Former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai allegedly began targeting former President Goodluck Jonathan after he appointed Nemadi Sambo as his vice presidential contender in 2010, according to Reno Omokri, a fervent supporter of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
He was responding to El-Rufai’s allegation that Peter Obi, the presidential candidate for the Labour Party (LP), told him that mercenaries were employed to destroy the LP, just as they do with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
El-Rufai revealed this while stating that the APC lacked internal democracy, which is why he no longer recognised the party.
According to the former governor, there hasn’t been a meeting of the APC’s National Executive Committee, NEC, or Caucus in the past two years.
El-Rufai, speaking at a gathering in Abuja, charged that the APC had strayed from its founding principles.
However, posting on X, Omokri wrote: “Why did Peter Obi choose to make that statement on the same day that those men met? Look, the signs are obvious. Peter Obi knows, as I know, that their intentions for Nigeria are just state capture.
“Because Mr. Obi was part of the Jonathan administration, like myself, and knows that Nasir el-Rufai met President Jonathan at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa on Tuesday, May 11, 2010, and began praising Dr. Jonathan after that meeting and urging the then-acting President to contest the 2011 Presidential election because he thought he would be named vice President by President Jonathan.
“But four days later, on May 15, 2010, when then-President Jonathan named Namadi Sambo the vice presidential nominee instead of him, Nasir el-Rufai began fighting him.
“Now, after having been snubbed by this administration, el-Rufai is up to his old antics.
“I call on Nigerians to remind Nasir el-Rufai of his diabolical history and tell him they would not stand for a military coup because he lost out on becoming a minister.”
