Public affairs commentator, Deji Adeyanju, has mocked former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai after his reported withdrawal from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s ministerial nomination.
Sunrise reports that the Senate had withheld El-Rufai’s confirmation and those of two others, citing security reports from the Department of State Services.
As a result, El-Rufai was said to have informed President Tinubu of his decision to let go of his ministerial slot, suggesting a replacement.
Reacting, Adeyanju said it would make sense if El-Rufai joined Peter Obi’s Labour Party to contest in 2027.
He said the former FCT Minister should contest with Obi, saying a combined ticket of the two would be like a union made in heaven.
According to him, he would meet fellow religious bigots the moment he defects to the Labour Party.
“But it will make a lot of sense if elRufai joins Labour Party. He will meet his fellow religious bigot there, and they can both run as presidential and VP candidates in 2027. They will fight their religious war together.
“Peter/El-Rufai 2027 ticket will be a strong one. A union made in Heaven. They both have bigotry and betrayal running in their DNA,” he tweeted on Friday.
