Bello El-Rufai Remains Indispensable; Here Is Why - Comrade Musa Mohammed

'That's why political veterans have also queued behind Bello El-Rufai'

The greatest opposition against Bello’s aspirations has been hinged on the fact that he’s the son of the governor of Kaduna state, with the few dissenting voices alleging gerontocracy.

It is either these people are simply being mischievous or they may be completely ignorant or too old to appreciate the fact that even  the greatest bastion of democracy – America has elected the son of a former president as president. The Bush family of America readily comes to mind.

Whereas you can’t deny that the family name may have some influence in the entire decision of the son to even join politics, because after all, most sons of responsible fathers want to emulate them, I believe our focus should be on querying the young man’s aspirations by asking the most consequential questions: Is he educated enough for the position? Has he demonstrated requisite leadership competence to qualify for the position? What’s the focus of his aspirations and why is it different from what we have on ground now? etc…

To answer the questions above conveniently, it is pertinent to present BELLO EL-RUFAI’s journey of education, leadership and vision. Bello attended Essence nursery and primary school Kaduna. He proceeded to the Nigerian Turkish International School where he completed his Junior secondary education. He completed his senior secondary education at the British school in Lome, Togo.

From 2007-2011, he attended Wheaton college Massachusetts USA where he earned a Bachelor’s degree in political science and International Relations.

Bello El-rufai earned a master’s degree in Public Relations and Corporate communications from Georgetown University in 2013.

He worked as a manager for Huawei in Nigeria before becoming a senior legislative aide to Senator Uba Sani in 2019.

It was not surprising therefore that many queued behind him in a clear show of belief and trust. It took a high level political scheming and approbation for him to be put down, but certainly not out.

But supposing we want to even align his father’s influence with his aspirations, is it wrong for the son of someone such as Malam Nasiru El-Rufai for whom the people of Kaduna state still have nothing but love for the unmatched strides he made as two termgovernor of the state between 2015 to date to cash in on? The apple does not fall far from the tree. Therefore, if the people have seen in Bello El-Rufai a higher version of his father in modern approaches to governance as a result of his education and other engagements, shouldn’t they grab a hold of it?

Many of the people crying wolf and attributing his entire aspirations to the influence of his father would have loved to have such wind of love riding in their backs. This is because people always despise what they can’t have. In any case, if his father were to be a bad man who is despised, no one will be talking influence now, they’ll instead be talking about his father’s evil antecedents. It with respect to this that I reckon it is way better to be talking positive influence rather than it’s negative counterpart.

For the latter groups, it is perhaps understandable considering Bello El-Rufai is answering the call to represent their constituency as is becoming a global norm. Notwithstanding, this however, Bello has shown himself as someone who has learnt the art of cross-demographic communication and relations which is why political veterans have also queued behind him.

I urge our people of Kaduna North Constituency to discountenance the whining of naysayers. No one can kill idea whose time has come. MUHAMMAD BELLO EL-RUFAI has presented himself for service on the strength of his personality, education, experience, network and beliefs and no one can trivialize this using old and obsolete political talk.

The politicians and the politics in Kaduna is so cutthroat that it’s greatest elixir is sentiments encased in bile, envy and mostly lamentations. It is this type of useless emotions that have trailed us we the Stakeholders inspired decision of Hon. Bello El-Rufai to contest the house of representative seat to represent us at the (green Chambers) national assembly.

We will continue to support Bello El-Rufai because he have passion for helping the less privileged.

He joined Politics in other to make an impact and tried to better the lot of his people.

He is not just going to serve in order to answer a name but to deliver the good and satisfy the people he is representating.

Bello is a person that believe in self-sustenance. He will definitely provide qualitative representation if elected.
