Nasir El-Rufai, the outgoing governor of Kaduna State, has come under fire from renowned Nigerian artist Charly Boy for a recent divisive religious remark.

El-Rufai had, in a trending video, said he and some northern governors used religion as a political tool to give victory to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in the 2023 presidential election.

According to him, the decision to use religion as a political strategy was to help tackle the issue of tribalism and religion in Nigerian politics.

The statement had generated uproar across the country as concerned Nigerians cautioned the former governor against setting the country ablaze, saying he is a religious bigot.

Similarly, Charly Boy took to his official Twitter handle on Thursday to lambast the former governor, describing him as an expired drug.

The tweet reads, “This small micro chip of a man called El-Rufai. No need to go on pretending that you desire the progress of ur country Nigeria that you have so stolen from.

“It is silly to go on pretending that you’re even a true Muslim. You’re an expired drug bad for the unity of this country”.
