Don’t swear in El-Rufai, we demand justice – Kaduna Quranic memorizers tell Tinubu

A coalition consisting of Quranic Memorizers and Reciters has issued a plea to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, urging him to refrain from inaugurating former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, as a minister.

Sheikh Sidi Aliyu Sise, who serves as the Director of Education at the Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi Foundation, implored Tinubu not to administer the oath of office to politicians who have displayed unfair practices.

Sise highlighted that the appointment of El-Rufai and his subsequent confirmation by the National Assembly represents an act of injustice towards those who dedicate themselves to memorizing and reciting the Quran.

He further alleged that during his tenure as governor, El-Rufai mistreated Almajirai, thereby exercising oppression.

Sise earnestly appealed to Tinubu to govern the nation with a strong commitment to justice.

Sheikh Sidi pleaded, “We demand for justice as a result of injustice, harassment, trauma, and difficulties encountered by our disciples, teachers and many Qur’anic scholars, when he evacuated our innocent pupils from the House of Maulana Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi in Kaduna to unknown destination.”
