Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has distanced himself from what he termed “Nollywood actors” in governance, stating that he does not engage in political theatrics. In response to a social media post praising his straightforward leadership style, el-Rufai made his stance clear: “I don’t know how to pretend. Being a Nollywood actor in governance is for others, not for me.”
This statement comes amid growing tensions with members of President Bola Tinubu’s administration. El-Rufai, who has been outspoken about his concerns with the current leadership of the APC, criticized the party for deviating from its original principles.
His remarks sparked reactions, particularly from presidential aide Daniel Bwala, who suggested that el-Rufai’s views might be different if he were part of the administration. However, el-Rufai firmly denied this, stating that his stance on the APC would remain unchanged regardless of his position in government.
