Former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has said that he would have resigned if he had been appointed a minister in President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
El-Rufai made the assertion in an interview with Channels TV
on Sunday.
According to him, serving as a minister under President
Tinubu was never his ambition, stating that Tinubu had begged him to join the
cabinet but “later changed his mind.”
“I would have probably resigned if I was a minister in
Tinubu’s government.
“I have no desire to be a minister. I don’t care what people
are saying now. I have been a minister when I was much younger,” he said.
El-Rufai was nominated as Minister of Power but reportedly
failed to pass security screening.
The former governor also asserted that the country’s power
sector would have been significantly transformed if he had been appointed
Minister of Power.
