Presidency Slams El-Rufai Over 'Life President' Claim Against Tinubu
The Presidency has criticized former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai for suggesting that Bola Tinubu may seek to become a "life president." Presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga dismissed El-Rufai's remarks as hallucinations and desperate outbursts, claiming they were aimed at discrediting Tinubu. Onanuga emphasized that Tinubu is committed to democratic principles and has no intention of overstaying constitutionally permitted terms.
The Presidency highlighted the strong support Tinubu enjoys from Northerners and Nigerians at large, refuting claims of regional abandonment. El-Rufai's comments were labeled as baseless and absurd attempts to tarnish Tinubu's reputation, with the Presidency urging for a focus on unity and professional conduct.
