POINT OF CORRECTION - by: Uche Diala

Contrary to what these media headlines would mislead someone into assuming or believing, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai did not seek the approval or receive the consent of former President Muhammadu Buhari to or before leaving the APC.

Yes. He duly informed the former President, who is his leader and "political godfather" as he acknowledges, out of propriety and respect, and that is the honorable thing to do.

As a matter of fact, he told fPMB that he was not seeking his permission. He was just informing him.

There is a clear difference between informing or notifying someone of your intention to do something and seeking someone's permission and/or someone granting you permission to so do. El-Rufai is an adult with a mind of his own.

Indeed, this direct quote below from the Daily Trust report bears credence to the above assertion and is at variance with the Newspaper's headline.

“I left the APC with his full knowledge. I visited him on a Friday and informed him of my decision to leave the party, because I involve and consult with him on all my matters.” ~ Nasir El-Rufai

Make whatever you choose of it to your satisfaction, but the facts are the facts.

I see some mischief makers already salivating on where to go with these headlines. Hence the need to make the clear distinction.

By the way, I really wish other Nigerian politicians will be as open, transparent, forthright and upfront as Mallam El-rufai. Loathe or love him, it clearly puts him in a class of his own and a few others.
