MBF, which described the former governor as an irredeemable religious extremist plotting the Islamisation of the country, said he should be barred from the corridors of power.

It was reacting to viral video clips featuring the former governor addressing a select group of Islamic clerics wherein, he revealed how he along with others had plotted to enthrone a same-faith-ticket in the state to allow his Muslim brothers to rule for the next 20 years.
Enraged by the content of the video, MBF in a statement, on Sunday, accused the former governor and his cohorts of pushing the country down the slippery slope of religious tension and bigotry.
MBF in the statement signed its National Publicity Secretary, Isuwa Dogo, said: “In the meeting with Islamic clerics that was conducted on the eve of his departure as Kaduna State governor, el-Rufai told the preachers how he, with others, plotted to enthrone the same-faith ticket in the state that was later successfully replicated at the federal level.

“The former governor recalled that he, with others, was determined to ensure the Muslim-Muslim ticket was sustained for another 20 years to ensure Christians come to terms with the indispensability of the same-faith ticket as a panacea for peace in both the state and the federal levels.”
