Former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has said that he would have resigned if he had been appointed a minister in President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
El-Rufai made the assertion in an interview with Channels TV on Sunday.
According to him, serving as a minister under President Tinubu was never his ambition, stating that Tinubu had begged him to join the cabinet but “later changed his mind.”
“I would have probably resigned if I was a minister in Tinubu’s government.
“I have no desire to be a minister. I don’t care what people are saying now. I have been a minister when I was much younger,” he said.
El-Rufai was nominated as Minister of Power but reportedly failed to pass security screening.
The former governor also asserted that the country’s power sector would have been significantly transformed if he had been appointed Minister of Power.
