Why My Enemies Are Very Vehement At Hating Me – El-Rufai

Former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has asserted that his enemies are vehemently hating on him because he is unbothered by them.

Naija News reports that El-Rufai, during an interview with Channels Television, said those describing him as a fundamentalist do not know him personally or have worked with him.

He said, “I don’t care. The people that think I am a fundamentalist don’t know me, they have never met me, they have formed their opinion.

“Frankly, the reason why my enemies are very vehement at hating me is because I don’t care what they think. It’s the way I am. I am very comfortable with what I am. I don’t care what you think. Those that work with me know me,” he said on Sunday.

Speaking further, El-Rufai rejected the perceptions in parts of Southern Kaduna that his leadership style reflected hostility towards them.

He added, “They can think what they think. I don’t tolerate nonsense, governance is not a joke.

 “When you’re governing 10 million people as I did in Kaduna, you must discriminate between A and B. Nobody can blackmail me that because he is a Christian, the law doesn’t apply to him.

“There are people in Southern Kaduna that feel entitled to behave in a certain way, I dealt with them. Some of the closest people I worked with in government are from Southern Kaduna. They know that this is not true.”
