FCT, Abuja – The presidency, through Daniel Bwala, one of the media aides to President Bola Tinubu, has said that the recent political activities of Nasir El-Rufai, the immediate past governor of Kaduna state, were mere complaints.
Recall that El-Rufai was one of the outspoken northern leaders who supported President Tinubu ahead of the 2023 presidential election, but has recently been speaking against the administration.

Many people have shared the view that El-Rufai’s comment against Tinubu’s government is related to his failed ministerial screening. However, the former governor maintained that he would still have criticised the government if he were a cabinet member.
Also, his recent activities have sparked the insinuation that he may be planning to dump the APC, after holding several meetings with the opposition party leaders.
What Daniel Bwala said about El-Rufai
Speaking on the move by El-Rufai, Bwala, the presidential aide, believed that the former governor was only letting out his frustration with President Tinubu and the APC, and expressed the confidence that he was not playing the opposition politics.
Vanguard reported that Bwala spoke at a TV programme on Tuesday, February 11 and he noted that El’Rufai’s comment about President Tinubu’s administration should not be considered as opposition politics, adding that the former governor remains a member of the APC.

His comment reads in part:
“Most of what Nasir El-Rufai kept talking about, I do not consider them as part of opposition politics because he is not in the opposition, and that’s the mark difference between when I criticised the president because I left the party and when you’re within the party, and then you’re fighting.”
When asked if he agreed with the former governor on criticism of Tinubu, the presidential aide said he disagreed with him. He noted that when people said the same thing about El-Rufai when he was Kaduna governor, he called their bluff.
