El-Rufai made the claim on X, while responding to a post by Daniel Bwala, a presidential media aide.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Bwala had chided El-Rufai for criticising the Tinubu-led government, reminding the former governor that he was one of those who campaigned for the president in 2023.
El-Rufai wrote: “I was cabinet minister 22 years ago, and was clear to Asiwaju that I was not interested in any position in his future government.
“The pathetic manner all of you latter-day converts to the Tinubu government make an issue of something that I never wanted in the first place is perhaps a reflection of the level of your moral flexibility.
“If I had remained in the Tinubu government, I will say or do the same on the tragedy within a party I was a founder, and the government that emerged from it – first in private sessions with those concerned, and then go public if no remedial actions are taken.
“Go and check my public service record from 1998. I am only responding to you because I still think you are a decent person who may need a job, and not in the class of Wendell Simlin and that Kaduna pretender that our voters retired in 2019.
“These clowns are political mercenaries that receive humongous monthly stipends from the security vote to be the first to jump on X and other platforms to defend everything the Asiwaju government does or fails to do, no matter how indefensible it may be.
“Enjoy your special adviser position, my brother, but remember that allegiance to God and country comes first in human scale of accountability, before any person or authority.”
Recall that an American woman had accused Omokri of impersonation and identity theft.
Omokri had used the now infamous moniker, Wendell Simlin, in his attempt to link the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Lamido Sanusi, to the terrorist group Boko Haram.
Since then, political opponents like El-Rufai have been using the name when referring to Omokri.
