The immediate past Governor of Kaduna State, Malan Nasir El-Rufai, has blamed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his rejection as ministerial nominee by the National Assembly.
Appearing on Arise TV on Monday evening which was duly monitored by Truth Live News, the former FCT minister said;
“After serving for eight years as governor of Kaduna state, I had my plans. The President publicly appealed to me to put my plans on hold and after sometime we finally agreed that he would nominate me as a minister, and there were certain conditions I attached to that. I think along the line, either the president changed his mind or something else.
“Please, don’t believe the story that the National Assembly rejected me. The President didn’t want me in his cabinet, he changed his mind. Whatever it is, frankly, I don’t care,” he said.
