Former Christian Association of Nigeria Secretary Kaduna State Chapter, Reverend John Joseph Hayab on Sunday advised Governor Nasir El’rufai to avoid making inflammatory utterances against individuals in the country.
According to him, since El’rufai became governor many of his utterances have been either to insult or denigrate some individuals or group of people.
The former Secretary disclosed this in a statement released in reaction to Governor El’rufai’s recent tweet accusing former Anambra state Governor Mr Peter Obi of being ”a tribal bigot”.
Hayeb said that the tweet by him clearly shows that the Governor needs to go and look at himself in the mirror.
” I am not from South East Nigeria, but a visit to Awka and meeting people on the streets of Onitsha shows that the man Elrufai wants Nigerians to believe this is a ”bigot” led Anambra State with an exemplary leadership style of tolerance and the promotion of peaceful coexistence unlike Elrufai who has polarised Kaduna State with divisive actions and inciting utterances.”
” My dear Governor, Elrufai, you cannot go to the social media every now and then making divisive statements about the population of our dear state, only to come back to accuse other Nigerians of been bigots,” he said.
He said for the governor to have the moral right to accuse others as bigots he needs to check and reexamine himself in the mirror to ascertain if he is not worst off.
Reverend Hayab said it is public knowledge how he have threatened Shiites, SOKAPU, and even the Nigerian Army aside from those who hold different political views.
