Former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai has sparked controversy with a recent statement on social media, declaring that he “doesn’t give a damn” about how his posts are interpreted, misinterpreted, or reinterpreted by the public.
El-Rufai’s comments come in response to backlash over a post he made earlier, in which he argued that falsehoods will eventually crumble, allowing the truth to emerge.
Posting on his X account on August 31, El-Rufai wrote,
“Interpret, misinterpret, or reinterpret any posts by me as you wish. I frankly don’t give a damn. 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.”
His unapologetic tone has raised eyebrows, particularly given his influential position and the responsibility he holds as a former governor and public figure.
Critics argue that El-Rufai, as a role model and leader, should exercise greater restraint and set a positive example for the public.
Many believe that his statements could encourage a lack of accountability and civility in public discourse.
As a prominent figure who has represented his state and country on various platforms, El Rufai is expected to demonstrate composure, even in the face of criticism, to maintain the integrity and respect of the office he once held.
