“I Am Not Part Of My Husband’s Government” – Governor El-Rufai’s Wife, Hadiza Slams Her Critics

Hadiza El-Rufai, wife of Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, says although she is married to a governor, she’s not part of her husband’s government.

Mrs El-Rufai stated this in a tweet on Thursday in reaction to criticisms over her silence on the reported Southern Kaduna killings.

According to her, unlike governors and others who are constitutionally elected, she is not under any oath of office, hence can freely express herself on issues of her choice.

She noted that there is no ‘First Lady’ inscription on her profile bio, adding that her social media page is majorly for issues about language and humour.

“Did any of you see “First Lady” in my bio? My TL is for language, humour and other light-hearted issues. I don’t tweet about serious matters like governance and politics. Though I’m married to a governor I’m not a part of government. I swore no oath.”she tweeted
