Bashir El-Rufai, son of former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has denied reports that his father’s criticism of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu is linked to his inability to secure a ministerial appointment.
The issue started after a 𝕏 user asked if El-Rufai would still be at loggerheads with the APC if he was appointed into Tinubu’s cabinet.
“Let’s be honest here please. Mallam Elrufai will continue to fight APC if he has gotten the ministerial position, do you think so? asked user @ie_mooh.
Bashir said even if his father had become a minister, he would not have lasted long in office. He said the former governor would have gotten tired of the way things were being done and would have likely resigned.
He also took a swipe at the current federal cabinet, describing it as a cartel and it would have been hard for his dad to operate comfortably within it.
“Perhaps, perhaps not. I am sure of one thing, he would have resigned immediately, especially after realizing that he is a minister in a cabinet that is effectively a Cartel. “Chief importer”, he replied.
