The All Progressives Congress on Sunday attacked the immediate-past governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, as indications emerged that the former Federal Capital Territory minister was rallying northern leaders and bigwigs against President Bola Tinubu’s re-election ahead of the 2027 poll.
The APC National Secretary, Ajibola Basiru, accused El-Rufai of stoking ethnic agenda over his failure to get a cabinet appointment.
Recall, Tinubu nominated El Rufai for a ministerial position, the ex-governor was rejected by the National Assembly on security grounds.
But in recent weeks, he has been meeting with various northern political leaders and opposition figures, including the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar.
To demonstrate his new-found relationship with the former vice president whom he accused of corruption in his book, “The Accidental Servant,” El-Rufai joined Atiku’s entourage during a condolence visit to the family of the elder statesman and leader of Niger Delta, Chief Edwin Clark, last Friday.
Speaking during the visit, El-Rufai said Atiku deserved commendations for spearheading economic reforms during the Olusegun Obasanjo administration.
