#SouthernKaduna: ‘I married governor but swore no oath’ El-Rufai’s wife slams critics [PHOTOS]

Wife of Kaduna state governor, Nasir El-Rufai, Hadiza El-Rufai has replied Nigerians who attacked her on Twitter.

Mrs. El-Rufai was earlier bashed by Nigerian Twitter users for not commenting on the lingering crisis in Southern Kaduna but coming on Twitter to celebrate having 80, 000 followers.

Southern Kaduna had taken the center spot on Nigerian Twitter trends following the alleged killing of some residents of a community in the North West state. Some Twitter users who raised the alarm on the social media platform, likened the recent killings to genocide as they listed the casualty figure in Adara community of Kaduna state.

According to them, about 107 persons have been killed, 49 people have been injured, 66 persons kidnapped, 111 houses burnt, 32 villages destroyed and 20,000 people have been displaced in the Kaduna community from January till date. See some of their tweets below:

This is Gonan Rogo in Southern Kaduna. 2 days ago, @Elrufai’s son flaunted a private jet at the same time Southern Kaduna people are haunted by mass killings and mass graves, while enduring some of the harshest religious persecution known to man!#EndSouthernKadunaMassKillings pic.twitter.com/UN2OqPSInY

Kaduna First Lady, Hadiza Isma El-Rufai was also criticized for what was described as “lack of empathy” over the killings. She was slammed for celebrating her 80k followers on Twitter amid a campaign to raise an awareness over the incident in the Kaduna community.

However, Mrs El-Rufai has responded to their criticism. According to her, she is married to a governor but is not part of the government

”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
