SOKAMUDA Denies Backing Musa's Comments on El-Rufai
The Southern Kaduna Muslim Ummah Development Association (SOKAMUDA) issued a statement on Monday, dissociating itself from claims that it supported Minister of Defence, General Christopher Musa (rtd.), regarding his comments about former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai. SOKAMUDA, represented by Assistant Secretary Alhaji Ahmad Mairiga Yandeh, stated it was neither consulted nor represented in the position attributed to a group of Muslims and Christians backing Musa.
The association recognized Musa as a distinguished son of Southern Kaduna but emphasized that respect for him did not equate to endorsing his statements. SOKAMUDA's intervention aimed to foster peace and responsible discourse following Musa's interview with Channels Television.
They clarified that at no point did they endorse the Minister's comments about El-Rufai. SOKAMUDA urged Musa to engage with Channels Television to clarify his statements and consider apologizing to those offended, particularly the people of Kaduna State and El-Rufai's family, to demonstrate humility and commitment to peace.
