Former Aviation Minister and Nigeria’s former Ambassador to South Africa, Femi Fani-Kayode, has publicly criticized former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, alleging that his eight-year administration oversaw the systematic marginalization and mistreatment of Christian communities in the state.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Addressing northern Christian leaders, Fani-Kayode claimed that during El-Rufai’s tenure, Christian communities faced violence, denial of developmental projects, and unequal allocation of resources. He asserted that Christian clergy members frequently endured insults and opposition regarding government policies, yet maintained a stance of prayer and non-violence.
Shifting his focus to the current administration, Fani-Kayode praised incumbent Governor Uba Sani—who previously served as a special adviser under El-Rufai—describing him as fair-minded and inclusive. According to Fani-Kayode, Sani had privately expressed deep concern over the previous administration’s approach toward religious groups in the state.
Furthermore, Fani-Kayode alleged that El-Rufai’s former deputy, Barnabas Bala Bantex, was also undermined and disrespected because of his faith during cabinet sessions. Concluding his remarks, Fani-Kayode emphasized that principles of fairness and spiritual duty must always transcend partisan politics.

Inside Oshiomhole’s Warning: Why Hope Uzodinma Is The Wrong Man To Sell The APC Government to Ndigbo!
Former Edo State Governor and current Senator Adams Oshiomhole has clarified that Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma should not bear the sole responsibility of championing President Bola Tinubu and his administration across the South-East region.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Speaking during a television interview on Sunday, Oshiomhole addressed broader political engagement strategies aimed at strengthening ties between the Federal Government and the South-East. He noted that while Uzodimma holds a prominent position as secretary within the ruling party’s campaign structure, that role does not translate to an exclusive mandate for explaining government policies and milestones to the Igbo community.
Instead, Oshiomhole emphasized that all political leaders and governors representing the South-East share an equal duty to communicate effectively with their constituents and build strong bridges with the center.
“Please note, the fact that Hope Uzodimma is the secretary doesn’t mean he will be the one marketing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to the Igbo nation. I believe that every other governor in the South-East also has a role to play,” Oshiomhole stated.
