The immediate past governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has reacted to United States based Nigerian professor of journalism, Farooq Kperogi’s allegations of ethnic favouritism in President Bola Tinubu’s appointments
Kperogi, in an article titled, ‘Tinubu’s Buharisation of the NNPC’, accused the President Tinubu of appointing Yoruba people to key positions at the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL.
According to him, an anonymous source claimed that a certain Bayo Ojulari is being proposed as Group Managing Director, GMD, of the NNPCL after the expiration of Mele Kyari’s term.
Kperogi also noted that he drew attention to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari’s lopsided appointments in favour of the North during his tenure.
Reacting to Kperogi’s article on X, El-Rufai said two wrongs do not make a right, referring to Buhari’s bias for northerners in his appointments.
The former Kaduna State governor, however, advocated for sensible inclusion over what he described as arrogant exclusion.
“Two wrongs do not make a right. Sensible inclusion always trumps arrogant exclusion,” he said.
