Tinubu never really liked me, i was Buhari’s boy- EL-Rufai
Immediate past Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has accused President Bola Tinubu of not liking him when he was a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
El-Rufai made the disclosure during an interview on ‘Prime Time’, a programme on Arise Television on Monday.
He further stated that he was a boy of immediate past President Muhammadu Buhari. The ex-Kaduna governor also disclosed that he was closer to former governor of Osun and a chieftain of the APC, Bisi Akande.
He affirmed, “Bola Tinubu never really liked me, but we never really got along. In the party, I was Buhari’s boy. The person I got along with was Baba Akande.”
Speaking further in the interview programme, El-Rufai said he never believed that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), under the leadership of Prof Yakubu Mahmoud would register a new coalition political party.
The former FCT minister under President Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration drew a comparison between the incumbent INEC chairman and his predecessor, Attahiru Jega, under whose leadership the All Progressives Congress (APC) was registered.
