Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, said he no longer believes in the quality of leadership around President Muhammadu Buhari.
El-Rufai said he still believes in President Buhari but not the quality of decisions coming from the circle around him.
The governor stated these during an interview with PREMIUM TIMES.
The online news platform shared a snippet of the interview on its Twitter handle on Sunday.
El-Rufai said, “I believe in Buhari, I still do and I will never stop, but I no longer believe in the circle around him and the quality of decisions and actions coming out of that leadership.”
Governor El-Rufai during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunrise programme said people whose preferred candidate lost the APC presidential ticket to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu last year are now working against the party.
“I believe there are elements in the villa who want us to lose the election because they didn’t get their way; they had their candidate. Their candidate did not win the primaries. “
“They are trying to get us to lose the election, and they are hiding behind the president’s desire to do what he thinks is right,” El-rufai had said.
Aisha, wife of the president backed El-Rufa’i over his claim that some elements in the presidency are plotting to sabotage Tinubu’s victory.
The first lady, who wields great influence in the Villa, voiced her support for El-Rufai when she shared a clip of the interview containing the governor’s main allegation against the saboteurs who are non-members of the party and are exploiting the president’s goodwill for their selfish ends.
