Hilliard Eta, the former national vice chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has stated that Nasir El-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna State, is not unique.
According to Eta, El-Rufai chose to join the effort to form a coalition against President Bola Tinubu since the current administration had not named him as a minister.
The APC leader warned people behind the coalition that Tinubu is an expert at forging coalitions in an appearance on AIT Focus Nigeria.
El-Rufai has been leading the effort to create a coalition with former PDP presidential candidates Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi of the Labour Party.
The three and other coalition members convened last week to make important choices about the movement.
El-Rufai had announced that the coalition would depose Tinubu in 2027, confirming the meeting.
However, Eta said: “Most of them were once friends of the present president and people like El-Rufai thought he could become Minister under Asiwaju.
“The question you ask is that If El-Rufai was Minister at the time, would he be doing coalition today?
I’m very sure he would be presenting his report card to Nigerians at this time in his ministry or not.
“Let me tell El-Rufai that people like us were more instrumental to the making of the president than him and if we could not be Ministers, there is nothing special about him.
“People like Kwankwaso and Aregbesola were all close allies of this man (Tinubu), these people are narrow minded; they look only after themselves.
“When you quarrel and you go to form a coalition, just remember that this is the master of coalition forming, he has been in the trenches of forming coalition since the days of NADECO.
“What you are doing now is just a play thing for him, the truth of the matter is that what brings a lot of our people to politics is not enlightened, it’s self preservation. If it has not come to you now what makes you think it can’t come to you later?
“Even if it does not come to you at all, if the country gets better, everybody gets better.”
