…he was the brain behind the power shift to the south

Mr Femi Fani Kayode on Thursday backed his friend and fellow party man, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai over the recent negative spates thrown at him.

Nasir El Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna State , was seen in a video talking about the Muslim-muslim ticket which led to spectators and commentators calling him a religious fanatic and a bigot.

Fani Kayode on his social media page supported El Rufai, saying, he was labelled as a religious bigot, a terrorist, a fascist and an Islamist fanatic by those who doesn’t know him or share the same believe with him.

“When Nasir El Rufai, Bello Matawalle and Yahaya Bello took President Muhammadu Buhari to court and defeated him over the illegal and ill-fated cash grab/new notes policy they were considered to be heroes and the entire world commended them” he added

“Yet sadly today, simply because he made some comments about the Muslim/Muslim ticket before a gathering of Muslim clerics in Kaduna State he is being demonised and labelled as a religious bigot, a terrorist, a fascist and an Islamist fanatic by mainly those who do not share his religious faith, who do not know him, who have never met him and who are in a different political party to him”

FFK further added that, if El Rufai was a religious bigot, he won’t be his friend or brother.

“I know a religious bigot when I see one and I assure you that Nasir El Rufai is not one of them. Neither is he a muslim fundamentalist, a terrorist, a fascist or a jihadist”

“If he were any of these things he would not be my friend and brother and I would be the first to openly oppose and condemn him. If he were any of these things he would attract my contempt rather than have my respect” he added.

He said they worked closely together when they were in President Olusegun Obasanjo’s cabinet many years ago and they worked closely together during the presidential campaign for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“He is a down to earth, practical, pragmatic politician who speaks his mind boldly, who is deeply calculating and courageous, who knows and understands the game of thrones and the art of acquiring and wielding power very well, who has no fear of his adversaries and who is determined to do whatever it takes to win. These are all virtues and not vices”

“The reason many denigrate him is basically out of envy and because he has proved over and over again that he is far smarter than them”

FFK also said El Rufai and some Northern Governors were the brain behind the power shift from the north to the south.

“Yet love him or hate him I will tell you this: had it not been for him, Matawalle and the Northern Governor’s of the APC there would have been no power shift to the south, the Presidency would have remained in the North and Atiku, not Asiwaju, would be President today”

“Again had it not been for him and Matawalle, the cabal in the Villa that backed, empowered, protected and encouraged Godwin Emefiele and his Agbor Mafia and that worked so hard to stop Asiwaju from winning the election would have prevailed”.

“And of course that is why all the forces of hell gathered together to ensure that Matawalle lost his seat as Governor of Zamfara. That is the price that he had to pay”

“Those that insist on launching a crusade, igniting a religiious war and assuming the worse about El Rufai today simply because of his comments about religion in the politics of Kaduna state would do well to consider all this as they continue in their asinine behaviour and insidious tomfoolery”

“If there are people that ought to be regarded as the true heroes of the struggle to make Asiwaju President El Rufai and Matawalle must be amongst them.”
