KEY POINTS FROM Nasir El-Rufai INTERVIEW

Hassan Turaki.

●I won’t be available for the APC Caucus meeting tomorrow, but my friends will be there. I had my plans of travelling to Cairo scheduled for tomorrow.

●Anyone can be member of a party, but party leadership has to do with qualifications and reward for what you stand for the party, that’s what we did in Kaduna state.

●In 2023, I was indifferent about who becomes the president, when Tinubu became the flag bearer of my party, so I was bound to support him, though there’s elements around the president that tried to do otherwise which Zulum called me and said this is what is happening, we came together as Northern governors forum, we truncated that and insisted that the APC flag bearer must be from the South, who the Southerners gives us is left to them, that’s what transpired.

●In 2023, we consulted widely, including President Buhari then, and other APC executives in Kaduna, same thing will happen in 2027. I will consult widely before throwing my support.

●The appointments is not balanced, that’s true, but it is not a Yoruba thing, Tinubu is appointing his boys, not Yoruba people, there’s clear difference.

●Uba Sani has been my friend for many many years, but not anymore, because the concept of friendship is to be there for you when you needed them the most, Uba Sani and Nuhu Ribadu used to be my friend. But I think something happened, not anymore.

●If I am relevant in Kaduna State or not? Well, we will see who is more relevant when the time comes.

●I read the report of Kaduna State Assembly that so so billions were syphoned, they did not state from where to where, money cannot just disappear, I told all my commissioners to calm down, we have been invited by ICPC, they found nothing yet, the EFCC has also done their investigation and nothing was discovered.

●Nuhu Ribadu is the architect of all that you see that is going on with these investigations working alongside with Uba Sani to destroy my reputation, Nuhu Ribadu has plans to contest for President in 2031.
