remaining respect he enjoyed from patriotic Nigerians. We call on Asiwaju to be mindful of friends, associates and politicians like El-Rufai who seek to work with him as they will do more harm to the system and the nation and nothing good can come out of such. May I also use this medium to call on our governors in Nigeria, particularly our Northern governors to truly work towards removing our battered citizens from poverty, insecurity and the like and ensure the provision of good healthcare and other benefits of good governance, rather than to dwell on preaching hate and religious and tribal differences. I call on our leaders to show the citizens the number of people they have empowered instead of the number of lives and property they have destroyed as is happening in Kaduna. I believe that God shall continue to expose the wolves in sheep’s clothing amongst Nigerians”

Pastor are you a politician to response to Rufai aurtrance ?? Rufai is a religious bigot politically and many of you pastors are political bigots in the name of religion. El rufai played Islamization politics while you Christian's too played christianization politic in this 2023 election but Muslims won BCS of their higher populations. Now politics had gone it is time for governance bcs hardship and enjoyment doesn't recognize religions. We pray for better 9aija........

simpleseyi:
Proscribe NLC, and let them go to Court. Go then and tell the judges that a political party cannot lead the workers union, Simple. Both LP and NLC will be proscribed together

sense no go kill you. Those Guys are coming for you.

udemzyudex:
Sense is far from you Oga.

ok sir but the sense near you is failing you.

udemzyudex:
If you have nothing reasonable to post please go and take a nap.

Anyone who feels cheated by INEC should go to Court, that's what INEC said so allow them after all it didn't stop Tinubu from being sworn in on May 29.
Pls rest.

oga you are the one need rest!!!! We have told you for long to settle who is in second position before you drag Tinubu but emotional desires didn't allow you to reason well .

LagosFirstSon:
Revert to the old price and come to the negotiating table or we go on strike

Bola Tinubu protested against fuel subsidy removal in 2014 during Goodluck Jonathan PDP government. Why go back to his vomit now?

Tinubu must be really stupid to think he can just wake up and take decisions without following due process

wailing has started ...... Oga but your failed candidate too promised to remove the subsidy and many of you said it's the best for us. What made Tinubu to protest in 2014 is what is making you to protest today. If you know you know .

GALAXY11:
laughing at some people that feels that jagaban will perform miracle by drastically turning things around for good.from A-Z of Nigerian politicians don’t have the good of their citizens at heart.

Don’t be fooled by their actions on media or what they’re saying coz they don’t have conscience.typical example is Ben Ayade that came to the media and was shading crocodile tears that he could’ve done this that for his people am sure u know the rest of the story.

The day they start going to jail for fund mismanagement that is when I’ll start believing them....if they open ur eyes to see how much they loot and re-loot you would wish them nothing but death.

Don’t trust what they do on media,
Don’t trust what they say,
Don’t trust any policy they come up with coz is not for your own interest but for their selfish interest.

Know this and know peace men and brethren

Oga go away with your badmouthing and useless Imaginations. What is your suggestion for the way out to better Nigeria or you are just here to preach discouragement an Negativity while reasonable Nigeria are bringing out Ideas?? Many of you are just unproductive parasite to this country than to post nonsense and badmouthing on the Media's.

Nigeria has been fvcked since Amalgamation 1914.

No Nation can progress with the brand of Islam being practiced by our Northern Muslims. None
It's breeds the likes of Buhari, Elrufai, Shettima, MURIC, BOKO haram, Iswap, Bandits, Terrorists herdsmen and more...

you were asked a brainlant question. I hope this is your answer to what he asked? If so you are not among the reasonable Nigerian youths he is talking about. Then to the question asked !!! Nigerians should start cutting their luxsary and unnecessary life style s intern of carrying car up and down. We need to carry private cars when it is nessessary not how we want it. Purposes should be our priority to cut unesesary cost of fuel and transportation. I have gone for for lady Bikes and Bicyicles for my young apprentice guys in my company for easy and costless movement within the town. Pls I am open for any other reasonable sugestions to overcome the challenges impact of this high cost in my company.

you need more and more crying than this. Pls upgrade.

goodness4ever:
Tinubu should remember to spread his appointments across all the geopolitical zones in Nigeria. There must be a reflection of federal character.

You don start again !!!! We need good and capable appointees not Tribes.

press9jatv:
you are the one that’s gullible and you are showing yourself in an ignorant manner here. What Atiku said is very true.

Oga try to ask Atiku the type of palliative and how he intended to do is before you become unreasonable to people.

VinnyBaba:
What's the fuss and Excitement over a mere Portrait?

Even the likes of Osariemen Osunbor and Ngige had Portraits.😏

where is yours?

alanto:
So the president doesn't eat more cocaine than food? Atiku will be feeling bad right now... All of you people just wasted the man's time and money...

I support Atiku if he refuses to forgive, Kwankwaso, Dino, Peter Obi and Ayu... You people didn't treat the man with fear of God

oga God no send us for politics .

id911:
You think this Government will be different from Buhari's? Make una dey dream. Same of the same, nothing different.

wailing has started as usual.

Bobloco:
This is pure propaganda

How is these products finding their way to those countries. No one have been sacked for not doing his job in securing our borders or arrested by the security agencies for smuggling



Instead of tackling the issues, they keep running around

oga your comment look kiddies.

TreasureJunky:
You people should be deceiving yourselves. My joy in all these is that we're all in this together, wether you're APC or PDP or LP. E dey go round

Oga no one talk about political party here . Every three major candidates promised to remove subsidy . Why do you now want to start another blame game?

I don't know why people are crying. This Tinubu anancement of subsidy remover has exposed many Nigerians irrationalities in the name of blaming government for everything. The 3 major presidential candidates told us during campaign that they will remove subsidy . Now Tinubu won and he had remove subsidy . Why complain?? At least Nigerians listened to their manifestoes and Nigerians voted for them massively for those that promised to remove subsidy among the over 9 presidential candidate we had . When you know you can't bear it why didn't you choose among others that didn't mention removal of subsidy? Many want to enter Heaven but no one is ready to die.

DMerciful:
Reno is neither here nor there

People that tell the truth can not belong to one place. Bcs your good friend yesterday can do bad thing today and you need to tell him point blank. Your enemy yesterday can do good today and you need to appreciate him or her . Truth talkers don't have loyal Teams . Ok

Bobloco:
Nosa, it's your turn

What Nigerians want is true and unedited photos not Photoshops

Nigerians want to see the real Tinubu

this one is still wailing as if Tinubus real pictures has something to offer his life. You don't think what you too can do or pray and work on how your tomorrow will be better than today. You think meaningful life start and end only on media!!!! Dey cry on Media while others are making progress. Sorry if you feel offended.

Akinboboz:
Say it loud and clear,"it done go".

Dpen11:

slawomir:
Damnnn niggar

Tinubu administration is about to kick off in a bad note
Imagine federal ministry departments and agencies have not been payed may salary

Before they usually gets thier salary Before 28 of every month

It is about to get worse for Nigerians

The truth and happy thing about Tinubu's administration is am not gonna pity anyone anymore since have realised that the masses are the problem of Nigeria
A south African friend told me that if tinubu gets more than hundred vote in this election then it means Nigerians are sick and the tribalism hidden in us is out openly

Nigerians will not regret it . Only the worst you wished for is your and youlike.r

Vinnie2000:
Many naive Tinubu supporters Believe He will perform Magic as President. 😏

According to them, he did well in Lagos as Governor.

Whatever he achieved in lagos was due to the party he belonged to: AD,
a party founded by real Progressives ideas from UPN and the Legendary Chief Obafemi Awolowo.😊😎

Currently, he is with the Jihadist, Satanic APC party that has brazenly Ravaged Nigeria since 2015.

Tinubu will FAIL for these reasons.

1. Like Buhari, He will still Appoint Politicians as ministers.
2. Like Buhari, His Failing Health will cause him to Travel endlessly. ☹️
3. He wont be able to galvanize the Army to defeat NE terrorists.
4. Like himself, Imposing a Criminal as Senate President on Nigerians.
5. The national Assembly will be divided, leading to a Legislative Crisis.
6. Some of Thugs e.g MC Oluomo, will Misbehave alot.
7. His Corrupt cronies will still run down the Petroleum sector.
8. ASUU strike might still occur.
9. His Legitimacy problems will Haunt him and he will ignore lots of States.
10. Aso Rock/Fulani Cabal will control him and he will do their Biddings.😒

So If you believe Tinubu will be different from buhari,
you are engaging in SELF-DELUSION.😕🤦


NB: If this Post pain you, Knaçk your Head in the Nearest wall close to you. 😏

I think your observations about the incoming administration is already exists in your personal life . Nigeria will be great !!! We rejected bad and unfavourable prediction against Nigeria. When your person failed doesn't means others will failed . Failure is meant for those that doesn't plan , failure is meant for the haters of things nation.

LesbianBoy:
Na you wan make am great? Dey play you hear. That country will remain like that till y'all receive sense and do the right thing.

ok sir but don't tell me right thing is for Igbos or obi to become the president. Nigeria will definitely great either you like it or not . Igbos who call Nigeria Zoo and happy for any bad things in Nigeria can never be the source of greatness for Nigeria.
