The immediate past governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, says his support for President Bola Tinubu’s election in 2023 was never to gain any favour in return.
Newspot recalls that El-Rufai was an integral member of the Northern governors in the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC, who before the party’s primary, insisted that a Southerner must succeed President Muhammadu Buhari.
Eventually, Tinubu later emerged as the party’s candidate and won the election against Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and Peter Obi of the Labour Party, LP.
El-Rufai, of late has been critical of the Tinubu administration and the APC.
This has resulted in constant exchange of words between him and some aides of the President on X.
In a post on X, El-Rufai said that he had no personal expectations from his political actions, stressing that the developing events were simply a reflection of human nature.
“We did what we did for God, country, and party, expecting nothing in return. What is unfolding is merely another life experience and part of human nature. We have moved on, but their conscience won’t let them sleep well. Thanks anyway,” he tweeted.
