You can’t unsettle Tinubu – Presidency tells El-Rufai
The Presidency has informed former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, that he lacks the influence to destabilize President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, stated that the president remains unbothered by El-Rufai’s criticisms.
Speaking in an interview with TVC News on Thursday, Bwala emphasized that Tinubu is not losing sleep over El-Rufai’s persistent critiques.
When asked whether the Presidency was concerned about El-Rufai’s remarks and the regrouping of opposition politicians, Bwala reiterated that Tinubu is unfazed by their actions.
“Who is jittery? The political opponents have no direction. There is no organised political party in Nigeria other than the APC. Almost all opposition parties are trying to find their way.
“I don’t attack because I see that the position of Mr. President is that of reconciliation. In his 18 months in office, he has never reacted to anybody. He has never been seen being combative or aggressive against anybody,” he said.
According to him, El-Rufai only becomes a political heavyweight when he aligns with a “solid revolutionary” leader.
He added: “El-Rufai is still in APC. You treat him like a brother. I know his grandstanding. I know he is having some trouble finding a path.”
