Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has leveled grave allegations against Nasir El-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna State, accusing him of orchestrating widespread killings during his tenure.
The accusations came in response to El-Rufai’s recent declaration that he no longer recognizes the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), citing the party’s abandonment of its founding principles, lack of internal democracy, and failure in leadership.
Reacting to the ex-governor’s comments, Reno took to his official X handle, where he launched a scathing attack, describing El-Rufai as:
“You are a bloodthirsty tyrant, and because you no longer see blood flowing on the streets of Kaduna, you are unable to recognise Nigeria!
“The reason you, Nasir el-Rufai, the Butcher of Kaduna, no longer recognise Nigeria is because, while you were Governor of Kaduna, there were industrial-scale mass killings of Christians in Southern Kaduna after you admitted paying herdsmen, and mass murders of Shiites in Northern Kaduna after your government admitted invading their compound in Zaria and killing almost a thousand Shia men, women, children and infants.
“All of that ended as soon as you left office.”
The allegations cast a glaring spotlight on El-Rufai’s controversial legacy, reigniting debates about the leadership and governance in Kaduna State during his time in power.
