APC Is Dead; I Know People Who Paid For Ministerial Appointments Under Tinubu Govt –El-Rufai

He stated that his own ministerial ordeal was not the reason he left the party but that the APC had deviated from its founding principles.

Malam Nasir El-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna State, has claimed to know individuals who paid to get ministerial appointments under President Bola Tinubu's ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) government.

He stated that his own ministerial ordeal was not the reason he left the party but that the APC had deviated from its founding principles.

El-Rufai, who spoke in an interview with the BBC Hausa, said it would have been easier for him if the party had sacked him because that would have saved him from the stress of explaining his exit. He maintained that he did not leave the APC, but rather, the party abandoned him and its original ideals.

"It could have been easier for me if APC sacked me because they will save me from explaining the stress of why I left the party," El-Rufai said.

When questioned about whether he anticipated that people might believe he left the APC due to not being appointed as a minister, El-Rufai responded, "Did I seek to be minister? I know people who paid to get ministerial appointments."

According to him, he did not regret supporting President Bola Tinubu’s ambition but admitted to feeling disappointed in the way he had been treated.

"I didn't regret supporting Tinubu’s presidential ambition, but I feel disappointed," El-Rufai stated.

He further lamented that the APC had become a party where personal interests now dominate governance, making it difficult for those who worked hard for its success to be recognised or rewarded.

"The APC abandoned the ideals that led to its formation. It has abandoned the people. Everyone is now pursuing personal interests and wealth. The government has become a business enterprise where everything has a price," he stated.

He added that key appointments in the current administration were being controlled by a select group from Lagos, reinforcing his claim that the party no longer upholds fairness and justice.

"There is no justice. Those who worked for the party are not recognised, let alone rewarded. Appointments are now controlled by a select group from Lagos. The party is dead," El-Rufai said.

Before leaving the APC, El-Rufai said he consulted several political figures, including former president Muhammadu Buhari, Tunde Bakare, Abdullahi Adamu, Adams Oshiomhole, and Bisi Akande, to seek their opinions on the matter.

Sometime during his tenure as governor, elrufai had written an open letter to president Buhari asserting that the APC had derailed from its core founding principles. I think that was shortly before the APC presidential primaries. I think in that line, he's been consistent.

Is it part of APC derailing that made him talk recklessly to the extent of implicating himself security wise and mis handling of southern Kaduna that dented his image till he was found unworthy for the ministerial position? He should continue to cry till 2031; if he knows those that paid for ministerial slots, why didn't him go there to buy too instead of this his lamentations because he lost ministerial post on ground of his past reckless insecurity statements and southern Kaduna consistent killings. If he was cleared as minister, he wouldn't remember those that bought ministerial slots. He is a bad looser!

And if one paid to be appointed minister, then he/she will recoup his/her money in the office as a mister. And caught in the process of recouping , nothing will be done to the recouper but to the whistleblower

"Did I seek to be minister? I know people who paid to get ministerial appointments."

Re: I Know People Who Paid For Ministerial Appointments Under Tinubu – El-Rufai by floss(m): 4:03pm On Mar 13, 2025

So if I buy presidency with my money, you expect me not to sell ministerial positions, I look like charity organisation or NGO to you ?

No loud am.

There are votes of those who aren't happy with Tinubu but won't vote Obi. Unfortunately Kwankwaso don cast and those votes must not fall to Atiku.
Elrufai is God-sent to Tinubu
Obi is God's gift to Tinubu.

If there’s option to pay, you would have paid.

No one believe you Former Gov. El Rufai.

Sir, you are yet to address the Southern Kaduna issue that led to your disqualification as minister under President Tinubu.

Your son has told us his view about Southern Kaduna massacre. We want your own view about the issue. Jihadist should never have a say in Nigeria governance.
