Senator Sani accuses Governor El-Rufai's wife of hate speech, warns Miyetti Allah

- Senator Sani has accused Kaduna state's first lady of perpetrating what he considered as hate speech against him

- The senator says Governor El Rufai should caution his wife to desist from the act or he would report her to religious authorities

- Senator Sani also expressed disappointment in Miyetti Allah's decision to endorse one Fulani son (President Buhari) over another (Atiku Abubakar)

Senator Shehu Sani of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has accused wife of the governor of his state Kaduna of carrying out hate speech against him.

In a post on his social media accounts on Facebook and Twitter on Saturday, January 5, the senator representing Kaduna central urged the Governor Nasir El-Rufai to caution his wife for always making her campaign issues about his hair.

The outspoken senator said he considered the action of the governor's wife as an attack on his person and a hate speech.

He warned that if the governor does not call his wife to order, he would report her to religious authorities in the state.

He wrote:

In a separate tweet on Friday, January4, the senator slammed the foremost association of cattle herders in Nigeria, the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) for supporting one Fulani son against another in the oncoming presidential election.

According to Senator Sani, MACBAN has put itself in a difficult position by taking such a partisan move. To him, the group, which represents all Fulanis, should have been neutral on the matter.

Senator Sani's words come just days after Miyetti Allah announced that it had endorsed President Muhammadu Buhari for the 2019 presidential election.

The group's national president, Muhammadu Kirowa, made the announcement at its 2018 annual general meeting.
