Hon Mohammed Bello El-Rufai, a member of the House of Representatives representing Kaduna North, has vowed to remain committed to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

Bello, a son of former Kaduna State governor Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, said in a post on his X handle that, though he loves his father, he also respects President Bola Tinubu.

The lawmaker, who was reacting to a comment from an X user, @utddiehard_, accusing him of siding with his father, who is a member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), said he will never compromise his principles.

He wrote: “I love my father. I respect Asiwaju. I will never do anything against my party’s interest as long as I am a member. But I will never compromise my principles.

“After all, God is bigger than PMB, Asiwaju, Mallam, and Buhari, and it is God and Kaduna North who will judge me.

My oath was with the Qur’an, the Constitution, and the APC Constitution. Any data boy and his sponsor will bow before me whenever I need them to once they try to drag me. And that’s what it is.”

Everyone with his choices

Tinubu does not own the APC even though he has tried, since assuming power, to scheme out other blocs that came together to form the party while personalising the party and turning it to ACN pro max. His influence on the party will wane once he's voted out in 2027 and all those singing the mandate song today will turn against him and drag him through the mud, headed by Wike. PDP produced at least 3 presidents. What was their influence on the party after leaving power? Tinubu's lackeys will come with a lot of clichés on Jagaban this and Jagaban that but time is a gentleman.

You are going to vote a party with 30 governors out while the governors will be looking at you while you vote them out right? You sound gullible and naive. Politics is a system where everyone wants to keep his or her position by all means. Who is going to do the voting out of APC? Is it the Nigerian students who are on Tinubu’s Nelfund? Or parents who’s been relieved from school fees burden and now have access to loans. The Yorubas who voted for Obi in the last election have realised their mistakes and decided to support Tinubu. So I don’t see how you intend to vote out APC.

AMINDA:
Here we go again with the 30 governors line. APC had 21 governors in 2023, how many states did Tinubu win? Only 12 and that's debatable. How many of those 12 were APC states? What do you mean by "governors will be looking at you?" Are you counting on governors shedding their people's blood to deliver Tinubu as was done in Rivers? I wouldn't bet on that. The fact that you all cannot project a pathway to Tinubu's re-election via popularity and always have to hint at rigging reveals the deep truth that we all know.

If you like twists my words to suit your narrative. 30 governors in charge of their states means 30 victories. Rigging is part of politics or else how did Obi win the entire south east with above 98% if not rigging? I have highlighted the impossibilities of APC loosing any presidential Elections for the next 10 years. Stop being emotional.
