“El-Rufai Asserts Political Independence: ‘Tinubu Is Desperate To Work With Me, I Am Bigger Than Any Godfather'”

By Daniel Edu

Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has reportedly stated that Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a prominent Nigerian politician and former governor of Lagos State, is eager to collaborate with him. El-Rufai asserted that he holds a higher status than any political godfather.

El-Rufai’s statement appears to highlight his confidence and assertiveness in his political career. It suggests that he does not view himself as being beholden to any influential figure within the Nigerian political landscape, including Tinubu, who has often been referred to as a political godfather due to his influence on certain political figures.

This statement reflects the ongoing dynamics and power struggles within Nigerian politics, where alliances and rivalries among politicians are constantly evolving. It’s worth noting that political statements and positions can change over time, and the context surrounding this statement might provide additional insight into El-Rufai’s perspective and the political climate in Nigeria.
