Truly, I don\u2019t know how to pretend. Being a Nollywood actor in governance is for some others, not some of us. Have a nice day. \u2013 @elrufai,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, El-Rufai has been in the news for criticizing the All Progressives Congress (APC) for deviating from its core values.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at an event in Abuja, he expressed disappointment, saying, \u201cI am a founding member of the APC, but I no longer recognize it. No party organ has met in two years\u2014no caucus, no NEC, nothing. I don\u2019t even know if it is a one-man show. It is a zero-man show.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe wanted to build a progressive party to fight corruption, revive the economy, and restore security for Nigerians. But where is the APC now? It has left me behind. Political engagement should focus on fixing the economy, restoring security, and fighting corruption. But these issues remain unresolved,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>In response, Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser on Policy Communication to President Bola Tinubu, questioned whether El-Rufai would have maintained the same stance if he were in the cabinet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy senior brother, would you have held and expressed the same position if you were in government and the cabinet? History is replete with examples. You were part of forming this government, yet you now seek to unseat it,\u201d Bwala remarked.<\/p>\n<p>Replying via X, El-Rufai clarified that he had already informed Tinubu that he was not interested in any position in his administration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was a cabinet minister 22 years ago and made it clear to Asiwaju that I was not interested in any position in his future government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe way all of you latter-day converts to the Tinubu government make an issue of something I never wanted in the first place reflects your moral flexibility.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I had remained in the Tinubu government, I would still speak up about the party\u2019s failings\u2014first privately, then publicly if no corrective action was taken.
