The former lawmaker who represented Kaduna Central senatorial district in the National Assembly, Shehu Sani, has thrown veiled shades at immediate past governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, following his allegations that President Bola Tinubu changed his mind about making him a minister after begging him publicly to be a part of his administration.
El-Rufai had in an interview with Arise Television on Monday night, said after Tinubu had begged him to come on board and be a part of his cabinet, the president, for reasons best known to him, made a u-turn and changed his mind.
“The president begged me publicly to come and serve in his government; I had my plans and I told President Tinubu from day one when he asked me to support him, I said I would but I don’t want anything, because politics in Nigeria is always about what do I get for giving you support?” El-Rufai had said.
In a post he shared on his X handle on Tuesday, Sani called El-Rufai a traitor who had betrayed some of his trusted allies including late President Musa Yar’adua.
Sani noted that no president in his sane mind would trust a man who has a penchant for selling out his friends for his political ambitions.
‘Neither in the present nor in the nearest future; No Nigerian President in his right senses will ever closely embrace or trust a man who repeatedly celebrated and gloated about sending President Yar’adua to his grave,” Sen. Sani wrote.
‘Its a case of “if you can do this and say this about your own brother what about me?
“No one will ever admit a man into his house who came with a sword stained with the blood of his brother”, Sani wrote.
