Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, on Monday, dismissed claims that he failed to President Bola Tinubu during the 2023 presidential election, stating that he has moved on from such allegations.

Tinubu, backed by the All Progressives Congress, won the election against the main opposition candidates — Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party and Peter Obi of the Labour Party.

El-Rufai, a key APC chieftain, has been at the centre of political discussions, recently asserting that his views on governance would remain unchanged regardless of his role in the Tinubu-led istration.

On Sunday, an X , Yusuf Tukur, tweeting as #realYusufTukur, claimed that Tinubu and his allies had actively sought El-Rufai’s before the election but later accused him of not backing the president.

“When they were desperately seeking El-Rufai’s , #officialABAT and his goons were everywhere singing Malam’s praises. Given their penchant for ingratitude, however, they’ve turned around to claim that Malam didn’t even PBAT. But these testimonies say otherwise,” the tweet read.


In response, El-Rufai stated via his X handle that he had no personal expectations from his political actions, adding that the unfolding events were simply a reflection of human nature.

“We did what we did for God, country, and party, expecting nothing in return. What is unfolding is merely another life experience and part of human nature. We have moved on, but their conscience won’t let them sleep well. Thanks anyway,” he wrote.

Further clarifying his stance on governance, El-Rufai had said he does not subscribe to political pretence, likening certain politicians to actors.

“Truly, I don’t know how to pretend. Being a Nollywood actor in governance is for some others, not for some of us,” he remarked.

Comment sections on social media are rife with Southwesterners now insulting Elrufai and trying to rewrite history. Yorubas are never beating the allegations. Tinubu has only succeeded in showing the North that he cannot be trusted and his words are not bankable. Never write Elrufai off. His comeback will be epic!

APC's 2027 campaign in the North will lack momentum and will be lacklustre. The Northerners Tinubu has surrounded himself with will barely deliver.

P.S: The headline is sensational and incomplete. Even the blind knew Elrufai ed Tinubu in 2023 but he WILL oppose him in 2027 and justifiably so. He has the and blessings of young Northerners to do so. Some of us only voted Tinubu in 2023 because of Elrufai.

The present Kaduna State Governor is not Yoruba o! 🤪🤪🤪 He became Governor by El-Rufai's . So what do we call him? A betrayer for trying to legally deal with the corrupt practices of El-Rufai and his boys?

LET ME TELL YOU! EL-RUFAI WILL BE PUT BEHIND BARS IF HE TRYS ANYTHING STUP!D BY THE KADUNA STATE GOVERNMENT NOT EVEN TINUBU.

His for Tinubu was a political calculation which is that he will succeed Tinubu when power returns to the North.
He can't get away with Governor Uba. That wan is ready to finish him completely. That should be his worries!!!

Walahi those who made that assertion are confused and don't know jack.

It was El Rufai that cleared the air about Apc primary, Buhari and North, that was before the election

It's better for El Rufai to move on from such discussion

To some Yorubas, it's smartness. To Northerners, it's a betrayal of trust.

In the words of Prof. Udenta Udenta he said " once you have a dissenting view on the issues of governance in Nigeria, President Bola Tinubu's media handlers pounce on you like a pack of Wild Wolves devouring you from left right and centre."

PBAT betrayed Nasir-El Rufai simple !

In the last two (2) weeks, he should have called his handlers to order in the manner Nasir El-rufai was attacked by Publicists of the President.

More interestingly are characters like Reno Omokori and Daniel Bwala who should be taking tutorials from El Rufai having the temerity and audacity to name shame Mallam El Rufai.

El-rufai still maintains a lot of in the core North especially amongst educated Muslims who are influencial during elections & grassroot mobilisation.

I foresee the em between El-rufai and the President swinging some popular against PBAT.

Recall that Buhari had almost Eleven (11) million votes from the north for over three election circles untill PBAT ed Buhari with a partly 4million votes for APC to take over power.

Tinubu's advisers and Cabinet are seen in the North as paper weight Politicians.

Let the game go on !

Without El Rufai, Tinubu won't get half the total votes he got in 2023. 2027 is here already

Tinubu has this year alone to govern and convince Nigerians, gullible ones though, cos no one with his rationality will him again.

Most of the ronus will be quick to term fubara as been a betrayer, just like named Prof. Osibanjo "judas".

They wil all go dumb and begin to crawl out with their warp logic if you dare refer to Tinubu as a betrayer too.

The stark reality is that Tinubu is even worse than a betrayer. If he (Tinubu), knows you are smart and a crook just like him, he will ease you out and trow you under the bus without blinking an eye.

But, personally, I equally like the treatment Elrufai has received.

They should all go and die, according to Oshomole!
