@OlatunjiAwofes1
His Reputation Already Damaged No One Will Ever Trust Him Again.
@SugarDocHealth
Like he is already aware of the challenges of winning broad support in 2027 politics.
@tunde_akerele
@elrufai you are finished politically. The Butcher of Southern Kaduna, may you never happen to Kaduna again and forever and ever and ever and ever.
@12_hizbullah
Yes, he is saying the truth, and he was referring to southern Kaduna Christians, not Christians at large. And it is because he stopped them from attacking and burning Muslim travellers passing through Gonin Gora. That's when the hatred started.
@AyetotoB2B
DESPERADO...
Mallam GO... The Emergency Synagogue of Political Saints.
This is what hate has led him to. He was accepted by the north because of the mallam in his name. The north don't play with Islam. Going to the church due to desperation shows that card is dead.
@Nsa20
His hatred for Christians is known for decade.
@oyedele_awokoya
The damage control he’s doing now will not save him

El-Rufai then called on the people of Imo state to go for voter registration, adding that the southeast states have been recording low turn-out.
