Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State has hinted that some aides to president Muhammadu Buhari are plotting for the failure of Asiwaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu; the foremost presidential candidate in the country and respected national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in the upcoming election.
He made the allegations on Wednesday morning when he was featured on Channels Television’s Sunrise Programme while responding to the current economic challenges and plans the party and its presidential candidate have to ensure that all is well with the country if they win the election.
He, however, ascertained that the interest of the ruling party was to ensure that its candidate, Tinubu, succeed Buhari, but the president’s aides are working at cross purposes.
To further their schemes, El-Rufai said that they have ensured that the Federal Government introduced policies and programmes including currency redesign, to create hardship within the country and frustrate the party’s effort towards winning the poll.
The governor explained that these aides started the plot using President Muhammadu Buhari after all efforts to get their preferred candidate to win the APC primary failed, resulting to other plans that could scuttle the ruling party chances during the election.
He added that, not all those working with Buhari were members of the APC and this formed reasons there had been a cold war between the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) and the Aso Villa.
