El-Rufai’s son public school enrolment, plan to deceive people - Shehu Sani

- The former representative of Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, has said that the move by Nasir El-Rufai to enrol his child in public school is deceptive

- Sani said that the governor did so as a calculated move to prepare him for 2023 election, adding that it is a publicity stunt

- The senator said if the governor wanted to be honest, he should have taken all his children to public secondary schools and universities

The former senator representing Kaduna Central in the eight National Assembly, Shehu Sani, has commented on Nasir El-Rufai’s enrolment of his child in a public school in the state.

Sani said the governor’s action was a deceptive one, especially to hoodwink people that may not know how bad public education system in the state is, adding that it was determined to make a political point, The Nation reports.

He also said that the move by the Kaduna state governor is like a badly scripted Kannywood or Nollywood movie designed for 2023 election.

The senator made this known in Kaduna when addressing newsmen, adding that the action was “a 2023 political stunt set up for the media”.

“It is not because I have a political difference with him, no, but whoever lives in Kaduna state knew that what the governor did with his son been enrolled into public school was just a comedy.

“Though, it was a badly written Kennywood or Nollywood 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,” he said.

He also said if the governor was really honest, he should have allowed all his children to go to public schools at the secondary and tertiary levels.

“He is not new in this kind of drama. 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,” he said.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna state on Monday, September 23, enrolled his six-year-old child, Abubakar, into primary one in Capital School Malali, Kaduna, a public school, in fulfillment of a promise he made in 2017.
