The enrollment of Mallam Nasir el-Rufai’s son in a public school in Kaduna State has drawn the comment of Senator Shehu Sani.
Gov. el-Rufai in company of his wife openly enrolled their 6-year-old son in a public primary school triggering mixed reactions.
Sani, who is locked in a battle with the governor took a swipe at him saying his action was politically motivated in an interview with newsmen.
The senator who represented Kaduna Central Senatorial District in the 8th Senate told el-Rufai to prove him wrong by patronising public toilet adding that the governor was only acting a movie and put up a bad show.
His word, “It is not because I have a political difference with him, no, but whoever lives in Kaduna State knows that what the governor did with his son being enrolled into public school was just a comedy.
“Though, it was a badly-written Kennywood or Nolywood script, but as far as am concerned, that was a bad and poorly-written script for the media 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 never lived in the Government House during his reign and all the 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 being deceptive and comical, you would have allowed all your children to enrol into public schools. Public school doesn’t mean primary schools alone, there are public secondary schools and public universities.
“He is not new in this kind of drama. It was the same person who was moving around Kaduna-Abuja road with cameras that he was chasing kidnappers. So, this is a new script but as far as am concerned, that is 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.”
