Aisha Yesufu gives El-Rufai major tackle for sharing critical piece against Tinubu on X
By Ishaya Ibrahim
Human rights activist Aisha Yesufu has given former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai a major tackle for sharing a critical piece against President Bola Tinubu authored by U.S. based Nigerian professor of journalism, Farooq Kperogi.
Kperogi had in his weekly column, accused Tinubu of governing Nigeria with a Lagos mindset, citing critical appointments made by the President in the economy which favour mainly people from the South West.
The scholar said just the way Buhari loaded the security sector with northerners when he was president, Tinubu chose to dominate the economy with people from the South West.
El-Rufai, quoting the piece by Kperogi on his X handle, said two wrongs don’t make a right. He also said sensible inclusion trumps senseless exclusion.
In a riposte to El-Rufai’s intervention, Aisha Yesufu fired, questioning whether he would have spoken out if Tinubu had appointed him ‘super minister’ as rumored.”
She said: “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 because we said it was ICCIF! And you Nasir El Rufai
“@elrufai, 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 @farooqkperogi‘s article just like you weren’t sharing Dadiyata’s tweets when you were the dictator in Kaduna.”
