4reala:
Well, that's good. Any party except that devilish party apc is ok by me

Thundafireseun:
Truth is we never knew he was in APC and we don’t care …. We still don’t care even if he moves to Republican Party in USA ….

El Rufai is about to find out that he is not popular he only won governorship election because of Buhari tsunami in 2015

mrvitalis:
One of the problems we have as Igbos are people like them

Elrufai is not popular but the APC has expended all its arsenal trying to combat him for weeks, and he seems to be having the upperhand. He has single-handedly revived the opposition. Elrufai is doing exactly what he's supposed to do, taking the momentum off Tinubu's campaign in the North. The real traditional opposition figures have not even entered the conversation yet and APC is in disarray.

These are Buhari’s disciples gauging the body language of their patron and doing the needful but Agbadorians are jubilating and patting themselves on the back just because Buhari said he's still a member of the APC. Is "I am for everybody and I am for no-one" a joke to y'all? Well, we will all learn politics together.

In 2015, El Rufai was said to be a frequent visitor to the villa and was projecting himself as the de facto vice president. There was a rumour that Osinbajo had to assert himself and Buhari politely asked El Rufai to focus on his own state and leave Abuja administration to Abuja politicians.

Then a memo where El Rufai criticized Buhari's economic policies leaked. Does anyone think that document leaked without El Rufai leaking it himself?

I think El Rufai got spoilt when Obasanjo made him one of his closest ministers. He cannot function without being seen to be in charge.

Now that Tinubu decided it might be better to keep El Rufai at arm's length, El Rufai decided to take to the gutters to fight.

El Rufai has fought the following:

1. Atiku
2. Yar'adua
3. Tinubu, when he wanted to dislodge him as the fox of Lagos politics.
4. Buhari, when he called him "Pa Buhari" and advised him not to contest. It was curious he later worked to get Buhari elected.
5. Senator Jonathan Zwingina
6. Senator Ibrahim Mantu
7. Senator Suleman Hunkuyi, for which Buhari named him "Bulldozer"
8. Senator Shehu Sanni
9. Governor Uba Sani
10. PDP
11. APC
12. Nuhu Ribadu
13. Tinubu
...and so many others

El Rufai is an intelligent man, but he lacks political shrewdness and lacks the ability to plan in secret. He could have been seen as a potential president if he matched his intelligence with the charisma of Yar'adua, the maturity of Nuhu Ribadu, the wisdom of Buhari, the bridge-building capacity of Tinubu, the humility of Jonathan, the craftiness of IBB, the silence of Abacha, and the diplomatic skills of Obasanjo. Obasanjo started demonstrating his brashness after his time in power.

Controversy can only take him so far.
