FCT, Abuja – Former Kaduna state governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, said the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has left him stranded.
El-Rufai, however, said he is not leaving the ruling party or politics anything soon.
The APC chieftain said he might find another platform to pursue his progressive values if the ruling fails to align with his.
He stated this during an interview on Arise Television on Monday, February 24, 2025.
El-Rufai ruled out the option of returning to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
According to El-Rufai, the PDP has gotten worse than what it used to be.
TimesNow.com.ng also reported that El-Rufai tackled President Tinubu over his appointments.
El-Rufai accused President Tinubu of appointing his boys from Lagos state into political offices since assuming office in May 2023.
The former Kaduna governor said there is still time for President Tinubu to correct it, but there is palpable anger in the north.
Meanwhile, TimesNow.com.ng reported that a former presidential spokesperson, Reno Omokri, highlighted reasons El-Rufai wasnât appointed a minister by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Omomkri alleged the National Assembly did not confirm El-Rufai as a minister because he failed security checks.
According to Omokri, El-Rufai was considered a diplomatic liability to Nigeria for allegedly threatening European Union observers with death.
