Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, emphasized his straightforward approach to politics on Saturday, stating that he is not one to pretend like a Nollywood actor in governance.
He responded to a Twitter user who suggested that politicians would not want him in their cabinet because he does not pretend.
The user wrote: “The day I read El-Rufai’s book titled Accidental Public Servant, I concluded that no politician would want @elrufai in their cabinet unless they genuinely intend to develop this country. He doesn’t know how to pretend.”
Reacting, El-Rufai posted: “Thanks for your kind words, @irahabib. Truly, I don’t know how to pretend. Being a Nollywood actor in governance is for some others, not some of us. Have a nice day. – @elrufai”
Recently, El-Rufai has been critical of President Bola Tinubu’s administration and the APC, highlighting the party’s lack of internal democracy.
He expressed his disappointment in the fact that no party organ has met in the last two years and stated that he no longer recognizes the APC due to this issue.
