El-Rufai Accuses Jonathan Of Dividing Nigeria Along Religious And Ethnic Lines

Mallam Nasir El-Rufai

Former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and Deputy National Secretary of the newly registered All Progressives Congress (APC), Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, has accused President Goodluck Jonathan of infusing religion and ethnicity into the nation’s politics, thereby encouraging division among people.

El-Rufai also took a swipe at Vice President Namadi Sambo, describing his administration as governor of Kaduna State as a disaster, with his successor, Late Patrick Yakowa, according to El-Rufai having complained about the huge debt incurred by Sambo.
Speaking on a radio programme, “Guest of the Week” aired on the Kaduna-based Liberty FM on Saturday, the APC chieftain maintained that it was unfortunate that Jonathan who comes from a minority ethnic group was causing division among Nigerians instead of making the whole country his constituency.
According to him, it is sad that Jonathan and his political strategists thought if they introduced religion, they will be able to divide the North and take the Christian part of the region to vote for Jonathan.
“And if they introduce ethnicity, large enough does it, they will get the whole of the South. That’s their winning strategy and now they are surprised that after dividing the country they are finding it difficult to get the cooperation of everyone,” he said.
“If Jonathan is from minority, how did he get elected? Was he elected by his minority groups or by other Nigerians?
