Stop Wailing Over Ministerial Snub, Presidency Tells El-Rufai

President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, says Former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai is hurting for being left out during Tinubu’s ministerial appointment.

El-Rufai was initially nominated as a minister by Tinubu while the president was forming his cabinet but was eventually screened out by the Senate.

With the fallout of the ministerial appointment, El-Rufai has in recent times become critical of the Tinubu administration and the All Progressives Congress.

In a recent interview, El-Rufai claimed that it was not the Senate that rejected him as a Minister but President Tinubu himself.

But speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Tuesday, Onanuga said that even though El-Rufai worked hard for Tinubu’s emergence as president, it is time for him to move on from the disappointment of not being made a minister.

“I will pity former Kaduna State governor Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, he feels hurt that he was not made a minister, but I think it’s time for him to move on,” Onanuga said.

“You cannot continue to behave like a child as if someone stole his bread and things like that and then you are crying over spilt milk.”
