Newscenter Media News Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has doubled down on his recent attacks against the All Progressives Congress, APC, and President Bola Tinubu’s government.
El-Rufai maintained that his party, the APC, and the nation are facing an existential crisis of monumental proportions.
“Thanks for caring. I will be surprised too, @itumasunny2496.
“However, is it not self-evident that it is the APC that has left me stuck in the ideals and visions of its founding fathers and mothers?
“What do you suggest I do then? Please don’t suggest doing nothing. Our party and nation are facing an existential crisis of monumental proportions. Good morning. – @elrufai,” El-Rufai posted on X on Thursday.
The ex-governor had earlier taken a swipe at APC, accusing it of abandoning its founding principles and fostering poor leadership.
He also described the state of governance and opposition in the country as a “national emergency.”
His criticisms had also attracted condemnation from the Presidency.
Responding to the criticism, the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communications, Daniel Bwala, accused El-Rufai of wanting to unseat the current government he helped to form.
Bwala questioned if El-Rufai would have expressed the same position if he were in the government.
Also, former lawmaker representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Senator Shehu Sani, lambasted El-Rufai over his recent political remarks.
Sani opined that the former governor practiced tyranny while in power, expressing surprise how El-Rufai now preaches democracy after leaving office.
