Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has reiterated that he is no longer interested in serving in President Bola Tinubu’s administration, emphasizing that he has made this clear to the president
El-Rufai disclosed this in a post on his X handle while responding to remarks from presidential aide Daniel Bwala, who had criticized his recent comments about the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
“He said: “Good morning, @BwalaDaniel. I was cabinet minster 22 years ago, and was clear to Asiwaju that I was not interested in any position in his future government. The pathetic manner all of you latter-day converts to the Tinubu government make an issue of something that I never wanted in the first place is perhaps a reflection of the level of your moral flexibility.
If I had remained in the Tinubu government, I will say or do the same on the tragedy within a party I was a founder, and the government that emerged from it – first in private sessions with those concerned, and then go public if no remedial actions are taken. Go and check my public service record from 1998.
I am only responding to you because I still think you are a decent person who may need a job, and not in the class of Wendell Simlin and that Kaduna pretender that our voters retired in 2019 – these clowns are political mercenaries that receive humongous monthly stipends from the security vote to be the first to jump on X and other platforms to defend everything the Asiwaju government does or fails to do, no matter how indefensible it may be.
Enjoy your special adviser position, my brother, but remember that allegiance to God and country comes first in human scale of accountability, before any person or authority. ”
PlatinumPost recalls El-Rufai was initially nominated by President Tinubu for a ministerial position in 2023 but was later screened out by the Senate over alleged national security concerns.
