Nasir El-Rufai Going by the arising political development in the country, and purposely the recent self-engaged discussion that led to the defection of the former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Social Democratic Party (SDP), many political analysts may have to dearly deal with some questions which can easily be centralized on If El-Rufai were to be Tinubu?
If El-Rufai Were To Be Tinubu, Would He Have Engaged A Driver Who Had Seen Nothing Good In His Legacy?
Sometimes around 2019, Nasir El-Rufai, possibly out of power intoxication recalling that he is the prince of former President Muhammadu Buhari's presidential palace, carelessly made some statements centralizing on his aim to ending godfatherism in Lagos.
The statement directly targeted Bola Ahmed Tinubu and it was a mockery jab, made after several failed attempt to ridicule the political providence of Chief Tinubu.
Probably, El-Rufai failed to understand that Tinubu had a continent of followers who never all forget the history of how far their nations have gone.
Giving El-Rufai an opportunity to serve under the presidency of Bola Ahmed Tinubu is nothing but an avenue to help him have access to the secret behind the godfatherism he opted to end in Lagos.
If El-Rufai were to be Tinubu, would he have engaged a driver who has all his mind full of determination to wipe off his legacy?
If El-Rufai Were To Be Tinubu, Would He Have Engaged A Driver Who Had Severally Attempted To Send Him To Oblivion?
Immediately after the 2015 general election, former President Muhammadu Buhari got surrounded by some political colonels who teamed up and ensured they lock the political generalismo of Chief Tinubu to his Bourdillon Political Barracks in Ikoyi, Lagos.
This also trended:
Chief Tinubu, who was the rallying point during the electioneering campaign ahead of 2015 general election was almost reduced to a stranger within the political he co-founded.
To be sincere, can El-Rufai simply give response to this question; During these days, was El-Rufai with Tinubu or anti-Tinubus?
First, they stripped Tinubu of the merely consoling title of "National leader of APC".
Later, they set-up a full cabinet without considering his input. Rather, they engaged some of his old boys with oath of turning themselves against him.
Look at the case of Rauf Aregbesola, Yemi Osinbajo, Late Rotimi Akeredolu once joined the team but later alighted when he was convinced the team was destructive, couples of other Tinubu boys were recruited against him by the same political coup plotters attempting to ending godfatherism in Lagos.
Again, it is simple, if El-Rufai were to be Tinubu, would he have engaged someone who is ready to eradicate him at all cost and with nothing to gain?
If El-Rufai Were To Be Tinubu, Would He Have Engaged A Driver Who Had Attempted To Unclothe Him, Publicly?
Arguably, after failure in the attempts to get Tinubu demoralized after the 2015 general election, and his strategic support to former President Muhammadu Buhari's second term reelection in 2019, the Presidential Palace Prince, to which El-Rufai seemingly belonged, started means to unclothe Chief Tinubu.
This also trended:
The first attempt was promising Yemi Osinbajo a 2023 Presidential ticket, a truck that turned a beneficiary against the goodwill of his benefactor.
Deceptively, the aforementioned trick was used to ease Comrade Adams Oshiomole from Office as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), knowing keenly that it would have been impossible for anyone to contest against Chief Tinubu if Oshiomole was to remain the National Chairman of the party till 2023.
They allegedly made Oshiomole to enter into an agreement ahead of the Edo 2020 Governorship election, and the same Prince of the Muhammadu Buhari's presidential palace went ahead to deploy the presidential might against their own political party, and in favour of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), all because they want an agreement to fail, so they could unclothe Chief Tinubu, politically.
Chief Tinubu successfully scaled through all these, and later fought further to ensure he became the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, defeating many hostiles who were demoralized, disarmed and left politically stranded such that some of them joined his ship for die-minute safety just like some followers of Pharaoh did when Prophet Musa (p.b.u.h) (Moses) showed his superiority; many went underground in silence till today just like those who waged war against Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) when he returned to Mecca from Medina; while many are yet to recover till today just like those who were severely traumatized after attempting to disrespect the superiority of Prophet Sulaiman (p.b.u.h) (Solomon).
The question is if El-Rufai were to be Tinubu, would he have engaged someone who had done everything to unclothe him in his cabinet?
Unfortunately, unlike Chief Tinubu had been able to comfort himself when he was restricted to his Bourdillon Political Barracks between 2015 and 2023, even after selling the APC's presidential campaign on his personal manifesto, El-Rufai, within just two years of being restricted to his Kaduna political abode, had just showed the World that he is seemingly never a Tinubu who ensured 8 years' attempt to ridicule him which later strengthen him to bounce even above all his opponents.
