He feels hurt that he was not made a minister, but I think it has been a long time now,\u201d special adviser on information and strategy to President Tinubu, Onanuga, said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMinisters were appointed in August 2023, and I believe it\u2019s time for him to move on. He cannot continue to behave like a child, as if someone stole his bread\u2026 crying over spilt milk, as we say.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is natural for him to feel hurt and bad about being excluded. However, as the president acknowledged in his recent tribute to him, Nasir actually played a significant role in helping to install President Tinubu.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStill, if he is not part of the government, that does not mean he must bring down the roof. The president has nothing against him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe Nasir feels naturally hurt by his exclusion, which is why he is going everywhere campaigning against the president. This shows a man who resents being left out of the moving train and refuses to let go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a brother and former governor, my advice to him is simple: he should forget about it if he was not made a minister.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has been in public service since 1999, and I think the hurt started when he was not appointed a minister. That explains why he has been making these statements.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven yesterday, in an interview with Arise TV, he claimed that it was the president who blocked his appointment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>El-Rufai, had also hinted at leaving the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The former Kaduna governor also accused Tinubu of appointing only his \u201cboys\u201d from Lagos for key political positions.
