I was never interested in joining Tinubu government – El-Rufai

By Daily Sports Nigeria on January 30, 2025

Former Kaduna Governor Nasir El-Rufai has said that he was never interested in a cabinet position under the President Bola Tinubu’s government.He said this in a post on his official X page on Thursday morning.El-Rufai, in response to Daniel Bwala , Special Adviser to the President on Policy communication, said he was clear with the President that he was not interested in any position.

Bwala had initially replied to El-Rufai’s criticism of the APC, saying “My Senior brother, if you were to be in the government and cabinet, would you have held and expressed the same position? History is replete with examples. It is a government you participated in its formation, that you now want to unseat. Haba Mallam, a Ji soron Allah mana.”But El-Rufai responded: “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. – @elrufai.”
