The immediate past governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai has taken a swipe at his successor, Governor Uba Sani, for defending the Tinubu-led administration.
Governor Sani, had during an interview on TVC on Monday, slammed politicians plotting to form a coalition to oust Tinubu during the 2027 presidential election.

Gov Sani had said: “Most of these politicians that came out and say they are coming as coalition, they are politicians that were in government only less than two years ago. What did they do when they were in government? They were only fighting for power, not because they could do anything better.

“No president in the history of Nigeria has really practiced democracy like President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”

Reacting in a post on X on Tuesday, El-Rufai described the Governor’s statement as embarrassing and sycophantically rambling.

He accused Sani of defending Tinubu because of the latest federal government reimbursement of billions to the state.

El-Rufai wrote: “Every day I see this governor embarrassingly and sycophantically rambling, I used to wonder why? However, confirming that Federal Government ‘reimbursements, interventions and grants’ in excess of N150bn have been given selectively to Kaduna by Tinubu, in the last 18 months, now explains everything.

“By all means, defend Asiwaju for the conditional cash transfer. Asiwaju has earned it, coming from you. The people of Kaduna State will judge at the right time and place. Have a nice day.”

Shut up, Mr Sickle Cell.
The Senate chose not to make you a minister because they know you'll spend most of the time having a Sickle Cell crisis than discharging your ministerial duties.
Go home and keep taking your medication.
