The Kaduna State Governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai has said that the recent statement on godfatherism which he purportedly made against a National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, was taken out of contest. According to the Governor, since he made the statement some persons have met him requesting for Tinubu to be dealt with.
El-Rufai insisted that his statement against godfatherism in Lagos was not directed at Tinubu.
DAILY POST had reported that the Kaduna governor had spoken at a programme in Lagos where he condemned godfatherism which was widely interpreted as an attack against the former Lagos State Governor.
El-Rufai spoke on Friday when he received 121 members-elect of the House of Representatives who were on consultation tour of Northwest at the Government House chamber in Kaduna.
El-Rufai said, “That was not an attack on Asiwaju, it was a generic statement, but the whole thing took a media frenzy because to some people Asiwaju is a meal ticket.
“Let me tell you, because of that, some people started confessing to me that Asiwaju should be dealt with.
“They said ‘Asiwaju wants to finish you, he has been abusing you, we should finish him by finishing his man, Femi Gbajabiamila’.”
