Governor Nasir El-Rufai has exonerated Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, from those he alleged to be working against the victory of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in the coming presidential election.<\/p>\n

El-Rufai, clarifying in an interview granted Arise TV, in a viral video which circulated on Friday, February 3, 2023, said against insinuations in certain quarters, those he referred to were certain northerners like President Muhammadu Buhari, whom he said failed in their bid to make another northern succeed the President.<\/p>\n

He said those “elements” had made efforts to present certain aspirants to contest in the June 2022 presidential primaries of the party so they can field a candidate to succeed President Buhari, but after they lost out, they began to work against the success of the party in the coming polls, noting categorically that VP Osinbajo was not part of them.<\/p>\n

“This thought, this thinking to change the currency is designed just to bring a serious bottleneck that will affect the outcome of the election because these same people wanted President Buhari to be succeeded by someone else, and that person did not win an election and that person is not the Vice President, because I saw some reports in the newspapers…,” El-Rufai said.<\/p>\n
