El-Rufai’s old video, “I Was Minister At 43, It’s Unfair To Return 20 Years Later,” gets posted online
Nasir El-Rufai, a former governor of Kaduna State, claims it would be unfair for him to serve as a minister again at this time.
In an old video of him speaking with some unidentified people, El-Rufai made this claim.
During the Obasanjo government, the former governor served as the Federal Capital Territory’s minister from 2003 to 2007.
However, it is on the list of ministers that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu sent to the National Assembly for review.
He spoke in Hausa and stated,
“You became a minister at forty-three and after twenty years then you become a minister at sixty-three? What of your children and younger brothers? Will they not become ministers? Is the position meant for you alone? I don’t like this. Let go of this topic.
“Thank God I was lucky that I became Minister of Abuja when I was forty-three-old. Next year I will clock sixty-three. Then I will go back. So, nobody among my younger brothers and children is capable of becoming a minister? You fail when you fail to train those to succeed you. I have trained a lot of people who are capable of succeeding in many areas.”On social media, the video is currently trending.
