Daniel Bwala, President Bola Tinubu’s Special Advisor on Policy Communication, has received a response from Nasir el-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna State.

According to reports, El-Rufai had declared that he no longer recognized his own political party and had criticized the ruling All Progressives Congress, or APC, for deviating from its basic principles.

“I am a founding member of the APC. But frankly, I no longer recognise the APC. No party organ has met in two years — no caucus, no NEC, nothing. I don’t even know if it is a one-man show. It is a zero-man show,” el-Rufai said at a national conference on strengthening democracy in Nigeria, which was held in Abuja.

In response to El-Rufai’s tirade, Bwala questioned the former Federal Capital Territory (FCT) minister on if his perspective on the APC would have changed if he had served in Tinubu’s cabinet.

Remember how the Senate denied el-Rufai’s approval to serve as minister on August 7, 2023, due to security concerns?

In his response to Bwala in a post on X on Thursday, El-Rufai said, “The pathetic manner in which all of you latter-day converts to the Tinubu government make an issue of something that I never wanted in the first place is perhaps a reflection of the level of your moral flexibility.

“If I had remained in the Tinubu government, I would have said or done the same on the tragedy within a party I founded, and the government that emerged from it — first in private sessions with those concerned, and then go public if no remedial actions are taken,” the APC chieftain added.
