Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Ibrahim also addressed the opposition’s criticisms, noting that their comments do not undermine the legitimacy of the federal government.
He expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu remains unfazed by the opposition’s sentiments, says all these comments and words and comments are just normal tactics in preparation for the 2027 presidential elections.
Ibrahim referenced the recent ministerial appointment process, citing the example of El-Rufai, who was vetted by the Senate but ultimately did not receive a ministerial appointment.
Senator Ibrahim continued by saying that it wasn’t about being fair, and the matter was based on the security of the country. Many would have claimed that the president wanted to work with El-Rufai in his administration, yet, was denied by the National Assembly.
He claimed it was out of the president hands, that despite him wanting to make El-Rufai a minister, the security of the country wasn’t in support of the move.
In his own words, “If you say people gives bribes, you need to provide evidence. We deal with empirical evidence to generate a reaction. We don’t react by narratives. The key point is that the opposition would say whatever they want to say, but that doesn’t take away your legitimacy of governance. I don’t think President Bola Tinubu is bothered about all these comments and sentiments.”
“El-Rufai was in the National Assembly to declare for minister, he was before us in the senate, he answered questions, but at the end of the day, he was denied the ministerial appointment.”
