Former Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State has been exposed by Social Democratic Party (SDP) presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, Adewole Adebayo.
Adebayo said: “The issue is that I see him as an asset, as a hard-working person and he has a verifiable and measurable track record of public performance. What I believe is that he has his weaknesses which he needs to work on but I am not his mentor or therapist.”
“What I know is that Nigerians have a bird’s eye view of el-Rufai, they will consider some of the comments he’s made and some other aspects. Overall, Nigerians will say: ‘Here is a very good public servant.”
“Nigeria is diverse and you will find patriots on all sides. It doesn’t mean that if you narrow the discussion to particular areas, I will agree with Nasir el-Rufai on many of them but I agree with the fact that he is a hard-working person and a highly intelligent person.”
“I consider APC to be a lousy coalition of people who do not know what governance is all about and who are very good with politics of how to capture power.”
Also, the National Secretary of SDP, Olu Agunloye said:
“El-Rufai is well known for his vibrant productivity as proprietor of intercellular company, as boss of BPE, as minister, as governor of Kaduna and as a person and politician. He will add value.”
“The former minister and former governor, El-Rufai, is welcome to our great party. The key issue is not about how to welcome or celebrate him but what he is bringing on the table and what his motives and programmes are.”
“But he will have to disclose his reasons for leaving the ruling party to join SDP. But I presume it is related to 2027 because we are in the season of alignments, alliances, and coalitions for power.”
