Aso Rock ‘elements’ working against Tinubu’s victory, says El-Rufai [VIDEO]

Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, has said some people in Aso Rock Villa are working to frustrate the victory of All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, during this month’s election.

El-Rufai said while featuring on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily on Wednesday.

He said, “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. Their candidate did not win the primaries.”

“They are trying to get us to lose the election, and they are hiding behind the president’s desire to do what he thinks is right. I will give two examples: this petroleum subsidy, which is costing the country trillions of Naira, was something that we all agreed would be removed.

“In fact, I had a discussion with the president and showed him why it had to go. Because how can you have a capital budget of N200bn for federal roads and then spend N2 Trillion on petroleum subsidy? This was a conversation I had with the president in 2021 when the subsidy thing started rising. He was convinced. We left. It changed. Everyone in the government agreed, and it changed.”
