Hadiza El-Rufai, wife of Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, says although she is married to a governor she is not part of the government.
Mrs El-Rufai stated this in a tweet on Thursday in reaction to criticisms over her silence on the reported Southern Kaduna killings.
She wrote: “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.”
Several persons have been reported killed in remote villages in Southern Kaduna following attacks by armed men.
The government is yet to speak on the reported killings.
