She's not a Christian sir. Get your "facts" right. Personally I really don't care if she was buddist. There should be balance in appointment that's all

El Rufai has always been a failure like the lifeless one. He has been consigned to Hell since until the lifeless one brought him back and ever since it has been hell for Kaduna people.

I’m neither a politician nor fanatic, but Gov Fayemi of Ekiti State is a Christian and also Chose a Christian Deputy. There was no noise then. Also, Adeleke of Osun State chose A Christian running mate and there was no complaints. Peace#

Elrufai knows what he's doing. It's done deal. He will 'win', sure.

He knows how 2015 election in Southern Kaduna went down. He saw how nearly 50% of votes from southern Kaduna were cancelled by JEGA/INEC to pave way for rigging in favour of BuhariAPC.

All the areas where GEJ got huge votes were either rejected or cancelled while inflating APC vote across the NW with Almajiri kids votes.

Same would be applied 2019 and Jihadist Buhari would ensure it work out. Opportunity to try the enforcement of Sharia Law again in Kaduna like he did in Feb 2000. This would then mark the End of 'One North'.

Transparent:
The Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Shehu Sani, has said people of all faiths must be treated with equal respect and dignity.
Sani.




This came in reaction to Governor Nasiru Ahmed El-Rufai’s choice of a Muslim as his running mate for 2019.

The Governor had announced former Secretary of Kaduna Primary Health Care Development Agency, PHCDA, Hajiya Dr Hadiza Balarabe as his new running mate for the 2019 election.

Balarabe would be replacing his present Deputy Governor, Bala Bantex, who is running for Kaduna South Senatorial seat on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Reacting to the development in his Twitter page on Sunday, the Kaduna lawmaker said Kaduna state is a multi-religious and multi-ethnic state and that as such, none should be treated with contempt by any government or non-state actors.

Senator Sani, who recently moved to the Peoples Redemption Party, PRP, and got the ticket to contest for the Kaduna Central senatorial seat after dumping the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), wrote, “Kaduna state is a multi-religious and multi-ethnic state. We are a society of diversity. People of all faiths must be treated with equal respect and dignity.

“None should be treated with contempt or disrespect by any Government or non state actors. This is justice, this is peace.”

El-Rufai is a stubborn goat.

Anyone who knows anything about Kaduna state or lived or worked there is aware that Kaduna South is predominantly Christian, even if Muslims are the majority in the state. To now pick a fellow Muslim as Deputy Governor candidate is a major own goal for El-Rufai!

APC will pay dearly for this stupid indiscretion.

We know that Buhari is close to El-Rufai, so, couldn’t he have nudged the guy to change this fatal error? This error will affect both Buhari and El-Rufai.

Politics is about balance. Adherents of a particular religion may be in the majority, but fairness, equity, and balance should be applied. There is a reason for picking Christians as Deputy Governors or vice versa in Kwara State and Kogi State. Same with states like Oyo, Osun, Lagos, Taraba, Adamawa, Nasarawa, and others.

People praise El-Rufai as a competent technocrat, from his BPE, FCT Minister days, BUT he lacks emotional intelligence, and is very, very arrogant and self-conceited

That arrogance will likely end his political career very soon!

If you still want a Christian Deputy governor from Kaduna South, what will be gain of the Muslims in Kaduna south? Must you have everything all the time as a Christian?

Why should I condemn Kaduna not having Christian Deputy Governor when my Kwara state can never produce a Christian Governor? Even when the governorship was shifted to Kwara north, the first qualification was to be a Muslim while Christians dominated Kwara South, and no one deem it fit to question that

She is not a Christian. Most of us in southern Kaduna won't vote for Elrufai not because of the Muslim - Muslim ticket but because he has failed woefully as a leader. #ElrufaiMustGo that is all
2015 southern Kaduna did not vote for him and he won forget this story.

Yep. Test run for 2023. El Rufai might want to be president and use a popular SW Muslim person like Fashola as running mate.
Or at the very least be Tinubu's running mate in 2023 if Tinubu agrees to a single term only.

Northerners strategies for long term.

Making a same religion ticket acceptable is very very advantageous to El Rufai either way.

Do you ever see any Christian from southern Nigeria bearing Yacob it is absolute no, what you can find is Jacob and Moses and not Moshe...

Forget fictions and face facts northern Christians mostly pronounced their Christian's names in Islamic and Arabic ways because of predominant of Muslims in the North.

You will be surprised how little people know that all those names they put on top head are not even the original ones. Even among Igbo in which some claim affinity to the Jews, I am yet to see someone called "Avram" or "Moshe" . We mostly see English or Catholic versions like Donatus, Clarus, Boniface (Bonifacius), etc.

We don't have Muslims in kaduna south, all we have are converts and these Kano people that came to sale orange and eventually settled down for years, what will be the regards of Christians if we are not given at least the deputy governor? Am from southern kaduna and some of the Muslims that are not fanatics are also bothered about his choice just like sani

Guy,stop talking nonsense.total cancelled/rejected votes in southern kaduna was not up to 100k.add it to gej votes and see if he would have won.gej lost fair and square rigging and otherwise.

Actually,it is pdp that has been in the business of inflating and deflating figures since 1999.in areas where pdp knows its strong and popular like southern kaduna,it always inflates figures to meet up with figures from opposition areas.that was why makarfi and yakowa ruled kaduna.same thing happened in the ss/se before 2015 when the card readers bursted them.

They first started by killing the most vocal Southern Kaduna King who refused to turn his Kingdom to an Emirate and only him is likely to rally against El Rufai.

2 days later, after the death of the King, El Rufai picked a Muslim running mate after 75 Christians were massacred in Kaduna.

We understand this is a pure Jihad. But they will fail. Bantex is a traitor and islamic apologist.

Southern Kaduna should rally wuth Shia moslems to send that calamity out.
