FCT, Abuja – Segun Showunmi, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has asked President Bola Tinubu to appoint Nasir El-Rufai, former governor of Kaduna state, as the minister of power.
According to Showunmi, El-Rufai’s level of background work is top-notch.
In a tweet on his known X (formerly Twitter) handle on Tuesday, October 29, the Ogun-born politician criticised El-Rufai’s absence in Tinubu’s second cabinet, describing him (El-Rufai) as “prepared for the job and fit-for-purpose”.

El-Rufai and 2027 election
Earlier, TimesNow.com.ng reported that recent moves by El-Rufai have ignited speculations that the former Kaduna state governor may be plotting to run for president in 2027.
Speaking on the development, Ogoegbunam Kingdom, the Platform for Youth and Women Development director, noted that El-Rufai has not stated his defection from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to another nor declared interest in any political office.
