Shehu Sani calls El-Rufai clown for enrolling son in public school

Immediate past Senator who represented Kaduna Central in the 8th
Senate, Senator Shehu Sani, has knocked Governor Nasir El-Rufai for
enrolling his son in a public school, calling it a political stunt for
2023.
The human right activist further said the action is not only clownish,
comical but also deceptive.
Sani while addressing pressmen in Kaduna, said, the governor’s moves
are meant to deceive the people especially, Kaduna citizens.
“His action was simply a 2023 political stunt set up for the media and
people who reside outside Kaduna.
“For people who reside in Kaduna, they know what public primary school
looks like in the state, they know where they are located and the
problems they are facing.”
“It is not because I have a political difference with him, no, but for
whoever lives in Kaduna state knew that what the governor did with his
son by enrolling him into public school was just a comedy.
“It was a badly written Kannywood or Nollywood script. I know the
governor likes Kannywood and Nollywood actors and actresses, but as
far as l am concerned, that was a bad and poorly written script for
the media in preparatory for 2023 and nothing else.
“He would have done better by upgrading schools in Kaduna, you cannot
spend N195m in a particular school and then take your son and the
media to that school and think you have done anything different.
“Let me tell you, we had a governor in this state, Balarabe Musa, who
has never lived in government house during his reign and all that
while he was a governor he lived in his private house and I also know
that the children of former governor Ahmed Makarfi attended this same
Capital School. I also know that other public officials’ children go
to that school too. So if you are not been corny, deceptive and
comical, you would have allowed all your children to enrol in public
schools. Public school doesn’t mean primary schools alone, there are
public secondary schools and public universities.
“We have Kaduna State University, KASU which is a public University
and we have several public secondary schools in the state. During
Sallah, we saw the governor with a lot of his children and all of a
sudden, you picked one of them and said oh, take him to Capital
School, I think the governor is becoming a bad representation of Baba
Sala, I Go Die and Basket Mouth, a kind of comedy situation.”
“He is not new in this kind of drama. It was the same person who was
moving around Kaduna—Abuja road and he went with cameras that he was
chasing kidnappers, so this is a new script but as far as am
concerned, that is a comedy.
“Since we are in an era in this state of using public utilities,
public hospitals, and now public schools, so it is also in order that
public officials, both elected and appointed should also patronise
public toilets in Kaduna. That is the highest form of patriotism and
selfless service. You should use what the masses are using which is
public toilets.
“As a governor of the state and as a leader, if it is good to
patronise public schools by public servants, politicians and all of us
should patronise public toilets like the one that is not far away from
my office.”
