Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has reacted to claims of betrayal by the All Progressives Congress (APC), stating that while he has moved on, those responsible will struggle with their conscience.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), El-Rufai responded to a comment from Yusuf Tukur, PhD, who criticized President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s allies for allegedly denying El-Rufai’s role in their political success.
“We did what we did for God, Country, and Party, expecting nothing in return. What is unfolding is merely another life experience… We have got over it and moved on, but their conscience won’t let them sleep well,” El-Rufai wrote.
His statement comes amid speculations of strained relationships between him and the APC leadership following his unconfirmed ministerial nomination in 2023.
While El-Rufai did not mention specific names, his words suggest senior officials of the Tinubu administration worked against his ministerial appointment.
The former governor was instrumental in mobilizing support for Tinubu during the 2023 elections but has since been attacking the APC for its style of politics.
