El-Rufai Denies Friendship with Successor, Mentored Him

Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, clarified rumors about his relationship with his successor, Governor Uba Sani, stating that Sani was his "boy" and not his friend. El-Rufai emphasized that he mentored Sani and took pride in nurturing individuals to greatness.

He denied any friendship with Sani and addressed reports of a fallout, asserting that he would speak out if he felt his protégé was deviating from the right path. El-Rufai also faced accusations of involvement in violence during the Kaduna African Democratic Congress (ADC) transition committee's inauguration.

The clarification sheds light on the dynamics between political figures and the importance of mentorship in leadership roles.
