El-Rufai made this known while responding to an X user, @irahabib, who praised his book, “Accidental Public Servant.” The user noted that after reading the book, it became clear that only politicians genuinely committed to Nigeria’s development would include El-Rufai in their cabinet.

The user wrote: “The day I read El-Rufai’s book, Accidental Public Servant, I concluded that no politician would want @elrufai in their cabinet unless they truly intend to develop this country. He doesn’t know how to pretend.”

In response, El-Rufai replied: “Thanks for your kind words, @irahabib. Truly, I don’t know how to pretend. Being a Nollywood actor in governance is for some others, not some of us. Have a nice day.”

El-Rufai has recently made headlines for his criticism of President Bola Tinubu’s administration and the All Progressives Congress (APC).

He lamented the lack of internal democracy within the APC, pointing out that no party organ has convened in the past two years. Speaking at an event in Abuja, El-Rufai stated that the APC no longer reflects the party he once recognized due to its failure to uphold democratic principles.
