Nasir El-Rufai, former governor of Kaduna State, says he was not rejected by the National Assembly as a ministerial nominee.
Speaking on Tuesday during an interview on Arise TV’s Prime Time, El-Rufai said President Bola Tinubu simply “changed his mind on the nomination”
“President Tinubu begged me publicly to serve in his government. After two months of negotiations, we finally agreed that he would nominate me as minister. I think along the line, either the president changed his mind. Please don’t believe the story that the NASS rejected me; the National Assembly has nothing to do with this. President Tinubu didn’t want me in his cabinet.”
