"Despite His Chicago Certificate Scandal, We supported Tinubu’s Presidential Bid" – El Rufai

Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has voiced regret over his unwavering support for President Bola Tinubu during the 2023 presidential election, citing the country’s worsening economic and security crises.

In an interview with BBC Hausa on Friday, El-Rufai admitted he believed Tinubu’s leadership would mirror his achievements as Lagos State governor — a hope that, according to him, has fallen flat.

“We supported him despite his challenges, including allegations over his Chicago University certificate and other controversies,” El-Rufai stated. "We believed his performance in Lagos could be replicated on a national scale, but that hasn’t happened."

El-Rufai’s comments come as Nigerians grapple with inflation, insecurity, and hardship, raising questions about the administration’s ability to deliver on its promises.

Shut the phyuk up El-Rufai. Just as APC supported your gubernatorial ambition despite the fact they know you'll spend half of your tenure going into Sickle Cell crisis.
You're just a religious and tribal bigot, Mr Midget.
Tinubu approached you for him presidential ambition.
You gave him condition that unless he divorce his Redeem Christian Church of God pastor wife and marry a Northern Nigerian Muslim.
Hence the reason your ministerial nomination was aborted.
You're just a drowning politician who'll Cling in to any loose tree branch to stay afloat.
Remember the terror you unleash in people if Southern Kaduna. Simply because they're predominantly christians.
Your political career is dead and buried.

Start confessing....you were part of it all, yet your mannerless son will come into social space to insult his father's age mates.
