Former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has declared that he has never had a personal or political relationship with President Bola Tinubu, insisting that their paths were never destined to align
El-Rufai, who is a chieftain of the coalition-led African Democratic Congress (ADC), made the remarks during an interview on Trust TV, where he dismissed claims that he and Tinubu were once friends or political allies.
“I think it’s important to make this clarification. There is an assumption that I was ever Tinubu’s friend. I was not. We never got along with Tinubu. We never had a personal relationship,” El-Rufai said.
He explained that his involvement in Tinubu’s 2023 presidential bid was not driven by personal loyalty but by political principle and party discipline within the All Progressives Congress (APC).
