Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has revealed that President Bola Tinubu never liked him, even when they were both part of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). El-Rufai made the comment during an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time’ on Monday.

He described himself as a loyal supporter of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their time in the party and mentioned that he was much closer to APC chieftain and former Osun State Governor, Bisi Akande. “Tinubu never really liked me. We didn’t have that relationship. In the APC, I was seen as Buhari’s boy,” El-Rufai said. “The person I worked closely with was Baba Akande.”

Speaking further, El-Rufai expressed doubts about the possibility of a new coalition political party emerging under the current leadership of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), led by Prof. Mahmoud Yakubu. He compared the current INEC boss to his predecessor, Prof. Attahiru Jega, who oversaw the registration of the APC during his tenure, hinting that the political environment now is less open to such developments.

Published

It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.

This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.

“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
