Nasir El Rufai, the governor of Kaduna State
A Global Champion for Change
and human rights lawyer, Carol Ajie, has written an open letter to
Governor Nasir El Rufai of Kaduna State over his draconian approach to
leadership and on-going state vendetta against his critics and those who
speak against the killings in Southern Kaduna.
Dear Governor Nasir El Rufai,
I have read you in the media vow to
prosecute a “little” man from Kaduna State for his ‘reckless tweet’ long
after he had deleted it and apologized to his readers with reference to
the genocide in Southern Kaduna.
Initially, I didn’t want to jump in
because the man was described as a lawyer and I never heard his name
until now. Afterall I didn’t also hear of some of the
governor-beneficiaries of the tenure elongation campaigns when I humbly
began and pioneered those advocacy efforts from 2008 to 2012 and won!
The young man you seek to send to jail
is probably of the same age as some of your kids. Don’t send that kid to
jail. He wrote a message (not even from the position of high
authority), he deleted it and you still go after him – your unforgiving
spirit….
Sir, were you not the top citizen in 2013 who derided our Lord Jesus Christ and you were forgiven? Read the 2013 tweet hereunder being post under signature column.
Recall in the days leading to 2015 campaigns and someone very highly placed made inciteful statements about dogs and baboons soaking up in blood right in your jurisdiction… you looked away. Today, he is president of Nigeria.
If he was prosecuted for the statements, won’t you have tagged it “political intolerance”?
Recall his opponent then said that his political ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian.
Those are the men are regarded as people in authority and capable of incitement not Audu Maikori.
Please leave Audu alone! Stop the persecution of any Nigerian based on expression of their right to free speech!
Stop now!Thank you!
