    El-Rufai mocks Daniel Bwala over remarks on APC administration

    Nasir El-Rufai has criticised the President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Policy Communications, Daniel Bwala, over his remarks on the administration of the All Progressive Congress, APC administration.

    The former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai on Thursday stated that if he were in the President Bola Tinubu-led federal government, his stance on remarks about the administration would remain unchanged.

    El-Rufai made the remark in his response to the President’s Special Adviser on Policy Communications, Daniel Bwala.

    Chronicle NG reports that El-Rufai at a national conference in Abuja on strengthening democracy in Nigeria on Monday had described the state of governance and opposition in the country as a “national emergency.”

    The former governor also lamented the lack of internal democracy and active party structures within the All Progressives Congress, APC, saying, “I no longer recognise the APC. No party organ has met in two years—no caucus, no NEC, nothing. You don’t even know if it is a one-man show; it’s a zero-man show.’

    In reaction, the ruling APC slammed El-Rufai, accusing him of betrayal for lately dragging the Federal Government and the ruling party.

    This prompted Bwala to ask the APC chieftain via his X handle, “My Senior brother, if you were in the government and cabinet, would you have held and expressed the same position?”

    “History is replete with examples. It is a government you participated in its formation that you now want to unseat. Haba Mallam, a Ji soron Allah mana.”

    On Thursday, El-Rufai, via his X handle, asserted his stance, as he called out “latter-day converts” to the Tinubu administration for insisting he wanted to serve as a minister in the current government.

    “Good morning, #BwalaDaniel, I was cabinet minister 22 years ago and was clear to Asiwaju that I was not interested in any position in his future government. The pathetic manner in which all of you latter-day converts to the Tinubu government make an issue of something that I never wanted in the first place is perhaps a reflection of the level of your moral flexibility.

    “If I had remained in the Tinubu government, I would say or do the same on the tragedy within a party I was a founder of and the government that emerged from it—first in private sessions with those concerned and then going public if no remedial actions are taken. Go and check my public service record from 1998.

    “I am only responding to you because I still think you are a decent person who may need a job, and not in the class of Wendell Simlin and that Kaduna pretender that our voters retired in 2019—these clowns are political mercenaries that receive humongous monthly stipends from the security vote to be the first to jump on X and other platforms to defend everything the Asiwaju government does or fails to do, no matter how indefensible it may be.

    “Enjoy your special adviser position, my brother, but remember that allegiance to God and country comes first in the human scale of accountability, before any person or authority.”
