“El-Rufai a religious extremist”- Former Kaduna Senator blows hot

A former Senator from Kaduna State, Shehu Sani has urged the Nigerian Senate to reject the nomination and possible confirmation of former Governor Nasir El-Rufai.

Sani has advised the 10 Senate against the confirmation of El-Rufai, describing him as a power drunk man.

The former Kaduna State Senator who has been at loggerheads with the former Governor has issued a stern warning to the senate, adding the confirmation of El-rufai threatens the peace of the nation.

In his words via his official Twitter handle, he said:

“The unconfirmed ministerial nominee; The imp who was intoxicated with power, and who arrogantly played god is now at the mercy of those wielding power.

A religious extremist with a fanatical political agenda should have no place in the seat of power if that nation desires peace,”

This is coming barely 24 hours after The Senate revealed its decision to withhold the confirmation of El-Rufai alongside two others due to security and certificate issues.

It is quite unclear what the position of the president is on the subject matter.
