“I Don’t Give A Damn”- El-Rufai Tells Critics
2 min read
Former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai has fired back at his critics on social media, saying their abuses and insults lack basis.
El-Rufai stated that he doesn’t “give a damn” about misinterpretation of his posts and that his critics are judgmental of him “in ignorance and bigotry”
“I frankly don’t give a damn,” El-Rufai wrote on his verified account on Saturday. “Abuse and insult with no basis. By all means, pass your judgment in ignorance and bigotry. Nothing will change. What will be will be, in sha Allah.”

El-Rufai’s reaction comes after netizens heaped criticism on him for a post he made last Saturday, speaking against envy and hatred among Nigerians. He used the emergence of US Vice President Kamala Harris as a case study, which some interpreted as a veiled attack on certain individuals.
Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke’s aide, Banks Omishore, berated El-Rufai, saying he didn’t have a moral compass to discourage envy and hate because he displayed such behavior against former Senate President Bukola Saraki.
El-Rufai has been battling political deficiencies since he left office, including the Senate’s refusal to confirm his nomination as a ministerial nominee in August 2023.
His successor, Governor Uba Sani, also alleged that El-Rufai inherited a huge debt burden of $587 million, N85 billion, and 115 contractual liabilities.
The Kaduna State House of Assembly further alleged that El-Rufai diverted public funds to the tune of N423 billion while in office.
