Nasir El-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna State, has been advised not to be sworn in as a minister by a coalition of Quranic Memorisers and Reciters.
The director of education at the Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi Foundation, Sheikh Sidi Aliyu Sise, pleaded with Tinubu not to swear in unjust politicians.
He claimed that El-Rufai's nomination and the National Assembly's review of him were unfair to those who memorize and recite the Qur'an.
He said that while he was governor, El-rufa'i oppressed Almajirai under his direction.
He urged Tinubu to oversee the nation with an eye toward justice.
Sheikh Sidi pleaded, “We demand for justice as a result of injustice, harassment, trauma, and difficulties encountered by our disciples, teachers and many Qur’anic scholars, when he evacuated our innocent pupils from the House of Maulana Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi in Kaduna to unknown destination.â€
He claimed that by ordaining El-rufa'i as minister, Tinubu would be endorsing the wrongdoing they endured while El-rufa'i was governor.
