Former presidential aide Reno Omokri has accused the erstwhile governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, of allegedly orchestrating the killing of residents of the state while in office.
Reno’s allegations followed a recent remark by the former governor, who said he no longer recognizes the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
El-Rufai claimed the party no longer practises internal democracy, accusing the APC of abandoning its founding principles and fostering poor leadership.
Reacting, Reno, in a post on his official X handle, attacked El-Rufai, stating:
“You are a bloodthirsty tyrant, and because you no longer see blood flowing on the streets of Kaduna, you are unable to recognize Nigeria!
“The reason you, Nasir el-Rufai, the Butcher of Kaduna, no longer recognize 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.”
