The former party of the ex governor of Kaduna State (Mallam Nasir el-Rufai) - APC has described him as a delusional and selfish fellow.
“Nigerians are far more savvy than El-Rufai thinks. And they know that he is driven by raw self-interest rather than a genuine concern for the country,” APC declared.
APC gave its verdict through Felix Morka, the National Publicity Secretary on Monday. This came in as a response to the ex governor's criticism to the party.
During an interview with BBC Hausa, El-Rufai deviated from the progressive principles of the party and was dominated as a politicians who is pursuing personal interests.
In response to that, APC said: “El-Rufai stands diminished as the epitome of a self-interested politician, blinded by ego, driven by untamed emotion, and brimming with a vengeful desire to collapse the system.
“His claim that he exited because the party had deviated from its founding values or progressive ideology is a smokescreen to weaponise personal grievance garbed as principled dissent.
“He appears traumatised by his failure to land a ministerial position.
“Exactly how is the SDP, his new political abode, an ideological safe haven?
“El-Rufai’s claim that Tinubu has failed is as outrageous as it is bogus, and a gross distortion of the reality on the ground.
“Across all sectors, Nigerians are witnessing tangible progress in the delivery of the President’s campaign promises.”
El-Rufai is just bitter for not being able to secure a ministerial appointment in this current administration - President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's regime, APC says.
“El-Rufai is free to choose his political affiliation as he has done. He should quit sulking, get a grip, and salvage some respectability,” APC added
