You guys are on the brink of extinction; your elders are in Abuja, cap in hand, groping at Tinubu's feet over insecurity in your region as we speak, yet you think Yoruba's issue is your cup of tea?

How we used religion to give Tinubu victory – El-Rufai

The former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has said that he and some northern governors used religion as a political tool to give victory to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in the 2023 presidential election.

According to the former governor, the decision to use religion as a political strategy was to help tackle the issue of tribalism and religion in politics in the country.

The former governor stated this in a viral video. He was speaking to an audience in the Hausa language in Kaduna at an event before handing over to his successor.

He said, “Allah sees our heart, me and Zamfara State Governor, Mutawalle did it because of God and we didn’t do it because of anything. We only do it in order to have solutions to the current religious problem we are having in Nigeria and for us to give South West Muslims a sense of belonging to rule. And it is because of religion that we used that gave Asiwaju victory.”

He also noted that the Muslim/Muslim ticket that he used to achieve political success in Kaduna has now been replicated in Nigeria with the emergence of Bola Tinubu as president and Kashim Shetima as vice president.

He said, “What we are able to achieve in Kaduna state now has been achieved in Nigeria as a whole. There is no liar that will come and say he will do politics as a Christian and win an election. Even Peter Obi didn’t win.”

He stated that he alongside other northern governors successfully pushed for the emergence of a Yoruba Muslim from the South West as president despite opposition from some quarters

El Rufai speaking in Hausa said in part, “Concerning the Presidential government, what Professor Akintola said is true. We the Northern governors agreed that the presidential position should go back to the West. It was a verbal promise but a promise whether written or spoken, God knows.

“When we saw some people plotting for presidential position to remain in the North, we disagreed, we are not like that. We said we are Muslims and we have our traditions and we cannot go back on our words. That was the first step. The second step is after we all agreed or they realised that they cannot do anything, we will tackle the issue of tribalism and religion in politics in this country. We agreed that we will support BAT.

“When we had that agreement I was not on good terms with him, (Tinubu), we were fighting. But Professor Akintola and their leaders came from Lagos and said this is their thought If power is given to the West since we all agreed that it should be given to them the Yoruba people from the South-West have a problem, their Muslims cannot contest, and win an election. A Christian will have to contest and have a Muslim from the North as a vice. They said since from Abiola it had never happened. They said they wanted that and I asked them to bring the person we will support and BAT got the ticket. We knew he will have to take a Muslim as his vice.”

He added, “What we are able to achieve in Kaduna state now has been achieved in Nigeria as a whole. There's no liar that will come and say he will do politics as a Christian and win the election. Even Peter Obi didn't win.”

— Punch Newspapers (@MobilePunch) June 7, 2023

A report had claimed the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, on Saturday, May 20, demanded seven weeks to produce witnesses to establish his case at the Presidential Election Petition Court.

Mr Peter Obi during pre-hearing of his petition against Bola Tinubu of All Progressives Congress (APC) was quoted to have made the statement while addressing the court through his team of lawyers led by Prof. Awa Kalu, SAN.

According to reports, Obi allegedly constrained to demand for the seven weeks, owing to “a few hiccups” he encountered at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

“My lords, we still have a few hiccups at INEC because of the order that was made by this court on March 8, directing them to allow us to carry out a forensic examination of the BVAS. They have not allowed us.

“We are also waiting for some documents we requested from them,” Obi’s counsel, Prof Kalu was quoted as saying in the report.

Checks by TRIBUNE ONLINE revealed the report was misrepresentation of what Obi’s counsel presented before the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.

The spokesperson for the LP candidate has also debunked the viral report.

“Peter Obi did not ask the court to give him seven weeks to bring in his witnesses. He only implied he will be through with all 50 of them in seven weeks.

“In proposing his schedule of witnesses, Eme Awa Kalu, SAN leading the team in court, had told the court that Peter Obi and Labour Party would be presenting 50 witnesses and that these 50 witnesses, will require 7 weeks to present their evidence before the Tribunal.

“At no time did the Counsel say that he required ‘Seven weeks to produce witnesses’ as misreported by the Punch. The correct interpretation of what our lawyers told the court unambiguously is that the presentation of our witnesses, from start to finish, will take seven weeks. We are not asking the court to wait for seven weeks before we bring in the first witness as the Punch story tries to imply.

“It is expected that every media house will assign competent reporters to cover this important case.

We expect the Punch Newspaper to immediately correct this misrepresentation with the same front page headline with which it was presented to the public,” Diran Onifade, Head, Obi-Datti Media said in a statement obtained by TRIBUNE ONLINE on Sunday.
