2023: I Have Axe To Grind With Tinubu

2023: I Have Axe To Grind With Tinubu

 

Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, Saturday, set aside the ‘Bro Code’ when he stated that the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, “is not his man”.

The governor, who made the declaration at a webinar colloquium in commemoration of the 63rd birthday of the Minister of Interior and former Governor, State of Osun, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, noted that the celebrant remains ‘his man’, while denying having a genial relationship with Tinubu.

The denouncement made by the Kaduna State Governor is a follow up to the subtle frosty relationship between him and the former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

Governor El-Rufai, while speaking at an event in Ikoyi, on May 4, 2019, stated that it is easy to end godfatherism in Lagos.

Some sections of the local press would go on to interpret El-Rufais’ remarks as a dig at Tinubu who is the biggest godfather in politics of the southwest region and Lagos State.

Subsequently, the already existing tension over which of the six geo political zones would produce the next presidential candidate in the 2023 general has fuelled fears that the completion of President Buhari’s tenure may spell the end of the ruling party, APC.

However, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has not made any public declaration over the sketchy relationship between him and governor El-Rufai.
