Chairman of the disbanded Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN) says former Kaduna state governor, Nasir El-Rufai has every reason to feel embittered over his non-clearance as a ministerial nominee by the Senate in 2023.

He however said only President Bola Tinubu can explain why El-Rufai was dropped from the list.

Speaking last week during an interview on Arise TV, El-Rufai had said President Bola Tinubu who pleaded with him to come and work with him to sanitise the electricity sector, simply “changed his mind on the nomination” but used the non-clearance by the senate as a cover.

El- Rufai also dismissed reports that he was rejected based on security reports against him.

“I think along the line, either the President changed his mind or something else. Please don’t believe the story that the National Assembly rejected me. The National Assembly had nothing to do with this. The President didn’t want me in his cabinet. He changed his mind. Whatever it is, I don’t care, and I’ve moved on”.

“What was the security issue? I have been the governor for 8 years in one of the most difficult states in the country. Where is the report? What about other ministers who are far less qualified and have huge controversies around them that scale through because the president makes a call.”

Speaking in a chat with TheScrutinyNG, Sagay said only President Tinubu can explain why he didn’t do everything possible to ensure El-Rufai scales the screening and confirmation processes.

“That is the reaction of a bitter man. What happened to him was sad given the role he played in rallying the north for Tinubu. But what I have come to learn is that these politicians who engage in high-stake politics, a lot of things happen behind the scene that a lot of us don’t know”.

“After nominating him as minister, why did Tinubu not see him through the process of approval at the senate?. It is a very strange thing. Why nominate him in the first place?”.

“That is why I encourage people to write their autobiography. Maybe when Tinubu will write his autobiography in the future, Nigerians will then know why he nominated El-Rufai and then let him drop on the floor”.

“But El-Rufai’s bitterness is understandable. I will feel that way if I were in his shoes” Sagay said.

El Rufai must explain the Southern KADUNA massacres under him

Is it a must to have Elrufai in the cabinet? Is it his birthright? I thought he said he wanted to rest. Is he already tired of resting? Let others tey their luck...

Elrufai is toxic and walks around with a chip on his shoulders..., maybe to make up for his diminutive nature. That should worry anyone who's going to work with him. You don't want someone parading around as if he is smarter than you, while desperately trying to outshine you.

I think that is a fair decision for the socalled president to make, especially when you take into consideration the fact that the president had all sorts of ulterior sectional agendas too.. Elrufai would have become a stumbling block in this regard, since his fulani nationalism is as suffocating as tinubus Yoruba nationalism.

This has always been my view on this issue. Forget whatever anyone says, including the useless white goatee man who wrote an epistle to explain something he knows nothing about. Only Tinubu knows why he disgraced the midget out of his government after using him.

el rufia says and I quote, I will teach lagosians how to end godfatherizm when tinubu have issues with the then governor of Lagos Ambode.

two rams can't drink water in the same bucket at the same time, they will lock horns

You publicly begged someone to work with you when you were seeking votes, even when the person told you he has his plans. You insisted and kept begging, the person dropped his plans and decided to do your bidding after much plea.

After winning the election, you nominated him as minister after which you made the excuse of him having security clearance issues with DSS. The security issue was never disclosed to the person, the person was not arrested by the DSS for questioning. You dropped him stylishly for reasons best known to you but you felt you don’t owe him any explanations as to why you did that.

The person got mad and feels used by you, yet your supporters and aides call him pained.

Any sane human will be hurt by such betrayal. Why edge someone on when you know you’ll not need them. You could have asked for votes instead of making false promises.

Now apart from being the god of all Nigerians, next only to God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, Tinubu is still the godfather in Lagos, Ogun, Ekiti, Ondo, Kwara while El-Rufai cannot walk freely in Kaduna the only state he once had influence. Now you know who is the boss.

seyi tinubu has more supporters than el rufia

Karma have a way of punishing idiots...

Hell Rufai is the worst soul known to man from Northern Nigeria...

Obi dealt with him as governor in Anambra state, by detaining him, now Tinubu kicked him out from his government...

Hell Rufai sole mission in Nigeria is to continue from where Buhari stopped. Both men are Fulani supremacists, bigots and blood sucking demons and they don't hide it
