Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasiru El-Rufai has mocked Senator Shehu Sani over a minimum wage tweet about the state government.

Recall we reported last night that the Kaduna State government had begun the full implementation of the N30,000 new minimum wage.

But reacting to the development, Sani, a former Senator representing Kaduna Central tagged the payment as a “fraud”.

“Any payment of minimum wage by any state not in accordance with the template of the new minimum wage act is simply a fraud.Selective,manipulative and dubious payment is simply a deceit.Confirm full compliance from the NLC & the TUC first not from politicians”, tweeted Sani.

Commenting, however, a Kaduna resident tagged Governor El-Rufai to the tweet, asking him to start paying Sani the new minimum wage too.

“Dear @elrufai, Pls start paying @ShehuSani minimum wage so that he can use it and buy some sense”, tweeted the resident.

The Governor who later responded to the request quoted the tweet and responded saying;

“Uncertain whether he is good enough to be employed by the Kaduna State Civil Service Commission.”
