The last two weeks have seen a lot in Nigerian politics.

The Senate's whirlwind of ministerial screening has dominated the space, and even before this, there was a heated discussion about who should be included or eliminated from the list before the nominations were screened

One person that the screening didn't go down well with is the former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir Ahmad El- Rufai. He was confronted with so many petitions and protests by some groups. Since the history of ministerial screenings in Nigeria, there has been no nominee that has attracted a greater deluge of petitions than that of el- Rufai, whose eight years in power as governor left trails of fierce discord along religious and ethnic lines.

It was obvious that the plot to stop the former governor was strategically mapped out to ensure he was caught unawares throughout the process. Immediately after the allegations were released, the Senate quickly told him and others who were denied confirmation to await security clearance for yet another possible appearance before the Senate.

Although there have been reports on some social media sites that the former governor rejected the ministerial position offered to him, how can a man reject a position that has been denied to him?

The opposition against him was solid rock, even as he was said to have confessed that some forces in the Presidency were out to frustrate his ministerial ambition. It is clear that with the senators turning their backs against him, el- Rufai's dream is already set aflame without any hope for resurrection.

As in?

I never knew Kaduna state had a president

Just rewash one news over and over again.

Coming here I was expecting to see something new.

Beenibroz:

They are running mad

El Rufai is like a time bomb. No sane country will allow such a human being near the corridor of power. Someone that openly displays his bigotry must be a very wicked man to the core.

El rufia has stains of bloods on his hands.

Former Kaduna President?
