To God and Humanity, the 10 grievous sins ex-Governor Nasir el-Rufai committed. It is the alarm that is alerting all Nigerians that he was a leader with divisive tactics and antics to cause division in his efforts to be a leader at all costs.
The DSS/SSS described the former Governor of Kaduna State as a violator of Human Rights; a talkative with venoms to public unguarded utterances.
The former Governor was fingered to have sinned. DSS/SSS accounted ten sins he committed are more sins against God and Man.
1. The comment he made while addressing a group of Muslim clerics in Kaduna after his party, the APC, was declared the winner of the governorship election in March.
2. His hands are deeply involved in the Extra judiciary killings of the sons and followers of the Shiite leader, Ibraheem El-Zakzaky, in Zaria, Kaduna State, in 2015. The case is with International Criminal Court (ICC).
3. Mr El-Rufai was accused to have engaged in arbitrary arrests of political enemies and seizure of properties and wanton demolition of properties of perceived political enemies.
4. Used force and intimidation to suppress protests, leading to extrajudicial killings of innocent citizens of the state.
5. Mr. El-Rufai’s alleged embezzlement of public funds, and abuse of trust, allegedly involving the use of cronies, allies, and family members for corrupt purposes during his time as head of the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE), Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and governor of Kaduna State.
6. Petition files hanging on his neck in different Nigerian and international courts, including the ECOWAS and the ICC.
7. Mr El-Rufai is secretly fighting President Tinubu through the Islamic Human Rights Commission.
8. He once described Mr. Tinubu as the most corrupt person and vowed that he would never deputise such a person with a tainted profile.
9. He committed sins of backstabbing his former bosses, DSS said he backstabbed former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Vice President Atiku Abubakar (who is said to have brought him into the Obasanjo administration), and the immediate-past President Muhammadu Buhari.
10. The agency also cited “anti-people policies” that allegedly destroyed people’s livelihoods in Kaduna State as evidence that he is unfit to hold office as minister.
Truly the Kama law is working. He that lives by the sword will definitely die by the sword.
The above sins were against all races and religions. Stop using religion to defend and cover the sins so grievous and hear broken to humans.
His declining ministerial appointment should not end Nigeria in shame. It is the Kama that is fighting him not anyone in the corridor of power.
