Tosyn Oseni: IN DEFENSE OF EL-RUFAI AND BUKOLA


by naijarevolts
“@zebbook: If Jesus criticises Jonathan’s govt, Maku/Abati/Okupe will say he slept with Mary Magdalene.”….LWKMD…..”
The quote above has unnecessarily generated controversies in the past 24 hours or thereabout but really, we are missing the point here. I am especially moved to write this considering the recent reactions from Prof. Pat Utomi and Dr.Thomas Agande as they also criticized this tweet. I am a Christian and that tweet has not in any way insulted my sensibilities as stated by Dr Agande and JESUS is not in heaven just to always pick offences from people’s words so I’m sure JESUS is not offended as he knows the intentions behind the tweet.
Let me state clearly here that the blame on this tweet has been wrongly placed on El-rufai who only Retweeted Bukola’s tweet and if you check Mallam’s  bio properly you will find out that he has it clearly written that Retweets are NOT Endorsements!! So the criticism trailing his RT is unfair and uncalled for and I see pro-government intentions here in trying to shift away from the main point stated in the tweet.
Meanwhile Ogunyemi Bukola also didn’t plan to insult JESUS as is widely insinuated but he was only saying that when you reveal government flops they will look for something irrelevant to hit you back with as is the case with Maku and Ezekwesili.
El-rufai has apologized despite not owing anyone an apology for laughing over a tweet and therefore we should not try to create any religious conflict here and Bukola also wouldn’t have had it in mind to insult Jesus on twitter, so we should move away from our religious views on the tweet and rather check the intentions behind the tweet which is clear enough to understand.
Thank You
