Former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has thrown another shade at his critics after President Bola Tinubu sent him a message on his birthday.
The former FCT Minister celebrated his birthday on February 16 and among those who sent him goodwill messages was President Tinubu despite his constant criticism of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) which has put him on the war path against top leaders of the party and to him, the message from Tinubu where he praised the former governor has shamed his detractors.
Amid his criticism of the APC, Tinubu sent El-Rufai a birthday message in which he praised the former governor.
“MONDAY MESSAGE: It has been about a week since many friends, associates, and admirers sent me various messages and prayers in commemoration of my 65th birthday,” the former governor wrote.
“The prayers and good wishes were quite humbling and gratifying, but far too many and overwhelming for individual acknowledgment or response by me, hence this message.
“I want to thank everyone who sent me their prayers and best wishes, including those who didn’t want to until President Tinubu’s message shamed them into action.
“May the Almighty God accept our prayers and continue to shower His blessings on us and our people.
“I have tried to repost, retweet, and share all the birthday messages I received, but as an imperfect mortal, I am sure I couldn’t have done so with all. If I didn’t with yours, please forgive me. It is an omission of the head, not of the heart.
