Nnaji certificate forgery: Tinubu wanted El-Rufai politically irrelevant – Aisha Yesufu
Aisha Yesufu, a socio-political activist, has disclosed that President Bola Tinubu wanted to make former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai politically irrelevant and humiliate him.
Yesufu said the Senate would have confirmed El-Rufai as Minister despite reports indicting him by the Department of State Services, DSS.
Her comment comes amid the alleged certificate forgery and resignation of Uche Nnaji, former Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology.
Reacting to a comment by Arise Television’s anchor, Rufai Oseni that the current DSS Director General couldn’t have screened Nnaji and not detect the forgery case, she wrote: “Nasir El Rufai’s case is that Tinubu wanted to humiliate him. DSS excuse was just that, excuse.
“Even if DSS had found him wanting, with the National Assembly deeply In Tinubu’s pocket, he could have commanded them to confirm him.
“Also, even after the National Assembly had refused to confirm him, Tinubu could have either given him an appointment that didn’t need confirmation from the National Assembly or made him a strong ally like that of Buhari’s nephew Mamman Daura. He didn’t, he left him out in the cold.
“Tinubu wants El-Rufai to be politically irrelevant and El-Rufai needs to have Tinubu removed from office in 2027 to regain his political credibility. In all of it, na dem dem.”
