The presidency has swiftly responded to Monday’s criticism of the Tinubu led administration by former Kaduna State governor, Mr Nasir El Rufai. The presidency called Mr El Rufai a rabble-rouser dismissing him as a member of a coalition of “internally displaced politician.”
Presidential spokesperson Daniel Bwala, in a statement on Monday, reacted to Mr El-Rufai’s interview on Arise TV.
Bwala said, “I listened to the interview of my elder brother @elrufai Nasir El-Rufai on Prime Time Arise TV tonight. He didn’t say anything new or outside the realm of what anyone in the opposition or internally displaced politician.
“Their coalition is still an association of internally displaced politicians formed for a wild goose chase. Dead on arrival.”
A former staunch supporter and ally ofMr Tinubu, who has since turned into a political adversary, Mr El-Rufai, on Monday called the president a “tragedy on Nigerians“ and an “evil.“
“I just feel that having contributed to bringing this tragedy upon Nigeria by contributing to the emergence of Bola Tinubu as president of Nigeria. I should contribute in my last lap. Let me contribute toward removing this evil I believe will destroy Nigeria if left unchecked,” Mr El Rufai said.
Previously, Mr El-Rufai admitted to supporting Mr Tinubu for president despite being aware of his drug-related civil forfeiture to the United States government and certificate forgery scandals.
