APC just ignored El-Rufai despite his sharp brain & organizational skills—Joe Igbokwe
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Joe Igbokwe has faulted the party over its attitude towards former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai.
Igbokwe lamented that APC just ignored El-Rufai without thinking of how the party got to its current level.
Posting on his Facebook page, Igbokwe described the former governor as a fearless leader, key player and organizer.
Igbokwe said: “I do not know why the leadership of APC Nigeria thinks that a scholar with huge brain, a bold thinker, a fearless leader, a facilitator, a key player, a team player, organizer like Mallam El-Rufai can just be ignored as if we do not know how we got here.”
El-Rufai, a founding father of the APC, has been sidelined since President Bola Tinubu assumed office.
Tinubu had nominated El-Rufai for a ministerial role but the Senate failed to clear him.
El-Rufai’s successor, Governor Sani Uba’s administration had instituted a probe against him over alleged misappropriation of funds while in office.
What Joe Igbokwe forgot to add is the fate of Rotimi Amaechi who APC abandoned despite Amaechi risking his life for the party by betraying his fellow kinsman Goodluck Jonathan to discredit him and scuttle his government.
