BREAKING: Tension erupts as El-Rufai reveals saboteurs around Buhari

Nasir El-Rufai, the governor of Kaduna state, has disclosed that there are saboteurs within the presidential villa working against Bola Tinubu, the All Progressive Congress (APC) presidential flagbearer in the 2023 election.

According to The Punch, the governor said this on Wednesday, February 1, while appearing in an interview on Channels Television.

El-Rufai claimed that there are people who are working to ensure that the APC did not win the forthcoming presidential poll.

He added that these saboteurs had their candidate during the APC primary election but their candidate did not win the party's ticket and this is why they are working against Tinubu in the election.

The governor alleged that: "I believe there are elements in the villa that want us to lose the election because they didn’t get their way. They had their candidate but their candidate didn’t win the primary election.

“I think they are still trying to get us to lose the election and they are hiding behind the president’s desire to do what he thinks is right.”

El-Rufai further added that the new policy of the naira redesign by the Central Bank of Nigeria has inflicted more hardship on the common man in Nigeria, particularly the people in the rural area.

According to the governor, the policy may turn the people against the APC candidate in the forthcoming election.
