FORMER Governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasir El-Rufai has declared it would have been better if he was sacked from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC so that questions of why he left the party would not have come up.
El-Rufai, who spoke in an interview with the BBC Hausa maintained that he did not leave the APC, but rather, the party abandoned him and its original ideals.
“It could have been easier for me if APC sacked me because they will save me from explaining the stress of why I left the party,” El-Rufai said.
When questioned about whether he anticipated that people might believe he left the APC due to not being appointed as a minister, El-Rufai responded,
“Did I seek to be minister? I know people who paid to get ministerial appointments.”

According to him, he did not regret supporting President Bola Tinubu’s ambition but admitted to feeling disappointed in the way he had been treated.
“I didn’t regret supporting Tinubu’s presidential ambition, but I feel disappointed,” El-Rufai stated.
He further lamented that the APC had become a party where personal interests now dominate governance, making it difficult for those who worked hard for its success to be recognised or rewarded.
“The APC abandoned the ideals that led to its formation. It has abandoned the people. Everyone is now pursuing personal interests and wealth. The government has become a business enterprise where everything has a price,” he stated.

He added that key appointments in the current administration were being controlled by a select group from Lagos, reinforcing his claim that the party no longer upholds fairness and justice.
“There is no justice. Those who worked for the party are not recognised, let alone rewarded. Appointments are now controlled by a select group from Lagos. The party is dead,” El-Rufai said.
Before leaving the APC, El-Rufai said he consulted several political figures, including former president Muhammadu Buhari, Tunde Bakare, Abdullahi Adamu, Adams Oshiomhole, and Bisi Akande, to seek their opinions on the matter.
