Nasir El-Rufai, former governor of Kaduna State, says he was not rejected by the National Assembly as a ministerial nominee.

Speaking on Tuesday during an interview on Arise TV’s Prime Time, El-Rufai said President Bola Tinubu simply “changed his mind on the nomination”

Matters arising

Oh wow. Sorry sir 🥹

Just Pray Harder. It gets better

This is a basic fact; given the type of national assembly we now have!

That's the fact. If the tax reform bills that were roundly by the North and some prominent politicians and elite weren't taken off the table, then El'rufai's rejection was the Southwest caucus and presidency project. They lobbied for Mallan El'rufia's rejection.

I hope those who always cry about how El-Rufai is the master mind behind the killings in Southern Kaduna will not turn around and against the security report that nullified him.

The funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣 thing is, the same El-Rufai is also rejected in his own Kaduna State too by the same APC governor he campaigned for and who narrowly won the election. So why also the rejection and persecution by Governor Sani Uba?!

While IBB is popularly called THE EVIL GENIUS, El-Rufai is referred to as SMD, SHORT MAN DEVIL. 🤪

As it stands, there is nothing El-Rufai can do. Except to keep crying because obviously his political career has hit the rock, wrecked.

Before nko? You are a slowpoke. You should have rejected it the moment you were nominated. He deliberately disgraced you as payback time.


Have you forgotten so soon When you chased him out of APC meeting saying National Leader is not recognized in party's constitution ?

El Rufai was clearly played and rejected.

This rejection must have broken your heart.


Considering all the lies you dished out on his behalf at Chatham house .

There is different between real Yorubas and Area Boys. El- Rufai get mindooo

Please try to forget everything that happened

COMRADES, though, I am not a fan of Tinubu, but if Tinubu is responsible for Hellrufai disqualification during ministerial screening, so be it because Hellrufai is a menace for Christianity in Nigeria

Elrufai and his northern allies should collapse their grassroots ers for P Obi and watch Tinubu kicked out before 10am on election day 💥🔥💣💯

Hahahahah... Laughing in chapters and verses. Cry me a River. Idiot

Cry me a .........

Because you are a fantastic fanatic. Cry more useless midget

Politics is dirty. He never ed tinubu presidential candidate and never believed in him. All those time he campaigned for him is just to save face after the primaries. He was even attacking Tinubu that Nigeria is not Lagos.

I think Tinubu boys set him up to be irrelevant and disgraced. I doubt it if he will be able to come back strongly politically. He is showing a lot of desperation and frustration recently. Now tinubu is changing the narration of southern Kaduna which used to be a slaughtering house of the NW before and all hands pointing to him to have lots to do with the killings. If PBAT win the second term in office which is likely, he will be totally useless and start blogging job or writing books up and down. In as much as I don't like Tinubu, this man can never be trusted. Insurgencies will spring up again and will be more deadly. That one alone can't make him come close to the sit of power again.

"The North re" is not just a slogan. Northerners live by it. No good deed goes unpunished.

His rejection was lobbied for. Indeed if tinubu did, then no one come closep

Trust a Yoruba man at your own peril
Good morning Hell-Rufai

He played you, the way you used to play southerners! Move on....

As if any of you care

How far with "I ended godfatherism in Kaduna politics, same can be done in Lagos"

Tinubu did not forget,if you have forgotten how you and Tambuwal were using him to catch cruise

PriceActionZ:

No...he did. He even vacated his seat for Tinubu to seat on in cricial meetings.

Your baggage is too much

lol

I love what is going on. That been said El Rufie is the sole reason Tinubu is president today so wetin them do am no good. However, El Rufie is a bad man and Tinubu is destroying this country. Whose side will I be El Rufie ing a Southerner is my pick. The North has rejected Tinubu if you like be fooling yourself with deceit.

And so?
I never and i still don't like Tinubu. But the truth has to be said. He is the smartest politician in Nigerian history.

He wanted to be president. But he knew it would never happen except he builds a political machinery across Nigeria. He single handedly raised AD and then ACN. He knew he needed northern votes so he drafted Buhari who wasn't willing to run again after failing to win the presidency 4 times. Buhari refused so Tinubu had to go seek El-Rufai to talk to Buhari. Buhari agreed on one condition. If El-Rufai was so sure of Tinubu, then El-Rufai should also contest as Kaduna governor. El-Rufai did and won.

Tinubu drafted Amaechi and Tanko Al-Makura plus other heavy weights. They worked tirelessly to make sure Buhari won. Tinubu got the Lagos-Ibadan press and all the media houses to sell Buhari's candidacy. Nigerians believed what they were selling. Even though they were liars.

Why did Tinubu do this? He needed a man up north with fanatical followership. He knew that if he had come out against Jonathan in 2015, he would have lost. So he brought Buhari in and packaged him. He needed Buhari's fanatical base in his corner. He made sure he got concession from Buhari that he will hand over to Tinubu.

Tinubu never allowed Buhari full control of the APC machinery. He wasn't that stupid. Come 2023, he declared, Emi lo kan! Buhari did everything he could to deny Tinubu the ticket but he failed. Tinubu's political acumen was a step ahead. Outside thousands of dollars spent, he assured each sitting and intending governor that they will win their electoral cases at the supreme Court. He delivered. No governor lost his seat.

However, through all this, he knew that the north had two people with wide appeal they would use against him in 2027. Ribadu and El-Rufai. He made Ribadu his NSA and El-Rufai, he kept at arms length. Why?

Tinubu is not a fool. He knows treachery and backstabbing when he sees it. How would you describe El-Rufai? A backstabber right?

Pictures exist on the web where El-Rufai is kneeling and paying homage to Obasanjo, Buhari and Atiku. How did he end up with these men? He stabbed Atiku in the back particularly.

Knowing this, there was no way Tinubu would have allowed El-Rufai into his cabinet.

This is the same Tinubu that was acting like a near dead im(b)ecile during the 2023 electoral campaign. He deceived the north into thinking he wouldn't last 4 years in office. See the same Tinubu today. Acting very energetic.

El-Rufai should take a seat. Tinubu owes him nothing.

Okay
