Governor Nasir El-Rufai of of Kaduna State has said he will not serve as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) under the istration of President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

El-Rufai played a key role in the power shift from north to south, an arrangement which worked in favour of President-elect Bola Tinubu.


There have been speculations that the outgoing governor will either serve as Chief of Staff or FCT Minister in the incoming government.

But El-Rufai, whom ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo appointed FCT minister, had earlier distanced himself from the reports that he is eyeing the position.

[/b]Speaking at a policy conversation and book launch in Abuja Tuesday, El-Rufai said: “I have done my job, I’m done, I don’t look back. In fact when I left FCT, the only time I visited FCT was in 2016 when my secondary school classmate was appointed the minister and he said he wanted to see me, so I went there.[b]

[/b]“Once I leave a job, I don’t look back. If I leave Kaduna in 19 days, I will only visit if it becomes necessary. So, I don’t think about the FCT. I’ve done my bit. I don’t comment on the performance of those that came after me.[b]

[/b]“Even if offered, I’m not coming to Abuja. As I say, I never repeat class and there are many young people I know that I can recommend that would do even better job than I did as minister of FCT.[b]

[/b]“I’m too old for this. I’m too old for demolition, get a young man with blood in his veins or a young woman.”[b]

The event was tly organised by the Africa Programme of the US-based Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and the Abuja-based Agora Policy.

Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, established in 1910, is one of the oldest and most respected think tanks in the world. It was ranked as the number one think tank on the 2020 Global Go-To Think Tank Index published by the Think Tanks and Civil Societies Programme of the University of Pennsylvania, US.

Agora Policy is a nascent Nigerian think tank committed to generating evidence-based and practical solutions to Nigeria’s urgent challenges. It was founded by Waziri Adio, immediate past Executive Secretary of the Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI) and one of Nigeria’s leading columnists.

He didn't mean hes selfush and covetous ooh, make una read well before una comment, make una no comment based on the headline oh.

He only said he would recommend the job for a young and vibrant youth should he is called upon.

So being FCT minister is all about demolition?

We don't care, he's a big hypocrite.

He always seeks for attention and relevance from any new government

El Rufai the Islamic Extremist!

Arguably one of the best FCT ministers and also best Kaduna State Governor

El Rufai is a natural born

ElRufai doesn't want to end up like Fashola or Osinbajo SAN...

He's the best because the number of deaths under his watch in Kaduna south can only beat that of the Nazi war against the Jews by Hitler

Since you like evil people to rule over you, enjoy their dividends
