AS A MATTER OF URGENCY! El-Rufai’s mental status needs to be examined, says Shehu Sani
The Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial district, Shehu Sani, has said that the mental health of Kaduna governor, Nasir El-Rufai needs to be examined.
In a letter dated 7th May 2018, which had circulated on the internet, Sani said he is concerned that such inciting expletives and profanity could be uttered by a public servant who is also the security officer of a state.
The letter was addressed to the Chief Medical Director of Federal Neuro-Psychiatric Hospital, Kaduna. He said El-Rufai’s speech needs to be analysed with urgency.
A Part of the letter which was also twitted by the legislator on his handle: @ShehuSani, read:
“As a citizen and a serving Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I am concerned that such inciting expletives and profanity could be uttered by a public servant who is also the security officer of a state.
“The open call to violence, disorder and inflammatory predisposition of a man who occupies such an exalted office is in my humble opinion symptomatic of a paranoid personality disorder.
“It is in the safe interest of the state and the nation, that the mental state of the governor be clinically and professionally verified”, the letter insisted”.
Sani said El-Rufai was notorious for inciting groups against another in order to perpetuate evil agenda, adding that the psychiatric test should be treated with urgency.
He further stated that the outcome of the result would assist him to move a motion in the Senate that public officers and their appointees should be undergoing psychiatric and drug-related tests from time to time.
The letter was copied to the Nigeria Medical Association and the Association of Psychiatrists in Nigeria.
