We have read the interesting apology by Mallam Nasir El Rufai. Any discerning reader will perceive a distinct fragrance of arrogance and self-righteousness in the so called apology.
Mallam El Rufai is surprisingly “taken aback by the extent of desperate misrepresentation of what was an innocuous attempt to show the godlessness of the Jonathanians to denigrate anyone that dares to ask them to be accountable.”
The above shows he is unrepentant and still basking in his ignorance and arrogance.
Part of his apology posted on his facebook page today also reads “To those who were genuinely offended by the retweet, I apologize. I did not meant to offend anyone, neither did the @zeebook I know and featured as one of the Young Voices in my Friday Column. Jesus or Isa Alaihis Salaam is a respected prophet of Islam. Every Muslim accepts this in addition to his miraculous virgin birth. It is therefore absurd for any Muslim believer to disrespect Jesus Christ.”
It is obvious El Rufai completely missed the point , this further exposes his innate nature and careless attitude, showing utter disregard for the religious sentiments of Christians.
The anger as expressed by those who reacted to his heresy, can neither be called ‘desperate’, and the implication of his statement can’t be perceived or viewed as” innocuous”
Further in his so called apology he tongue lashed those he branded “ warriors of God who misinterpret the scriptures’
Warriors or not, how else can one interpret the blasphemy that suggests that our Lord Jesus Christ “slept with Mary Magdalene.
He should also leave President Goodluck Jonathan out of this.
El Rufai is lucky that he is a muslim and from the north , otherwise, by now he and his kins would have been buried by dawn today.
We may take his apology but we have seen what El Rufai really is.
Signed
Dr Thomas Agande
