The former Ebonyi State governor, Dave Umahi, said on Saturday his Kaduna State counterpart, Nasir El-Rufai, would play a significant role in President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
The former Kaduna governor has come under criticism over his recent anti-Christian statement.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the Nigeria Inter-religious Council (NIREC) had last week counselled the ex-governor to refrain from inflammatory remarks after he tried to whip up religious sentiments on the last general election during a meeting with Islamic clerics in Kaduna.
