The founder of One Love Family, Satguru Maharaj Ji, has asked the Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, to declare governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai a persona non grata in the state.
Maharaj Ji, who is marking the 29th anniversary of his declaration that there will be no more war in Nigeria, says El-Rufai ought to have been arrested for admitting to paying killer herdsmen who have now acquired the sophisticated weapons to terrorize Nigerians.
El-Rufai had in December 2016, admitted to paying some Fulani herders monetary compensation to stop the killing in Southern Kaduna.
Maharaj Ji, who addressed a press conference in his Lagos One Love Family headquarters in the Iju/Ishaga area of Lagos, added: “El-Rufai is supposed to be arrested. He is financing the terrorists by paying them. If I were Lagos governor, I would declare him persona non grata. The tax generated in Lagos would be used to settle these people? I will not support that,” he said.
Maharaj Ji who describes himself as the Living Perfect Master recalled that Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan said Boko Haram sympathizers were everywhere in his government. He urged Buhari to make history by arresting them.

Maharaj Ji compares Nigeria to a child who should naturally manifest some physical developments, including sitting, crawling, standing and walking at certain stages with time. He said a child who deviates from this normative standard of development would mean he is in need of special attention, which is the case with Nigeria.
“How can we describe our beloved country which refuses to walk, not to talk of running for almost 62 years? Is it well with her? Doesn’t she need a surgical operation? Definitely, something is fundamentally wrong with Nigeria. We have all it takes to make a great and prosperous, technologically advanced nation, still we are reputed for backwardness,” he said.
He said hope is not all lost in the project Nigeria because by Maharaj Ji’s grace, which he claimed to be the true name of God, there is an encompassing ball of light glittering at the end of the tunnel.
He called on Nigerians to patiently eschew their differences and refrain from acts that will exacerbate acrimonious tendencies among the various constituent nationalities.
