In a bold and uncompromising statement, former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has launched a blistering attack on his successor, Uba Sani, accusing him of sycophantic behavior and unabashedly pandering to President Bola Tinubu for personal gain. The fiery remarks, made via the official X handle of Nigerian Stories, have sent shockwaves through the political landscape of the state, reigniting tensions between the two political figures.
El-Rufai, who has long been a dominant figure in the Nigerian political arena, expressed his deep dissatisfaction with what he termed Sani’s unprincipled approach to leadership, citing instances where the governor appeared more concerned with currying favor with the President than addressing the pressing needs of Kaduna’s citizens. According to El-Rufai, Sani’s actions reflect a dangerous desire for power and influence at any cost, even at the expense of the state’s development and its people’s well-being.
The former governor, known for his unfiltered commentary and unapologetic stance on political matters, did not mince words in his critique. He called for a leadership that prioritizes the people of Kaduna over personal ambitions and warned that the state could face significant setbacks if the current trajectory persists.
The clash between El-Rufai and Sani is set to be a major talking point in Nigerian politics, as it highlights the rift between old and new leadership in Kaduna State. It remains to be seen whether this public feud will escalate further, but one thing is clear—El-Rufai’s words have ignited a firestorm of debate that will continue to dominate discussions in the political corridors of power.
