A former governor of Sokoto state, Attahiru Bafarawa has taken a swipe at Kaduna Ktate governor, Nasir El-Rufai for claiming that the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu must win in 2023, with or without the support of those who think they are the northern elders. El-Rufai, in an outburst of anger during an interview with the BBC Hausa Service, lambasted those he called 'a presidency cabal backed by some elders in Northern Nigeria” whom he said were “working to scuttle the victory of Bola Tinubu'.
Former Sokoto Governor, Bafarawa, Lambasts Governor El-Rufai For Claiming Tinubu Must Win 2023 Presidential ElectionA former governor of Sokoto state, Attahiru Bafarawa has taken a swipe at Kaduna Ktate governor, Nasir El-Rufai for claiming that the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress , Bola Ahmed Tinubu must win in 2023, with or without the support of those who think they are the northern elders.
"The new naira notes redesign and the current acute shortage of petrol are among some of the strategies put in place to decampaign Tinubu, but they'll not succeed.” Reacting to El-Rufai's ventilation of anger, Bafarawa asked,"Why would El-Rufai assert that whether the North likes it or not, Tinubu must win? He is being delusional because who deceived him that Northerners are all APC members?
"Let El-Rufai be told that the Northern region is greater than any individual. And anyone who tries to undermine the region will certainly be punished. For him to have defied the elders of the region, he must face the consequences of his action.
