- Sani said the former governor is vindictive and malicious.
- He warned Tinubu to be wary of the Kaduna emperor
- He said the emperor could plunge the country into a religious crisis
Shehu Sani, a socio-political activist, has said President Bola Tinubu is trying to accommodate and give everyone and group in the country a sense of belong, especially the Christians.
Sani, however, said Tinubu’s effort could be undermined by a former emperor from Kaduna State.
Sani, who obviously was referring to the immediate past governor of Kaduna state, Nasir El-rufai, said the emperor was fanning the embers of religious bitterness despite Tinubu’s efforts to appease Christians.
He claimed that the Kaduna emperor wants Tinubu to run Nigeria based on malice and vindictiveness.
Tweeting, Sani cautioned Tinubu against allowing the emperor to trigger a crisis in Nigeria.
According to Sani: “The Government of Tinubu is trying to calm and appease the Christian population in the country while the retired Kaduna Emperor is still stocking the embers of religious bitterness, hate and strife with his inflammatory utterances.
“He wants the country to be run with malice and vindictiveness against a certain section and against a certain faith as he once did during his divisive and tragic tenure in Kaduna.
“It’s left for the President to allow him to trigger a crisis, tear or incinerate the country. Nigeria is still a fragile country, we must be careful.”
Sani couple of days back had said El-rufai will ridicule Tinubu if the presidential election tribunal rules against him.
El-rufai and Sani sour relationship has been well reported with the later accusing the former persecuting and victimising the Christians and people of southern Kaduna.
Sani had also once accused the El-rufai of sending assassins to kill him.
