The Kaduna state house of
assembly has rejected the nomination of Aliyu Abubakar as commissioner for
agriculture.
While other nominees were
cleared, Aminu Shagali, the speaker, asked the nominee why he wanted to serve
in a government that he attacks its policies.
Abubakar had reportedly
criticised some policies of el-Rufai.
“You criticized the same
administration that is about to employ you now in one of your posts on
Facebook. You said there’s nothing good about the education policy and attacked
the governor,” he said.
”The governor still chose you
based on your merits, your CV was chosen among about 10 CVs presented to the
governor, do you think it’s honourable to accept this nomination? To work for
an administration whom you think is a bad one?”
The speaker said since 2017,
Abubakar has been criticising the education policy of the governor, which
according to Shagali, is one of the best.
“In your Facebook account, you
said there is nothing like making Kaduna state great again, it is a deceptive
cliche used by politicians to deceive the masses, we will make Kaduna great at
appropriate time,” the speaker said.
“You said it is a responsibility
for those who are truly sincere not for those who are inherently sarcastic. You
also said el-Rufai must learn to tackle issues with human face. You said you
are an advocate of change that goes to the root and cause (of a problem) not
only the symptoms.
“You also said in the same post:
stop comparing me with el-Rufai who thinks he is more intelligent than
intelligence itself. You however said you are a humble human being that
believes that all that glitters is not gold there is nothing authoritarian in
insisting on the truth and never speak truth.
“You also said that you detest
insincerity as there are better ways of genuinely solving problems.”
Abubakar was dumbfounded when
confronted with the questions. He was not given time to defend himself.
In an interview with journalists
shortly after the plenary session, chairman house committee on media and public
affairs, Tanimu Musa, said the Abubakar’s nomination was rejected because he
criticised the el-Rufai administration.
“The evil that men do lives even
after them, Jaafaru has been a critic of this administration on social media
”The nominee has been criticising
the government, so why did he want to work with the government you have been
criticising before” Musa said.
