El-Rufai, Hypocrisy, and Executive Incitement

A couple of my interlocutors have written to say that Audu Maikori deserves to face justice for sending out a false tweet. I have no issue with that. There is a new law in Kaduna against incitement and if he is in violation of it and the state's prosecutors feel they can build a case, he should be prosecuted.

But here are the issues that the few--yes, few--El-Rufai worshippers and and those who share his ethno-religious and supremacist inclinations are avoiding and want to deflect by latching onto Maikori, the entertainment entrepreneur having become their convenient escapist scapegoat.

El-Rufai is the official Spokesman of the Fulani murderers

We have record of all your wickedness

You killed Shiites and imprisoned their leader
You paid Fulani murderers in SK
You arrested John Danfulani
You arrested Luka Biniyat
You are threatening Gloria Ballason
You are threatening all Southern Kaduna people who defend themselves
You threatened Pastors
The invitation of Apostle Suleman by DSS you masterminded it
You threatened to demolish Gbagyi Villa
You threatened to ban religion by bringing one evil bill
You closed Assemblies of God Church Saminaka for almost 2 years now with a stupid excuse of security. 

Rwanda-level genocidal incitement: El-Rufai Should First Arrest Himself

Governor Nasir El-Rufai has caused Audu Maikori to be arrested for sending a tweet that relied on false information about an attack that never occurred, a tweet for which he has since apologized. Maikori has been a critic of the governor's handling of the Southern Kaduna killings.

El-Rufai's latest canard to defend his tyranny and intolerance for critique is what he calls "a policy of consequences." Very chic. The problem is that not a single one of the foreign herdsmen he says are responsible for killing hundreds of Southern Kaduna people has been arrested for murder. Not a single one of them has faced this "policy of consequences."

In fact instead of being arrested, El-Rufai rewarded them with handsome payments to silence their guns. Yet Southern Kaduna folks like Maikori who complain about their menace, even if relying on unreliable information produced in the haze of crisis, are hounded into detention. It's different strokes for different folks.
