Pass Your Judgment, It Won’t Alter Destiny – El-Rufai Tells Critics
Former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, stated that he is indifferent to how people interpret his social media posts, emphasizing that judgments made out of ignorance will not alter what is destined to happen.
El-Rufai remarked that “what will be, will be” despite the insults, abuses, and misinterpretations of his posts.
In a post on X titled “POLITICS & PUBLIC SERVICE?” the former governor quoted Julius Caesar’s famous words, “veni, vidi, vici,” and added: “Interpret, misinterpret, or reinterpret any posts by me or others as you wish. I frankly don’t give a damn. Abuse and insult with no basis. Pass your judgment in ignorance and bigotry. Nothing will change. What will be, will be, in sha Allah.”

EKO HOT BLOG reports that earlier, Nasir El-Rufai took to his official X handle to address what he described as the pervasive ‘envy’ within Nigeria’s political class, amid serious allegations of corruption during his tenure as governor.
These comments follow the Kaduna State House of Assembly’s accusations that El-Rufai’s administration siphoned ₦432 billion, leaving the state with significant debt.
The allegations emerged after an ad hoc committee investigating the state’s finances, loans, and contracts under El-Rufai’s administration reported that many loans were allegedly misused and due process was often ignored, raising concerns of financial mismanagement.

The Speaker of the Kaduna Assembly, Yusuf Liman, claimed that the El-Rufai administration diverted ₦423 billion, leading to substantial financial liabilities.
In response, the committee recommended investigations and prosecution of El-Rufai and certain cabinet members for alleged abuse of office, diversion of public funds, and money laundering. They also called for the suspension of the current Commissioner of Finance, Shizer Badda, who served under El-Rufai.

However, in a lengthy post on X, El-Rufai described envy as an “incurable disease” within the political class, expressing doubt that it could be cured. Reflecting on a quote from U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, he lamented that feelings of envy lead to hatred, which in turn can result in destructive actions, including crimes like perjury, malicious prosecution, and even murder.
