El-rufai Mum's Burial: Timi Frank Raises Concerns Over Absence Of Yoruba Muslims by JohnMo2(op): 7:34pm On Mar 29
Ambassador Timi Frank, a former Spokesperson of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has raised concerns that the brotherhood amongst Nigerians which was the bedrock, promoting a unified Nigeria, has now completely collapsed under the President Bola Asiwaju Tinubu’s Administration as it is now more glaring everyday on the sharp divisions even amongst persons of same faith, as can be seen at the burial of the Mother of the Former Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai . It is rather disheartening and instructive of note that no South Western Muslim of the Yoruba ethnicity was present at the burial, but instead chose to abstain from the burial of the mother of former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai.

He credited it to the bad blood governance style of President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Ambassador Timi Frank said that "Even in the death, the Yorubas of the south west are clearly avoiding the North due to the fear of being persecuted by the President. It is important to note that at the burial rites, we did not see or witness any visible presence of Muslim of the Yoruba ethnicity show solidarity with the former minister and Governor, not withstanding even under a Muslim-Muslim Presidency. Aren’t we supposed to be one Nigeria irrespective of ethnicity, tribe and religion? Even Mr Peter Obi of the Christian faith was present to show solidarity, so why then are the South western Yoruba Muslims absent at the burial of El-Rufai's mother?"

"This only goes to shows you the extent to which the policies and body language of the President has started causing sharp division in the country. Before President Tinubu, we were all one as a people. We put politics aside and we condole one another across ethnicity,tribe and religion. But now, under Emilokan, the Yorubas for fear of Presidential persecution are avoiding a Northern brother and leader like Nasir El-Rufai.

"I hope the North is watching. Because this is a clear indication that should President Tinubu return for a second term, his policy of division and persecution of dissenting voices may be child's play compared to what we may witness. I fear he may not only cause more division to the unity of Nigeria, he may even decide to move the FCT to Lagos someday.

It is noteworthy to illustrate that Mallam Nasir El - Rufai gave everything and played his part in ensuring that this administration came to life, but is being vigorously persecuted by the same government he helped ascend to power, which should serve as a lesson to other northerners and leaders who are singing his praises at this time to be weary when the tables turn, “Ambassador Timi Frank concluded.

The way Oga El Rufia is feeling from this picture, I doubt he do be in the right frame of mind to face any trail ...As for Timi Frank mourning is not a thing of joy or jubilation to want to show or snap pictures.. it is a time of deep reflection and a time to show love to the bereaved. There's nothing like Yoruba Muslim..they don't segregate themselves like my brother's in the North.

Most of us Yoruba Muslims no longer love El rufai, he is a supporter of islamic terrorists and islamic bandits

Wait, Rauf Aregbesola is the National Secretary of ADC. He’s also Nasir’s right hand man. So, is it Tinubu’s fault that he did not attend the burial?

It depends on how many Yoruba Muslims he’s friends with. How many Yoruba Muslims has he visited during their functions??

How many of their children wending, funerals, birthdays has he attended??

Frank just wants to alert the North that Yoruba isn’t their friends because of the elections.

Let’s them keep the division ball rolling.

Bola Tinubu's only political tactics since his time in Lagos is to use ethnic division to incite fellow Yorubas against the opposition by tagging every strong political opposition in Lagos "an Igbo person that wants to help Igbos take over Lagos" and with that, every Yoruba queues behind Tinubu and his candidates. He tested this tribal politics in Lagos and it worked for him so he exported it to the national level but God will shock him and his supporters because God hate division and pride



No other President has ever divided Nigeria so much like Bola Ahmed Tinubu, history will forever remember him for that!

No he is not. Imagine "Yoruba Muslim", just like these uncouth Nairalanders shout all the time, from the mouth of a so-called prominent Nigerian leader.

This Timi Frank has maturity and sense lower than that of the dregs of Nairaland. His utterance has to be the most stupidly divisive and incendiary I have seen in recent times.

Why does he not hand Northerners guns to go and begin fighting "Yoruba Moslems"? Idiot.
