El-Rufai accuses Tinubu of incompetence, Nepotism, betrayal

 

Former governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State has rated Nigeria low in all critical sectors under the administration of President Bola Tinubu

According to the chieftain of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), the country has been moving backwards since Tinubu assumed office on May 29th, 2025.

El-Rufai, who made the allegations in an interview with Deutsche Welle Hausa in Katsina, described the situation in the country as worrisome and alarming.

The former governor accused Tinubu’s administration of incompetence, nepotism and betrayal of the founding ideals of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

He further alleged that Nigeria was worse off today in terms of insecurity, economy and governance than it was under previous administrations.

“Ever since the assumption of office of Tinubu as Nigeria’s president, the country has begun to go backwards.

“Insecurity has increased, the economy is dwindling, affluent people are now poor, and ethnic profiling is on the rise.

“Whoever he is giving an appointment to must be someone he knows or from his tribe.

“They can dismiss that, but Nigerians are not stupid. There is no way your name is this, and they will say no, you are from Katsina,” he said.
