APC chieftain Joe Igbokwe asserted that Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna State, seems more powerful, intelligent, and audacious than any of the federal ministers.

According to ZINGTIE, El-rufai recently had a falling out with several APC heavyweights after the latter criticised President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

The former governor said at a recent event in Abuja that he no longer recognises the current party, claiming that the APC has ceased to practise internal democracy.

In addition, he charged that the party was encouraging bad leadership and straying from its core values.

Some of the president’s supporters took offence at the comment and verbally attacked the former governor.

Reno Omokri, a fervent supporter of Tinubu’s government, charged El-rufai with planning the murders of Kaudna State citizens while he was governor.

According to Reno, El-rufai is a ruthless tyrant who enjoys witnessing “blood flowing on the streets of Kaduna.”

In a post on his official Facebook page amid the criticism, Igbokwe explained why the party needs the former governor, claiming that several influential people, including El-rufai, were in charge of Tinubu’s 2023 win.

Igbokwe questioned why El-rufai’s appointment as minister of power was thwarted by certain government cabals.

He wrote, “All things considered APC Nigeria needs the former Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai. He worked so hard for APC during the 2023 Presidential and Governorship Elections.

“I am a witness to how Gov El- Rufai, former Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State and one other governor went to stop the criminal Emefiele’s dubious money policy that was targeted at PBAT which nearly truncated PBAT victory. I also remember the excruciating efforts he put down to retain kaduna for APC.

“HE El-Rufai was nominated as a Minister and we allowed shenanigans and people without honour to come to hallowed chambers of the Senate to stop his nomination for reasons we do not know. If reality is to prevail he was supposed to take a bow, just walk away.

“APC allowed the interlopers to walk away with their sadistic tendencies. Now let me ask this question: Of what meat are they fed? Who among all the Ministers in the Federal Cabinet that is greater, smarter, bolder, more clever, proficient and deeper than Mallam El Rufai?

“Neglecting and ignoring our own scholar in the finest and best tradition is incomprehensible and totally unacceptable. May we never forget this stormy petrel with loads of capacity and capability. Malam El Rufai na man oooooo.

“For whatever reasons APC NIGERIA must not ignore this great man. We cannot afford to lose him to the rival party. He is one of the strong characters we cannot afford to lose at a time like this. Case rested”.
