Aisha Yesufu blasts El-Rufai’s hypocrisy over Tinubu’s lopsided appointments
Rights activist Aisha Yesufu has blasted former Kaduna Governor Nasir El-Rufai for sharing a post on X by Farooq Kperogi which criticised President Bola Tinubu’s lopsided appointments.
Kperogi, a Nigerian professor of journalism who lectures in the United States, accused Tinubu of governing Nigeria with a Lagos mindset, citing his critical appointments in the economy which favours mainly people from the South West.
In his view, Tinubu chose to dominate the economy with people from the South West the way former President Muhammadu Buhari loaded the security sector with Northerners during his administration.
Quoting the post by Kperogi on his own X handle, El-Rufai argued that “two wrongs don’t make a right,” stressing that sensible inclusion trumps senseless exclusion.
But Yesufu, in her reacting to El-Rufai’s comment, questioned whether he would have spoken out if Tinubu had appointed him “super minister” as he expected.
“Two wrongs don’t make a right but when a wrong is supported by sycophants like you all did, it becomes precedent for wrongdoers to justify their wrongdoings.
“Whatever Tinubu is doing today, he got the memo from Buhari and his supporters who wanted to kill many of us,” she wrote.
“You were one of those instrumental in Tinubu getting the critical number of votes he could use to rig the 2023 election and you gleefully supported him!
“If you were the super minister you hoped to have been and being patted by Tinubu like a lapdog I am convinced you wouldn’t be here sharing Kperogi’s article just like you weren’t sharing Dadiyata’s tweets when you were the dictator in Kaduna.”
