Femi Fani-Kayode Critiques Nasir El-Rufai's Governance

Femi Fani-Kayode raises serious allegations against Nasir El-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna State, regarding his treatment of vulnerable populations during his tenure. He points out the demolition of over 2,000 homes and orphanages in Abuja and Kaduna, which occurred without court orders and left many homeless.

Fani-Kayode notes that these demolitions were carried out ruthlessly, with a specific mention of the Kaduna State Urban Planning Development Authority's actions leading to the destruction of structures belonging to the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, including schools and hospitals. He criticizes El-Rufai for his vindictive approach towards marginalized communities, particularly Shiite Muslims, and highlights the lifting of a ban on Christian pilgrimages to Jerusalem after 11 years, which he views as a selective and discriminatory policy.

Fani-Kayode's commentary reflects broader concerns about human rights violations and the treatment of religious minorities in Kaduna State.
