Nasir El-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna State, has made a shocking revelation about the ministry President-elect Bola Tinubu promised him during his campaign. According to El-Rufai, Tinubu had assured him of the new Ministry of Energy, a promise that was not fulfilled ¹.
El-Rufai's media aide, Ibraheem Shehu Musa, disclosed that the former governor had even gone ahead to mobilize his team and develop a comprehensive blueprint for the ministry, which impressed Tinubu just three weeks before the ministerial nominations were announced.
This development has sparked intense interest, especially given El-Rufai's recent decision to quit the All Progressives Congress (APC) and join the Social Democratic Party (SDP) ². El-Rufai cited a growing mismatch between his personal values and the APC's current direction as the reason for his departure.
The unfolding drama raises questions about the dynamics of power and loyalty in Nigerian politics. As the country prepares for a new administration, the implications of El-Rufai's revelations and his subsequent departure from the APC remain to be seen.
