According to reports, Nasir El-Rufai, the former Governor of Kaduna State, has withdrew his interest in becoming a minister in the current administration.
The story, which Vanguard has yet to validate, stated the grounds for El-Rufai’s departure.
According to the report, el-Rufai informed President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday that he intends to “focus on his doctorate programme at a university in The Netherlands.” He promised Tinubu his outside support.
In an online interview prior to the presidential election, El-Rufai indicated that he would “prefer to support Tinubu as an outsider; to tell him what others cannot.”
Premium Times posted the film, and it has subsequently resurfaced online.
Remember that the Senate evaluated 48 nominees for cabinet positions, including El-Rufai. Sadly, el-Rufai was not confirmed along with Stella Okotete, a contender from Delta State, and Sani Danladi, a former senator from Taraba.
El-Rufai, Danladi, and Okotet’s refusal to corroborate security reports against them was grounded by the upper chamber.
Senate, however, confirmed 45 nominees which include: former minister of state for labour and employment Festus Keyamo, Ekperikpe Ekpo (Akwa Ibom), Heineken Lolokpobri (Bayelsa), Betta Edu (Cross River), John Owan Enoh (Cross River), Festus Keyamo (Delta), Abubakar Momoh (Edo), Nyesom Wike (Rivers), Tahir Mamman (Adamawa), Yusuf Maitama Tuggar (Adamawa).
Additional members included Ali Pate (Bauchi), Abubakar Kyari (Borno), Alkali Ahmed Saidu (Gombe), Uba Maigari Ahmadu (Taraba), Ibrahim Geidam (Yobe), Mohamed Badaru (Jigawa), Mariya Mahmoud Bunkure (Kano), and Abdullahi Tijjani Gwarzo (Kano).
Also present were David Umahi (Ebonyi), Uche Nnaji (Enugu), Doris Uzoka (Imo), Dele Alake (Ekiti), Tunji Alausa, and Lola Ade John from Lagos State. Ahmad Dangiwa, Hannatu Musawa, Yusuf Tanko Sununu, Bello M. Goronyo, and Atiku Bagudu were all from Katsina.
Ishak Salako, Bosun Tijani, and Olawale Edun, all from Ogun State, are among the confirmed cabinet nominees. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo (Ondo), Adegboyega Oyetola (Osun), Adebayo Adelabu (Oyo), Joseph Utsev (Benue), Zaphaniah Bitrus Jisalo (FCT), Shaibu Abubakar Audu (Kogi), Lateef Fagbemi (Kwara), Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim (Nasarawa), Mohammed Idris and Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi from Niger State and Simon Bako Lalong (Plateau). .
