Bello El-Rufa’i, a member of the House of Representative and the eldest son of Nasir El-Rufai, the former Governor of Kaduna State, has expressed displeasure over the rift between his father and the Governor of Kaduna State, Uba Sani saying that he is not in the position to reconcile them.
Bello, who represents Kaduna North Federal Constituency said it wasn’t a bad thing to investigate El-Rufa’i’s government by Sani’s administration, so far it was done with clear intention and not targeted to humiliate anyone based on any perceived acrimony.
Speaking during an interview on BBC Hausa, Bello said he was not happy seeing his father and Governor Sani at odds, particularly given the place they held in his life.
“It is not a bad thing to investigate but it should be done with clear intention and not to humiliate anyone or because someone has offended you. But if you are doing it for selfish reasons, Allah will judge. Allah will forgive your frailties, but will not overlook the harm you inflict on someone,” he said.
Attributed the rift between the two men to inevitable circumstance of life, Bello said, “marriages sometimes break, friends can cut ties. But it is important to maintain and preserve the ties, no matter what “.
He also claimed he is not aware of the cause of the fallout between his father and Governor Sani.
“None of them told me anything about the rift. I only got to understand that things are no longer as before, the issue was only being overly exaggerated ”
“It’s unsettling, I wouldn’t love to see my enemies picking a fight with each other. I love peace.”
Responding to those asking him to settle the rift between the duo, he said, “It is not my job. Mine is to focus on delivering on my mandate to the good people of Kaduna North. I love peace and fidelity. But for me, if I were to join issues with anyone, I’d rather approach it not publicly.”
“For me, politically speaking, Mallam Nasiru has no equal. He is only concentrating on his work. He’s a father, he’s my father. It is surprising that some people are waiting for me to say something about Governor Uba.”
