El-Rufai clears air on dumping APC after criticising ruling party



Former governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, has denied that he is preparing to leave the All Progressives Congress, APC.

 

El-Rufai stated this while speaking to reporters at the venue of the just-concluded National Conference in Abuja on Tuesday.

 

“I am not leaving the APC. I don’t have such plans,” El-Rufai insisted.

 

When asked why he was hard on the ruling party, he replied: “No, no, no, I want them to change.”

 

On Monday, El-Rufai took a swipe at the APC, accusing it of abandoning its founding principles and encouraging poor leadership.

 

He said: “I no longer recognise the APC. No party organ has met in two years—no caucus, no NEC, nothing.

 

“You don’t even know if it is a one-man show; it’s a zero-man show.”

 

Reacting to El-Rufai’s comments, the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Public Communications and Media, Daniel Bwala, queried the former governor’s stance.

 

Bwala wondered if the former governor would have held the same position had he remained in government or the cabinet.

 

“My senior brother, if you were to be in the government and cabinet, would you have held and expressed the same position? History is replete with examples.

 

“It is a government you participated in its formation, that you now want to unseat. Haba, Mallam,” Bwala wrote.
