He is a selfish person who does not have the interest of Nigerians at heart, He has always wanted to be a member of the cabal in Buhari\u2019s government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd right now he is working to be a cabal in Tinubu\u2019s presidency. This is why you see him walking about pretending to be working for Tinubu and trying to impose a man who is sick on Nigerians. He has always been like that. If you could remember in 2019 when he threatened that people will leave Kaduna in body bags. That\u2019s the type of person he is.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re going to make official reports that Governor El-Rufia and others are the people trying to truncate democracy. Remember the US Government has threatened to enforce a Visa ban on people who are trying to disrupt or interfere with the process unduly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo we have decided that &#8230;I mean, even as individuals we can make a report to the US Government to necessitate and front actions against these individuals as we see them as people who would interfere in the process of the election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t forget that El-Rufai threatened during the 2019 general election that people will leave Kaduna in body bags. We\u2019ll put this together in pushing forward our report.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
