Governor Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State is pained by the withdrawal of his speaking invitation to the Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), a journalist, David Hundeyin, has said.
Recall that el-Rufai had been billed to speak at the 60th NBA AGC scheduled to hold virtually next week.
However, the NBA announced the decision to withdraw the invitation extended to el-Rufai through a tweet on Thursday, noting that the governor was duly informed of its decision.
Many lawyers had faulted the choice of el-Rufai over his poor handling of the Southern Kaduna killings.
Reacting through a statement, the Kaduna State Government said, “While the decision about who speaks at its event is clearly the NBA’s, Malam El-Rufai wishes to make clear that he did not seek the platform and is not agitated that he has one less speaking engagement.”

But in a series of tweets on Friday, Hundeyin said that the governor was pained by the withdrawal.
He said that el-Rufai could not be happy that there was now a permanent record of his “rejection” for posterity.
Hundeyin wrote, “Always remember to document grievances. The reason the El-Rufai spawn and KDSG establishment are gnashing their teeth is not because El-Rufai won’t get to deliver another self-fellatory speech at the NBA conference.
“It’s because there’s now a permanent record of this rejection.
“It is in the news and will remain on record forever that Nasir El-Rufai was such (—) human being that people deregistered from a public event because he was scheduled to speak.
“The documentation makes it real and near impossible to rewrite history.”
