This was contained in a statement signed by the spokesperson for the sect, Ibrahim Musa on Sunday, December 20.
The sect described the governor’s action as anti-Shiite adding that “Governor Nasir Ahmed El-Rufai, it is clear that he is more like an extremist anti-Shi’ite Governor and not a state governor.”
The statement reads: “The Governor took his time in his speech to elaborate on rights to religion and social association but chose to deny only the Shi’ites such rights who he sees as his enemies. By the timing of the state broadcast, which came almost a week after the unfortunate incident, after collecting enough but weak propaganda details indicating the Movement, it further buttresses the point that the state Governor is a signatory to the mass extra-judicial killings perpetrated by the Army.”
“We describing the governor as an anti-Shi’a is not only because of the hatred he has exhibited in his state broadcast, but also by his answer to a question in a live program on Freedom Radio Kaduna during his campaign when he was asked whether he is Shi’ite, which he could have simply answered no, but he went along and cursed those who called him Shi’ite on radio to express his hatred for Shi’a.”
“Definitely no justice should be e expected from a speech made up with details only provided by the antagonistic culprits leaving out every information from the victims despite the damages impacted on them.”
