Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna State, has rejected claims he is getting ready to quit the All Progressives Congress, APC.

El-Rufai made this claim on Tuesday while addressing media at the site of the recently concluded National Conference in Abuja.

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

“No, no, no, I want them to change,” he said in response to a question about why he was harsh on the ruling party.

El-Rufai attacked the APC on Monday, claiming that it had abandoned its core values and promoted incompetent 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.”

Daniel Bwala, President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Public Communications and Media, responded to El-Rufai’s comments by asking the former governor what he thought.

Bwala questioned if the former governor’s role would have been the same if he had stayed in the cabinet or government.

“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.
