The leadership of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has slammed former governor Nasir El-Rufai over his repeated appearances in the media since leaving the party for the opposition.
The spokesperson for the APC, Felix Morka urged the former governor to quit sulking and get a grip of himself.
Morka said that since exiting the party, El-Rufai has continued to seek ways to justify joining the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
In a statement issued on Monday, Morka described the former governor as an individual who stands diminished as the epitome of a self-interested politician.
He said El-Rufai has remained blinded by ego, driven by untamed emotion, and brimming with a vengeful desire to “collapse the system.”
He added that El-Rufai’s interview with the BBC Hausa Service shows a man who is traumatised by his failure to land a ministerial position.
“Nursing a bruised ego, he now lashes out at the platform he rode to political prominence,” Morka noted.
He further stated that contrary to the ex-Kaduna governor’s excuses for leaving the party, the APC is committed to its founding values and ideologies
