Unseating Tinubu: Presidency Responds to El-Rufai Claims
The Presidency has responded to claims that former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, is allegedly planning to unseat President Bola Tinubu, suggesting that on his own, El-Rufai might not even be able to secure a Senate seat. This response comes amid growing political speculation and tensions regarding El-Rufai’s future political ambitions following his tenure as governor.
The statement seems to downplay El-Rufai’s political influence, especially after he left office as governor. It suggests that despite his prominence and former leadership role, he might not have the necessary political support to challenge Tinubu’s position, particularly in the Senate or within the broader political structure of the country.
This public back-and-forth indicates underlying power struggles within Nigeria’s political elite, with some figures possibly positioning themselves for future contests, while others try to solidify their influence and dominance within the political sphere.
El-Rufai’s political future remains a topic of interest, and his next moves will be closely watched. However, the Presidency’s comment could indicate an ongoing effort to manage and suppress any potential disruptions to Tinubu’s leadership.
