Coalition Agenda Merely a Performance for Tinubu – APC’s Eta on El-Rufai

After failing to get a position in the current administration, former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai chose to join the effort to establish a coalition against President Bola Tinubu, according to former All Progressives Congress (APC) National Vice Chairman Hilliard Eta.
El-Rufai, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, and Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) 2023 presidential candidate, were reportedly leading the effort to establish a coalition against Tinubu.
There is nothing unique about El-Rufai, Eta said during an appearance on AIT Focus Nigeria, emphasizing that he and other individuals played a bigger role in electing Tinubu as president than the former governor.

Tinubu is an expert at establishing alliances, the APC chieftain said, dismissing the coalition move.
He stated that the most of them were once friends of the current president, and individuals such as El-Rufai believed he may be appointed Minister under Asiwaju.

You raise the question of whether El-Rufai would be working on coalition today if he had been minister at the time. He would undoubtedly be showing Nigerians his report card at this point in his government, whether he wants to or not.

“Let me tell El-Rufai that if we couldn’t be ministers, why should he be special? People like us played a bigger role in the president’s creation than he did.

Individuals like Kwankwaso and Aregbesola were strong allies of Tinubu; they are self-centered and narrow-minded.

“Keep in mind that this is the maestro of coalition building; he has been there since the days of NADECO. Keep that in mind while you are fighting and trying to construct a coalition.

Since self-preservation, not enlightenment, is what motivates many of our people to enter politics, what you are doing now is really a game for him. What makes you believe that it won’t come to you later if it hasn’t come to you yet? Even if it doesn’t affect you personally, everyone benefits when the nation improves.
