Gov. El-Rufai speaks on directing godfatherism comment towards Tinubu
The Kaduna State
Governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai has said that the recent statement on
godfatherism which he purportedly made against a National Leader of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, was taken out of contest.
According to the Governor, since he made the statement some persons have met him requesting for Tinubu to be dealt with.
El-Rufai insisted
that his statement against godfatherism in Lagos was not directed at Tinubu.
We had
reported that the Kaduna governor had spoken at a programme in Lagos where he
condemned godfatherism which was widely interpreted as an attack against the
former Lagos State Governor.
El-Rufai spoke on
Friday when he received 121 members-elect of the House of Representatives who
were on consultation tour of Northwest at the Government House chamber in
Kaduna.
El-Rufai said,
“That was not an attack on Asiwaju, it was a generic statement, but the whole
thing took a media frenzy because to some people Asiwaju is a meal ticket.
“Let me tell you,
because of that, some people started confessing to me that Asiwaju should be
dealt with.
“They said ‘Asiwaju
wants to finish you, he has been abusing you, we should finish him by finishing
his man, Femi Gbajabiamila’.”
