Spiritual leader Satguru Maharaj Ji has called on former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, to issue a public apology to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu within seven days for allegedly referring to him as an “Agbero President.” Maharaj Ji made this demand in a statement expressing his strong disapproval of El-Rufai’s remarks, which were reportedly made during an interview on Arise TV.

According to Maharaj Ji, calling the President such a derogatory name is not only disrespectful to Tinubu as an individual but also an insult to the office he occupies. He emphasized that as the leader of the country, Tinubu should be accorded the highest level of respect, regardless of political differences.

The spiritual leader further criticized El-Rufai’s past actions, alleging that his tenure as Kaduna State Governor was marked by insecurity, kidnappings, and policies that fueled ethnic and religious divisions. He accused El-Rufai of prioritizing his personal and political interests over the well-being of Nigerians, adding that his leadership style had negative consequences for many citizens, particularly in Southern Kaduna.

Maharaj Ji also linked El-Rufai to controversial decisions during his time in public office, including alleged mismanagement of public funds and policies that contributed to economic hardship. He called for a judicial inquiry into El-Rufai’s activities while in power and urged President Tinubu to take decisive action against those responsible for looting the nation’s resources.

In conclusion, Maharaj Ji warned that disrespecting the office of the President carries spiritual consequences. He insisted that El-Rufai must not only apologize to Tinubu but also to all Nigerians for his comments. He further urged President Tinubu to remain focused on uniting the country and addressing key national challenges rather than being distracted by political opponents.
