Well in the spirit of justice he should have pick a Christian to be his running mate. In the state executive meeting who will represent Christian communities a commissioner? There was no rational explanation in el rufai action. War is looming in Kaduna. Christians have representative yet they are not happy talk on when they don't have representative at all.

In spirit of Justice,Plateau state should also pick a Muslim deputy governor.

IN THE SOUTH-SOUTH AND SOUTH-EAST HOW MANY DEPUTY GOVERNORS ARE MUSLIMS? EVEN IN SOUTH-WEST MOST OF THE TIMES RELIGION IS NOT A FACTOR FOR DEPUTIES

BuhariAdvocate:

stop been HYPOCRITE. where were people when. Fayemi of Ekiti chooses Christian as his running mate the samething with Fayose and in Osun state during Gov. Olagunsoye oyinlola, it was Christian Christian despite Muslims has larger population in those state but they never raised any eyebrows. why are people complaining now?

Firebomber:


Insane fellow so you don't know that ekiti have a Muslim deputy, even the wife of ekiti governor is a Muslim. you people are just insane. check the religion population of those you listed above and compare it with that of Kaduna.

If Ekiti does, wat of the other states. Besides, if Nigeria is secular and all groups are relevant, does it matter how many Muslims/Christians are in a state? In your own shallow and sentimental mind, wat do u think is d population of Christians in Kaduna? Lastly, only fools who lack the ability of arguing with facts resort to insulting people. Charity begins at home they say

diablos:
Kaduna pple should arrange themselves for El-rufai next level. The midget has promised to terrorize the people of KD and has sworn nobody can do nothing about it.

Senseless post.

Counter what the woman said and let's see how far you can go.

Even in the SW, Ekiti and Ondo for example where the Muslim population in each of the two states can't be less than 30%, we still have Christian/Christian ticket. Hypocrisy kill una!

ebusnwaoma:
Governor Nasir El-Rufai's wife, Hadiza el-Rufai who spoke with journalists after the result of her husband’s polling unit was announced on Saturday evening, justified her husband’s choice of a Muslim deputy. El-Rufai's wife who justified her husband’s choice of a Muslim deputy, told newsmen that her husband was still popular among Christians despite his action.

“I really don’t know why you people keep harping on the issue of religion. I believe religion is a personal thing. Everybody has the right to practise the religion he or she believes in.“I think when somebody wants to choose the people that would work for him, he should just look for the best persons regardless of what religion they belong to. I do not think it is a good thing to pick somebody as your running mate just because he happens to be from another religion.

“We have many ers even among the Christian communities despite the fact the governor picked a Muslim as his running mate. This is not strange at all because there are many states in the country where we have both governor and the deputy from the same religion. “I don’t know why it should be different in the case of Kaduna State. Religion has nothing to do with governance; it is personal" she said.

Somebody should remind me of this post the day APC or PDP in Kaduna decides to choose a Christian as their flag bearer for a gubernatorial election. Also remind me of this the day the North will choose a Christian as a presidential or VP candidate.

Omololu2121:
who represent the Christians communities in executive meetings in states like kano,sokoto,borno, bauchi and many other states where Governor and his/her deputy are Muslims?

if u had followed wat lead to me writing this, u would understand that I was reacting to someone's comment on y Elrufai should have not selected a Muslim as his running mate.

are u serious? as small as elrufai is.

Who else has noticed that nobody cares what religious affiliations Lagos state governors have?

Jagaban has got the bests of the bests, not ever minding which of the two Middle Eastern gods they pray to.

what is this one saying?

Factfinder1:
Tot dey said pdp is winning in kaduna

The truth is that d Muslims in kd saw this election as Jihad. Despite demolition of people houses, sack of civil servants, sack of traditional rulers, n some critical n harsh decisions taking by the governor of d state, which affected both the Christians n the Muslims. But the impression from Islamic clerics is that a Muslim-Muslim ticket was an opportunity for them to advance Islam. While the Christians needed somebody else to govern the state apart from Elrufai, just to escape his evil plan against them. Even the governorship candidate of PDP is a Muslim but they felt Muslim- Muslim ticket is the best for them. I listened to an audio recording of an Islamic cleric saying is better for a Muslim Woman to rule them in a situation were Elrufai died than an infidel to rule them in case if Ashiru wins n eventually died as the governor of the state. After listening to that audio records, i knew it is over for PDP in this governorship election in kd. It is well, this is how politics is played in the North.

RTSC:

None of those states have governors that have proven to be religious fanatic without apology.

If such cases arise like in kaduna, then a more balanced ticket would be needed.

How is Kaduna's Governor a religious fanatic? Do u have any proof pls? Is it because he is in a party u despise? Or is it because he is dat midget who s PMB? or is it because u think he's Islamizing Kaduna? Just because it has been d norm of choosing a running mate of d opposite religion, doesn't mean Elrufai must choose a Christian. Its not d constitution for God sake.

the population of Muslims in ekiti and ondo state is not up to 30%. In fact it's so hard to find a Muslim family in ekiti state, Muslim population in ekiti can't be up to 5% sef if you disagree tell me the names of the villages in ekiti were we have a large Muslim population.

The Governor want to fulfil his constitutional duty with a competent deputy and u are here crying Wolf as if u don't have the constitutional duty to contest and pick Christian deputy so that you can defeat him. I wonder why education hasn't been of of benefit to you guys. Am from lagos and I work in Kaduna, El Rufai is far far working more than any southern Governors yet but data to defend criminals while you can't safe the money to get yourself a good job.

Ondo has 40% of Muslims and Akoko has more than 80% Muslims with over 90% Muslims in Ikare akoko.......then compare them with 26%Christians in Southern Kaduna.

Onlyonebuhari:

Where is the data that suggested that 26 percent are located in kaduna south.

emeka2847:
Who represents Muslims in the governing council of Edo, Benue and Plateau states? Does justice not matter in those states? For God's sake let's stop this hypocrisy.

please remove edo biko there is no Muslims here

For the record benue state and plateau state are not Muslim dominated.....particularly benue why do people include it when mentioning Muslim states,in plateau there are local government with Muslims but that is not enough to include it among Muslim state.... I don't understand

Am an indegene of Ikare Akoko

pinkguy:
since erufi want know the strenth of christain in kaduna i will advise moslem population in southen kaduna to start moveing out because if he won kaduna will know no peace for four year

Stop inciting people on religious ground.
Although, I don't encourage such act, but he wasn't the first state that did that just because they believed they have the strength to win even if chosen from one religion.

Ondo state is an example.

“Ba don tsayi a kan ga wata ba.”

A daring personality, stretching the envelope, taking the risk and breaking the jinx, that’s my man El-Rufa’i. I envisage Justice and development in Kaduna State in the next 4 years. Congratulations to all Kaduna citizens who shamed the prophets of doom by calling their bluff.

At what percentage should states be sharing between Muslims and Christians?
