Deji Adeyanju Calls Nasir El-Rufai a Tyrant and Oppressor

Activist lawyer Deji Adeyanju has publicly condemned former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, describing him as an "unrepentant tyrant" and "oppressor." Adeyanju's remarks highlight El-Rufai's alleged misuse of power during his time in office, suggesting that he worsened the plight of the people in Kaduna. He criticized El-Rufai for being an unprincipled politician who sought power at the expense of the populace, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Adeyanju referenced a situation involving Sheikh Bello Yabo, an Islamic cleric who criticized El-Rufai, noting that police were sent to arrest and detain critics of the former governor. He expressed a belief that El-Rufai deserves "karma" for his actions while in office, indicating a call for accountability for the governance issues faced by the people of Kaduna.
