Former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai has criticized his successor, Governor Uba Sani, for backing President Bola Tinubu, suggesting that Sani’s support is motivated by personal gains.
In a post on X, El-Rufai alleged that Sani’s unwavering support for Tinubu is related to over N150 billion in federal reimbursements that Kaduna State has received in the past 18 months.
“Every day I see this governor embarrassingly and sycophantically rambling, I used to wonder why? However, confirming that the Federal Government ‘reimbursements, interventions, and grants’ in excess of N150bn have been given selectively to Kaduna by Tinubu in the last 18 months now explains everything.
“By all means, defend Asiwaju for the conditional cash transfer. Asiwaju has earned it, coming from you. The people of Kaduna State will judge at the right time and place. Have a nice day,” El-Rufai wrote.
Gov Sani’s Support for Tinubu
Governor Sani stated this during a television appearance in Lagos. “Most of these politicians that came out and say they are coming as a coalition, they are politicians that were in government only less than two years ago.
‘’What did they do when they were in government? They were only fighting for power, not because they could do anything better.
“No president in the history of Nigeria has really practiced democracy like President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
