Political Twist: Bashir El-Rufai Speaks On Why His Father Wouldn’t Serve Under Tinubu

Bashir El-Rufai, son of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, has dismissed suggestions that his father’s criticism of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration is linked to his failure to secure a ministerial appointment.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The discussion began after an user questioned whether Nasir El-Rufai would still be in opposition to the APC if he had been appointed into Tinubu’s cabinet.

“Let’s be honest here please. Do you think Mallam El-Rufai will still fight APC if he had gotten the ministerial position?” the user, @ie_mooh, asked.

In response, Bashir argued that even if his father had been appointed as a minister, he would not have stayed in office for long. He suggested that the former governor would likely have become dissatisfied with the administration’s operations and eventually resigned.

He further criticised the federal cabinet, describing it as a “cartel,” and implied that his father would have found it difficult to work comfortably within it.

“Maybe, maybe not. One thing I know for certain is that he would have immediately resigned, especially after realizing he is a minister in a cabinet that is in effect a cartel headed by the chief importer,” he said.
