El-Rufai is talking like an area boy- Afenifere attacks Kaduna state governor over his comments on restructuring

Pan-Yoruba socio-cultural organisation, Afenifere,
has blasted Kaduna state governor, Nasir El-Rufai
for opposing the calls for restructuring the
country. El-Rufai was a guest on Channels TV
yesterday where he vehemently opposed calls by
some politicians for the restructuring of Nigeria.
According to El-Rufai, those who are clamoring
for restructuring are opportunists who are looking
for the gains rather than looking out for the unity
of the country.
Afenifere in a statement released by its Publicity
Secretary, Yinka Odumakin, says the only way out
of the current agitations in the country was to
restructure the current set-up of the nation. Part
of the statement reads:
“El-Rufai should tell us his own idea to
correct the imbalance in the country
because as far as we are concerned, the
2014 confab report is about the closest to
the democratic representation of Nigeria.
The confab consisted of representatives of
all segments of the societies in Nigeria.
But for somebody, who occupies a
responsible office of a governor to be
saying those who are talking about
restructuring are irresponsible, it is very
unfortunate. It is very sad for the governor
to be talking like an area boy on the
television. In Nigeria of today, we can now
begin to take a census of those who are
against restructuring. They are President
Buhari, El-Rufai, Ango Abdullahi, Lai
Mohammed and Tanko Yakassai. Aside
from those people, everybody in Nigeria
supports restructuring; that is the song
everybody is playing all over the country
as of today, whether we like it or not.
Those who are against it are
insignificant.’’
