Tinubu, Not Senate’s Decision, Cost Me Ministerial Job — El-Rufai

 

Nasir El-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna State, has revealed that his exclusion from President Bola Tinubu’s ministerial list was not due to the National Assembly’s rejection, but rather the president’s own decision.

In an interview on Arise TV’s Prime Time, El-Rufai set the record straight, stating that the National Assembly “had nothing to do with it” and that President Tinubu simply didn’t want him in his cabinet.

El-Rufai criticised the party’s leadership, stating that its organs have been inactive since Tinubu assumed office.

“I’m a founding member of the APC, but I have concern about how the party is being run… how many people sacrificed a lot to ensure that it was an internally democratic party with progressive ideals, two years after the election of President of Tinubu, none of the party organs is functioning. The progressive ideals are not being pursued with any vigour,” he said.

The former governor noted that after extensive negotiations, Tinubu personally requested his support and assured him of a ministerial nomination, which came with certain conditions. However, the president later withdrew the offer.

“Since I left office and the president begged me publicly to support him, I said I would and I don’t want anything. I am a self-made man I don’t need anything.

“Through two months of negotiations we finally agreed that he would nominate me as minister and there were certain conditions I attached to that, along the line, either the president changed his mind.

“Please don’t believe the story that the National Assembly rejected me, they had nothing to do with it, the president didn’t want me in his cabinet,” he added.
