Daniel Bwala, the special adviser to the president on media and policy, says the defection of Nasir el-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna, from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) was fuelled by his “inordinate ambition”.
Earlier on Monday, el-Rufai announced his resignation from
the APC to join the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
The former governor said his values no longer align with the
ruling party and vowed to collaborate with leaders of opposition parties to
work against the APC in future elections.
Reacting to the development, Bwala said el-Rufai’s defection
and proposed coalition with the opposition is not “an ideology but an
inordinate ambition that is destined to fail”.
“Senior, el-Rufai, I read the news today that you resigned
from APC to join SDP. Well, I have nothing against you because you exercised
your constitutional right,” he wrote on X.
“However, the motive is what we would interrogate in the
coming days and remind Nigerians that you are not a phenomenal that emerges
like a clap of thunder out of a blue sky.
“We would intellectually remind you that associating with
sore losers to unseat the incumbent is not an ideology, nor is it
progressivism; It is simply an inordinate ambition that is destined to fail.”
