A political firestorm has ignited following an interview by former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai on Arise Television, excerpts of which were shared by Leadership Newspaper.
In the interview, El-Rufai controversially claimed, “I brought Evil Tinubu to power, I should remove him now,” which is said to be signaling a dramatic fallout with President Bola Tinubu. The statement, reported just few hours before Lere Olayinka, an aide to Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, took to X to respond.
Olayinka, known for his sharp political commentary, dismissed El-Rufai’s assertion, stating, “Èsù kékeré òde is still dreaming. Someone who said he paid terrorists as governor. Mtcheeeeew.” His remarks allude to El-Rufai’s past admission on live television of paying herders and terrorists during his 2015-2023 tenure, a policy criticized for potentially fueling regional instability. The aide’s retort is said tk suggest a deep-seated skepticism about El-Rufai’s credibility, aligning with Minister Wike’s long-standing narrative.
