The Executive Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai was interviewed earlier today, 1st February 2023 on Sunrise Daily's morning show program on Channels TV. El-Rufai said there are some bad elements under President Muhammadu Buhari's administration working so hard to ensure the ruling party loses the February 25 presidential election.
In his statement during the interview, El-Rufai said:
“Most of the people in the villa are not members of our party. I believe there are elements in the villa that want us to lose the election because they didn’t have their way”.
“They had their candidates, and their candidates didn’t win the primaries and I think they are still trying to get us to lose the election and they are hiding behind the president’s desire to do what he thinks is right,” El-Rufail added.
After the interview, the First Lady, Mrs. Aisha Buhari took to her Instagram page to share the video clip of Governor Nasir El-Rufai speaking about the saboteurs in Aso Villa. Caption “#longlivethefederalrepublicofnigeria”.
It was recalled in October 2016, when the First Lady publicly announced that she might not support the re-election bid of her husband, based on the ground that Buhari is being controlled by some people. Similarly, in December 2019, Aisha said “bad people have taken over the country from people who are supposed to be in charge”.
