Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to the President on Policy Communication, has dismissed claims that former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has the political influence to unsettle President Bola Tinubu.
Speaking during an interview with TVC News on Thursday, Bwala downplayed El-Rufai’s political strength, stating that the former governor lacks the capacity to even win a Senate seat.
He stressed that President Tinubu is unbothered by El-Rufai’s recent criticisms of his administration, adding that the former governor only thrives politically when aligned with a strong, revolutionary figure.
“There is a dynamic around him. El-Rufai needs a solid revolutionary figure to thrive”, Bwala said. “On his own, he might not even secure a Senate seat”.
